Bolt puts a full AI engineering team directly in your terminal. It ships as a fast, keyboard-driven TUI and a native desktop app, both backed by the same engine: ten specialized agents, persistent durable sessions, MCP server management with OAuth, a plugin system, and support for every major LLM provider.Documentation Index

What Bolt does
Bolt reads your codebase, understands what you’re building, and ships code with you—in the terminal or as a desktop app. Each session is durable: detach, re-attach from another machine, fork a branch of the conversation, share a link, or export a sanitized transcript.Sessions
Persistent, forkable sessions stored in local SQLite.
Providers & Models
Bring your own API key for any major LLM provider.
