Crush is a terminal-based agentic coding assistant from Charm that wires your codebase, tools, and workflows into the LLM of your choice. It supports multiple models, session-based context, LSP integration, and extensibility via MCP servers.

Use cases

  • ai coding assistant in the terminal
  • refactor code with an llm agent
  • chat with an ai about my codebase
  • switch between llm providers while coding
  • extend a coding agent with mcp tools
  • run an ai pair programmer on windows or bsd

When to choose

  • you want an open-source terminal coding agent with multi-model support
  • you need LSP-enhanced context and MCP extensibility
  • you work across many platforms including BSD and Android terminals

When to avoid

  • you prefer a GUI-based AI IDE like Cursor
  • you need a fully self-hosted local model workflow without API keys
  • you dislike terminal-based interfaces
