Poe Code ⚡

Power your favorite coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and more) with your Poe subscription—no need to handle multiple providers/accounts. Poe Code routes everything through the Poe API .

Use it on a single session (npx poe-code@latest wrap claude) or configure it as your default and use your tools normally.

Quickstart

Start a coding session routing all your claude calls to Poe

npx poe-code@latest wrap claude
# Also available: codex, opencode, kimi

or

Set it as your default (works with CLIs and desktop apps)

This updates the provider’s config files and continue using your tools normally.

# Start the interactive setup
npx poe-code@latest configure

# Setup a specific agent
npx poe-code@latest configure codex # (or claude, opencode, kimi)

Unconfigure (remove overrides)

npx poe-code@latest unconfigure claude

Logout (remove config + credentials)

npx poe-code@latest logout

Poe MCP Server

Give any agent access to all Poe models including latest image, video, and audio models.

# Show configuration JSON and available tools
npx poe-code@latest mcp --help

# Configure an MCP client to use poe-code
npx poe-code@latest mcp configure claude-code

# Remove poe-code from an MCP client
npx poe-code@latest mcp unconfigure claude-code

Available tools

• generate_text – Query any bot on Poe.
• generate_image – Generate images
• generate_video – Generate videos
• generate_audio – Convert text to audio

SDK

Use poe-code programmatically in your own code:

import { spawn, getPoeApiKey } from "poe-code";

// Get stored API key
const apiKey = await getPoeApiKey();

// Run a prompt through a provider
const result = await spawn("claude-code", {
  prompt: "Fix the bug in auth.ts",
  cwd: "/path/to/project",
  model: "claude-sonnet-4-6"
});

console.log(result.stdout);

spawn(service, options)

Runs a single prompt through a configured service CLI.

• service – Service identifier (claude-code, codex, opencode)
• options.prompt – The prompt to send
• options.cwd – Working directory for the service CLI (optional)
• options.model – Model identifier override (optional)
• options.args – Additional arguments forwarded to the CLI (optional)

Returns { stdout, stderr, exitCode }.

spawn.pretty(service, options)

Same as spawn(), but renders the ACP event stream to stdout with colored, formatted output — matching the CLI's visual style.

import { spawn } from "poe-code"

const result = await spawn.pretty("codex", "Fix the bug in auth.ts")
console.log(result.exitCode)

Returns Promise<{ stdout, stderr, exitCode }>.

getPoeApiKey()

Reads the Poe API key with the following priority:

1. POE_API_KEY environment variable
2. Credentials file (~/.poe-code/credentials.json)

Throws if no credentials found.
