@matifali @DevelopmentCats, most of the module works fine, but now I’m implementing MCP configuration and task prompts with active chatting.

The --message flag disables chat mode, runs only the prompt, and then exits the program. I’m trying to find a way to keep chat mode running inside the module.

@Harsh9485, I think we should run in chat mode using AgentAPI by default, but provide the option to use message mode and disable AgentAPI (i.e., Coder Tasks) integration if a user wants to run in that mode.

So should I give the user three options:
1 Empty prompt (works fine),
2 Task prompt,
3 Run the Aider module with a task prompt (runs only once and disables AgentAPI)

Yes @Harsh9485

@matifali, unfortunately we can’t run interactive mode with the --message flag. What should I do now?

@matifali @DevelopmentCats. PR ready to review.

@matifali @DevelopmentCats, I have added the MCP server configuration.

@matifali @DevelopmentCats, let me know if you need any changes in the code.

@DevelopmentCats, did we fix the agentapi -l flag error?

What issue where you getting with the -I flag?

I mentioned the error in this Discord thread. https://discord.com/channels/747933592273027093/1425453418998403169

@matifali @DevelopmentCats, I think most of the work is done. check the changes and let me know if I need to change or do anything.

@Harsh9485

Are you sure this isn't because you have agent api v0.6.3 pinned in the module which doesn't include the -I flag since it was introduced in https://github.com/coder/agentapi/releases/tag/v0.9.0

You’re right, @DevelopmentCats. I updated the agentapi module version, not agentapi itself. Now the initial_prompt is working, and you can review the PR and let me know if you’d like any changes.

I'm glad it was an easy fix 😃

I will test out the module and then give it a final review.

@Harsh9485 the last thing you will need to do is update the new module version in the examples to 2.0.0 instead of 1.0.0 which would bring it backwards from 1.1.2
