# Best TypeScript coding agents

> The open-source coding agents written in TypeScript, from the Agent Search Engine index — ranked by real maintained adoption (GitHub stars and recent commit activity), never by sponsorship. Every project here is TypeScript-first, self-hostable, and free to run; the trade-off is you host and maintain it yourself.

Right now it's led by gemini-cli (106k stars), with vibesdk and MonkeyCode close behind. Rankings shift as projects gain stars and ship commits.

## FAQ

**What are the best TypeScript coding agents?**
The TypeScript projects listed below, ranked by maintained adoption — GitHub stars plus recent commit activity — so you see what's genuinely used and still maintained, not abandoned.

**Are these TypeScript coding agents open source and free?**
Yes — every project on this page is open source and written primarily in TypeScript. The software is free to run and self-host; you still pay for the infrastructure you run it on and any model or API usage it makes.

**Why choose TypeScript coding agents specifically?**
Staying in your team's primary language — TypeScript — makes self-hosting, extending, and debugging far easier, because you can read and modify the source directly instead of treating it as a black box.
