Quick Start
snow-flow
On first launch, Snow-Flow prompts you to configure an AI provider. You can also pre-configure in snow-flow.jsonc:
{
"$schema": "https://snow-flow.dev/config.json",
"provider": {
"anthropic": {},
"openai": {},
},
}
Supported AI Providers
Snow-Flow is not coupled to any single AI provider. Use whichever model works best for you.
<table> <tr> <td><b>Anthropic</b></td> <td><b>OpenAI</b></td> <td><b>Google</b></td> <td><b>AWS Bedrock</b></td> </tr> <tr> <td><sub>Claude 4.5/4.6 Opus, Sonnet, Haiku</sub></td> <td><sub>GPT-5, GPT-4, o-series reasoning</sub></td> <td><sub>Gemini 2.5 Pro, Flash + Vertex AI</sub></td> <td><sub>All models, cross-region support</sub></td> </tr> <tr><td colspan="4"> </td></tr> <tr> <td><b>Azure</b></td> <td><b>GitHub Copilot</b></td> <td><b>Mistral</b></td> <td><b>Groq</b></td> </tr> <tr> <td><sub>OpenAI + Cognitive Services</sub></td> <td><sub>GPT-5 via Copilot enterprise</sub></td> <td><sub>Large, Medium, Small</sub></td> <td><sub>Ultra-fast inference</sub></td> </tr> <tr><td colspan="4"> </td></tr> <tr> <td><b>xAI</b></td> <td><b>OpenRouter</b></td> <td><b>GitLab AI</b></td> <td><b>+ 10 more</b></td> </tr> <tr> <td><sub>Grok models</sub></td> <td><sub>100+ models, single API</sub></td> <td><sub>Native GitLab integration</sub></td> <td><sub>Cohere, Perplexity, DeepInfra, Cerebras, Together AI, Vercel, ...</sub></td> </tr> </table> <br>Agents
Switch between agents with Tab:
| Agent | Description |
|---|---|
| build | Default agent with full tool access for development work |
| plan | Read-only agent for analysis and exploration — denies edits, asks before bash |
| general | Subagent for complex multi-step tasks — invoke with @general |
Custom agents can be configured in snow-flow.jsonc with per-agent model selection, permissions, and temperature controls. Learn more about agents.

Extend with MCP & Plugins
<table> <tr> <td width="50%" valign="top">MCP Servers
Connect any MCP-compatible server via stdio, SSE, or streamable HTTP with OAuth support:
{
"mcp": {
"context7": {
"type": "remote",
"url": "https://mcp.context7.com/mcp",
},
"custom-tools": {
"type": "local",
"command": ["node", "./server.js"],
},
},
}
Plugins
Extend with npm packages or local plugins that add tools, auth providers, event hooks, and config hooks:
{
"plugin": ["my-snow-flow-plugin", "file://./local-plugin"],
}
Headless / Server Mode
Run Snow-Flow as a headless API server for CI/CD pipelines, remote control, or web UI access:
snow-flow serve # Start API server on port 4096
snow-flow serve --port 8080 # Custom port
snow-flow web # Start server + open web interface
snow-flow attach http://host:4096 # Attach TUI to remote server
Permission System
Fine-grained control over what agents can do, with glob pattern matching and env file protection by default:
{
"permission": {
"bash": "ask",
"write": "allow",
"read": "allow",
"external_directory": "deny",
},
}
The install script respects the following priority order:
$SNOW_FLOW_INSTALL_DIR— Custom installation directory$XDG_BIN_DIR— XDG Base Directory Specification compliant path$HOME/bin— Standard user binary directory$HOME/.snow-flow/bin— Default fallback
