Bitpull

BitPull (bitpull.cloud)

Share code knowledge and computing power with AI tools. BitPull is a desktop app and command-line tool for developers. With it you can:

• Publish signed, AI-readable code repositories. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other AI tools search them through MCP.
• Lend idle CPU, memory and open AI models (text, vision, images, speech, music) and earn credits. Lending is off until you turn it on, with daily, weekly and monthly limits.
• Use the community network: run jobs in sandboxes on other people's computers, encrypted on the way, and ask open models.
• My network: computers you add run your own jobs first, for free. They can also run one larger model together, from the dashboard, and offer it to others for credits.
• Chat and local APIs: a chat page for every model, and OpenAI, Claude Messages and Ollama compatible endpoints on this computer for your other tools.
• Projects: a code editor on a folder you authorise, with agents that edit it: file tree, tabs, search, Git panel (push only with your click), Problems, outline, local history, inline edits, @file references, diffs you keep or undo piece by piece, Stop and Undo. Ask always, accept edits or auto: in auto commands run on your computer in the project folder within automatic limits; with community models, and for publishing or risky commands, every command waits for your click.
• Terminal: a real terminal in the projects view of the desktop app, off until you turn it on. The npm package leaves out its native component to stay small.
• Costs less: models run on computers people already own. No monthly fee with pay as you go, or plans from €4.50 a month, VAT included.

Install

The install scripts verify the SHA-256 of the download before installing it, install for the current user and add the bitpull command. Installers are also available at https://bitpull.cloud/download

Use it from your AI tool (MCP)

{ "mcpServers": { "bitpull": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "bitpull", "mcp"] } } }

You can also connect it from the app, or with bitpull connect claude-code|codex|cursor|windsurf|gemini|vscode|claude-desktop.

Then ask your assistant to log in. The bitpull_login tool shows a link and a code, and you approve it on the website: the assistant never sees your password.

The tools include:

• search_repos, read_manifest, fetch_files
• ask_open_model, use_open_model, list_open_models
• ask_group_model, list_group_models: the model run by the person's own group of computers
• bitpull_groups, bitpull_start_group, bitpull_stop_group, bitpull_share_group and the others named bitpull_*: every item of the app's control panel
• run_job, job_status, my_balance
• bitpull_login, bitpull_logout, bitpull_setup_status, bitpull_set_lending_rules, bitpull_set_ai_limits, bitpull_install, bitpull_download_model

Privacy and safety

• BitPull reads only the folders you authorise and publishes only what you publish.
• Jobs travel encrypted and BitPull's server cannot read them. The computer that runs a job reads its content to do the work: for private data, use only your own computers. On your computer they run in sandboxes without internet access or access to your files. More at https://bitpull.cloud/security
• The computer that runs a job must decrypt it to do the work. For private data use --mine: the job never leaves the computers of your network.
• The local dashboard and API listen only on 127.0.0.1 and require a secret token.
• Requests to proprietary models offered by the platform (Claude, GPT, Gemini…) pass through BitPull's server to the provider: they are not end-to-end encrypted.
