Set up a Local Agent

A Local Agent uses a coding tool on a connected computer. Install the tool on the computer where the work should run. OpenMeld does not replace the tool’s account or subscription.

You do not need a Local Agent for the browser Quickstart.

Want help with the connection step? Copy a setup prompt for your agent.

1. Follow your tool’s guide above and complete its sign-in or provider setup.
2. Connect your computer to OpenMeld.
3. Check Local agents in that computer’s details. Resolve the displayed reason if your tool is unavailable.
4. Create a Local Agent and choose the computer, tool, and working folder.
5. Send a small request, such as the code review example, and check the actual reply.

Already installed a supported tool? Check its availability in OpenMeld before installing another copy. A detected executable, a connected computer, and a completed task are separate results.

If setup failsCopy Anchor Link

Use Computer help for connection problems or Agent not replying when a request has no result. Complete provider sign-in in the tool itself, then check again in OpenMeld.
