BustaCode vs the rest

Why developers switch to BustaCode.

One IDE. Every agent. One workspace. Cursor, Codex and the OpenAI API in one chat, every project in a single window, and Git, Docker, SSH and MCP built in — here is how that stacks up.

Why BustaCode

Everything you juggle today, in one window.

One IDE. Every agent. One workspace.

  • Every agent in one IDE

    Cursor (official CLI over ACP), Codex (app-server) and the OpenAI API in a single BustaAI chat with Ask, Plan and Agent modes. Switch agents, not apps.

  • As many folders as you want

    Open as many folders and projects as you need in a single BustaCode window. No more 20 separate windows to keep track of.

  • One workspace, two modes

    Full IDE or the agent-focused BustaAgents view — same window, same projects, and you keep the active conversation.

  • Git & worktrees built in

    Diffs, branches, history, worktrees and pull-request workflows, with parallel agent conversations in tabs.

  • Docker & SSH out of the box

    Explore containers and logs, and inspect Linux hosts over SSH — CPU, memory, services and ports — with no extra extensions.

  • MCP with access controls

    Project-level MCP integrations through a local gateway, plus project memory and Busta Graph for code relationships.
