## Stack context This is the base of a 3-PR stack promoting the chat API from `/api/experimental` to `/api/v2`: server compatibility mounts (this PR), codersdk promotion (#28497), and frontend path updates (#28498). ## Summary Double-mount the stable chat and MCP handlers under `/api/v2` while retaining the existing experimental routes for the one-release compatibility window decided in CODAGT-921. CODAGT-922 tracks removing the compatibility mounts. The shared route builders preserve existing authentication and middleware behavior. Experiment-gated, debug, tombstone, and legacy default-organization model routes remain experimental-only. Signed file URLs, external OAuth callback URLs, and mixed-version replica relays also remain on the experimental prefix during the transition. Update Swagger and the generated API reference for the promoted routes, including the workspace lookup and a runnable raw-body chat file upload example. Retain internal endpoints outside the published reference, share chat-file rate limits across both prefixes, enable CORS for the v2 MCP routes, and cover dual mounts plus exclusions with compatibility tests. Remote dogfood UAT passed for the promoted chat, model, MCP, and file flows. > [!NOTE] > Xum acted on Mike's behalf in this pull request. <!-- xum-attribution: model=claude-fable-5 thinking=high -->
Coder is a self-hosted platform for cloud development environments and AI coding agents. Workspaces are defined with Terraform, connected through a secure Wireguard® tunnel, and automatically shut down when not used. Coder Agents runs a native AI coding agent whose loop executes in the control plane on your infrastructure, with no API keys in workspaces.
- Define cloud development environments in Terraform
- EC2 VMs, Kubernetes Pods, Docker Containers, etc.
- Automatically shutdown idle resources to save on costs
- Onboard developers in seconds instead of days
- Delegate coding work to AI agents on your infrastructure
- Bring any model (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Bedrock, self-hosted)
- No LLM credentials in workspaces, user identity on every action
- Centralized model governance, cost tracking, and audit logging
Quickstart
Check out our install guides for other methods and a complete tutorial.
Try Coder with the install script on Linux and macOS, or grab the latest binary or installer from GitHub Releases on Windows:
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
Start the server and open http://localhost:3000 to create your initial user, create a Docker template, and provision your first workspace:
coder server
For a production deployment, add a PostgreSQL database (version 13 or later) and an external access URL, and see our validated architectures for sizing and infrastructure guidance:
coder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>
Without these flags, Coder uses a built-in database and sets up a *.try.coder.app access URL for evaluation. Use coder --help for the full list of flags and environment variables.
