An open-source AI agent that is compatible with multiple LLM models（a forked version of Gemini CLI）.

English | 简体中文

This repository contains the Easy LLM CLI（Gemini Cli version of the Fork）, a command-line AI workflow tool that connects to your tools, understands your code and accelerates your workflows. It supports multiple LLM providers including Gemini, OpenAI, and any custom LLM API that follows OpenAI's API format.

With the Easy LLM CLI you can:

• Query and edit large codebases using advanced LLM capabilities with large context windows.
• Generate new apps from PDFs or sketches, using multimodal capabilities.
• Automate operational tasks, like querying pull requests or handling complex rebases.
• Use tools and MCP servers to connect new capabilities.
• Configure and use your preferred LLM provider through simple environment variables.
• Seamlessly switch between different LLM providers without changing your workflow.

---

This plan has conducted tests on various models from different providers as well as locally deployed models across multiple dimensions, including whether they have thinking chain, whether they can complete simple tasks, whether they have tool - calling capabilities, whether they have multimodal capabilities, whether they have complex task capabilities, and whether they can count tokens. The following are the test results:

Quickstart

1. Prerequisites: Ensure you have Node.js version 20 or higher installed.

2. Run the CLI: Execute the following command in your terminal:

   npx easy-llm-cli

   Or install it with:

   npm install -g easy-llm-cli
   elc

Custom LLM Configuration

Easy LLM CLI supports connecting to any OpenAI-compatible LLM API. You can configure your preferred LLM using these environment variables:

# Enable custom LLM support
export USE_CUSTOM_LLM=true 

export CUSTOM_LLM_PROVIDER="openai"  # LLM provider
export CUSTOM_LLM_API_KEY="your-api-key"     # Your LLM provider API key
export CUSTOM_LLM_ENDPOINT="https://api.your-llm-provider.com/v1"  # API endpoint
export CUSTOM_LLM_MODEL_NAME="your-model-name"  # Model name

# Optional parameters
export CUSTOM_LLM_TEMPERATURE=0.7  # Temperature (default: 0)
export CUSTOM_LLM_MAX_TOKENS=8192  # Max tokens (default: 8192)
export CUSTOM_LLM_TOP_P=1          # Top P (default: 1)

When these variables are set, Easy LLM CLI will use your custom LLM instead of the default Gemini model.

Examples

Once the CLI is running, you can start interacting with Gemini from your shell.

You can start a project from a new directory:

cd new-project/
elc
> Write me a Discord bot that answers questions using a FAQ.md file I will provide

Or work with an existing project:

git clone https://github.com/ConardLi/easy-llm-cli
cd easy-llm-cli
elc
> Give me a summary of all of the changes that went in yesterday

Running in Code

Easy LLM supports direct integration into your code via NPM:

import { ElcAgent } from 'easy-llm-cli';

const agent = new ElcAgent({
  model: 'custom-llm-model-name',
  apiKey: 'custom-llm-api-key',
  endpoint: 'custom-llm-endpoint',
  extension: {
    mcpServers: {
      chart: {
        command: 'npx',
        args: ['-y', '@antv/mcp-server-chart'],
        trust: false
      }
    },
    excludeTools: ['run_shell_command']
  }
});

const result = await agent.run('Please generate a bar chart for sales data');
console.log(result);
