Coder Agents is Coder's self-hosted AI coding agent platform that lets enterprise engineering teams run fleets of coding agents inside their own cloud or on-premises infrastructure. Announced as generally available on September 9, 2026, it targets organizations that want agentic development without sending source code to a vendor-run control plane. A coordinator agent plans work and delegates to subagents, while developers keep full visibility into every change.
Core Features
- Self-hosted execution: the entire agent workflow runs on infrastructure you control, including air-gapped networks, so code and secrets never leave your perimeter.
- Headless agents: delegate long-running tasks through the Coder Agents API and run many agents in parallel while you work on something else.
- Native coding agent plus APIs for interactive and background development, with MCP and model access controls built in.
- Coder AI Gateway integration for model observability, cost tracking, and budgets across every agent run.
- Enterprise governance: stable APIs, improved agent durability, and organization-scoped model and MCP configuration.
Use Cases
- Regulated industries such as finance and healthcare that need data-sovereign coding automation behind a firewall.
- Platform teams shipping internal developer portals where agents provision their own workspaces.
- Large engineering orgs running many repo migrations or refactors concurrently across subagents.
Pricing
Coder Agents ships in the open-source Community edition for small teams to experiment, and as Coder AI Premium for enterprise scale with commercial support, model routing, and usage-based pricing. A free tier (Community edition) covers evaluation; production fleets move to AI Premium.
Our Take
Best for security-conscious engineering leaders who want GitHub Copilot-style agents without the vendor cloud. The trade-off is operational overhead: you run and monitor the control plane yourself. Explore more AI coding tools.
