# Shippie

> Shippie (v0.21.2, June 2026) runs an agent loop that reads the diff, explores the repo with developer tools and posts focused review comments, for example on exposed secrets, slow code and edge cases. Runs as a GitHub Action, in GitLab CI, on Node or Cloudflare, or locally on staged changes (\`npx shippie review\`), and can call MCP tools. MIT. Built-in providers are paid APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Cloudflare Workers AI); Ollama needs a code change.
