About
Grok Build is xAI's terminal-based AI coding agent, running as a full-screen TUI that understands a codebase, edits files, executes shell commands, searches the web, and manages long-running tasks. It supports interactive, headless (CI/scripting), and editor-embedded use via the Agent Client Protocol, with support for MCP servers, skills, plugins, hooks, and sandboxing.
What it can do
Analyze and understand a codebase
Codebase → Contextual understanding
Edit files
File content → Modified files
Execute shell commands
Shell command → Command output
Search the web
Search query → Web results
Why it made the leaderboard
Grok Build gives you an open-source, Rust-based terminal coding agent tied to xAI's models that runs interactively, headlessly in CI, or embedded in editors via the Agent Client Protocol. If you want a Claude Code/Codex-style workflow without the OpenAI or Anthropic lock-in, this is the first-party option with MCP, skills, plugins, and hooks built in.
