Work from VS Code
Install Mel as an extension and open it next to your code — on your Mel plan.
Build with the API
Open Mel runs from your own scripts and tools with a Mel API key, on your own model key.
One terminal. A whole team of agents.
Agents that plan, run and verify, work in parallel, run on your servers over SSH, plug into MCP and VS Code, remember your project, and reach you on Telegram.
Ask in plain English, and Mel does the work: it reads your project, runs the commands, follows the approvals you set, and checks the result. Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Qwen and more, with fallback across providers.
