Making vibecoding free, and actually good.

I built Opencodex. Opencodex is a free, open-source coding agent that runs inside VS Code, bringing a Codex-style agent loop to the editor you already use. It works with only the free models from OpenCode, OpenRouter, Groq, Gemini, and Mistral (or local Ollama models) and the default provider (Opencode) without writing keys to settings. The agent can inspect a repository, present a pinned plan, edit and delete files within the workspace boundary, run commands with configurable approvals, delegate to subagents, and use tools from configured MCP servers. In the past week since release, Opencodex has already reached over 500+ installs on the VS Code marketplace, and 40+ stars on GitHub, showing real growth and real world usage.

I just made real vibecoding free.
I created Opencodex, a VS Code agent extension that gives you a workflow almost identical to OpenAI Codex, but without requiring a paid AI subscription or actually, any account at all to start. It lets you use free models from 5 different cloud providers, as well as Ollama for local models.
In just one week on the VS Code Marketplace, Opencodex has already passed 480 installs. The main difference from competitors like Cline, Continue, and Kilo Code is that while those tools are free to install, you generally still need to bring your own API key or pay for model usage. Opencodex focuses on making the entire experience accessible for free. I’m working on making MCP more intuitive by removing the current bland JSON editor to a ChatGPT style MCP manager.
