Quickstart for your coding agent

The fastest way to get started with Edgee. Two commands to install, authenticate, and launch your coding assistant with compression.

The Edgee CLI is the fastest way to use Edgee with your AI coding assistant. It handles account creation, authentication, and tool configuration automatically, no manual API key setup or environment variables needed.

1. Install the CLI

   macOS / Linux

   curl -fsSL https://edgee.ai/install.sh | bash
   

   Homebrew (macOS)

   brew install edgee-ai/tap/edgee
   

   Windows (PowerShell)

   irm https://edgee.ai/install.ps1 | iex
   
2. Launch your coding assistant

   edgee launch claude
   

   That’s it. Claude Code is now running with Edgee compression and full observability enabled.

   For Codex users:

   edgee launch codex
   

   For OpenCode users:

   edgee launch opencode
   

After your session ends, the CLI prints a link to view your session analytics, token usage, compression savings, and cost breakdown, directly in the Edgee Console.

The CLI requires Claude Code or Codex to be installed on your machine.
