About this project
An MCP tool that wraps aider as a coding assistant for other Claude sessions. The idea was that Claude could hand coding tasks to aider running a cheaper model, saving the more expensive Anthropic Claude Code tokens.
In practice I don't use it at the moment. I'm on a Claude Code Pro subscription, and my own tokens cover what I need day to day. It is parked rather than retired.
The main reason it is parked: with Kimi K2.5 sitting behind aider, the output was not good enough. Even with Claude choosing what to hand off, the results came back patchy. Partly it needed a stronger model, partly the way work got split was not cohesive enough for aider to make sense of. I may come back to this when there is a model I trust more behind it.
