# Run AI Coding Agents in Coder
|
|
|
|
Learn how to run & manage coding agents with Coder, both alongside existing workspaces and for background task execution.
|
|
|
|
## Agents in the IDE
|
|
|
|
Coder [integrates with IDEs](../user-guides/workspace-access/index.md) such as Cursor, Windsurf, and Zed that include built-in coding agents to work alongside developers. Additionally, template admins can [pre-install extensions](https://registry.coder.com/modules/coder/vscode-web) for agents such as GitHub Copilot and Roo Code.
|
|
|
|
These agents work well inside existing Coder workspaces as they can simply be enabled via an extension or are built-into the editor.
|
|
|
|
## Agents with Coder Tasks
|
|
|
|
In cases where the IDE is secondary, such as prototyping or long-running background jobs, agents like Claude Code or Aider are better for the job and new SaaS interfaces like [Devin](https://devin.ai) and [ChatGPT Codex](https://openai.com/index/introducing-codex/) are emerging.
|
|
|
|
[Coder Tasks](./tasks.md) is an interface inside Coder to run and manage coding agents with a chat-based UI. Unlike SaaS-based products, Coder Tasks is self-hosted (included in your Coder deployment) and allows you to run any terminal-based agent such as Claude Code or Codex's Open Source CLI.

## Secure Your Workflows with Agent Boundaries (Beta)
|
|
|
|
AI agents can be powerful teammates, but must be treated as untrusted and unpredictable interns as opposed to tools. Without the right controls, they can go rogue.
|
|
|
|
[Agent Boundaries](./boundary/agent-boundary.md) is a new tool that offers process-level safeguards that detect and prevent destructive actions. Unlike traditional mitigation methods like firewalls, service meshes, and RBAC systems, Agent Boundaries is an agent-aware, centralized control point that can either be embedded in the same secure Coder Workspaces that enterprises already trust, or used through an open source CLI.
