Install
bash <(curl -fsSL https://cdn.link-ai.tech/code/cow/run.sh)Our take
A widely starred, actively maintained MIT project (formerly chatgpt-on-wechat lineage) with installers for Linux/macOS, Windows PowerShell, Docker, and a desktop client. It is a standalone agent harness rather than a direct Claude Code plugin; Claude is one of many supported model providers. The installer pipes a remote script from a third-party CDN, and server deployments need web_password set before exposing port 9899.
