Tools: I Curated 120+ Agentic Development Tools So You Don't Have To

AI coding agents went from "nice autocomplete" to "rewrite my entire module" in under a year. The ecosystem is exploding — new IDEs, terminal agents, MCP servers, frameworks, and evaluation tools ship every week.

I spent weeks mapping this landscape and organized everything into one curated list:

If you search for "AI coding tools" you'll find dozens of scattered lists, each covering a narrow slice:

No single resource covers the full stack of agentic development — from the editor you write prompts in, to the observability platform tracking your agent's token spend.

The list is organized into 15 sections with 120+ curated entries, each with a one-line description and pricing tag (Free / Freemium / Paid / Enterprise / OSS).

The big players: Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, Kiro, Trae, and more. These aren't just editors with chat — they run multi-step agentic workflows across your codebase.

For those who live in the terminal: Claude Code, Aider, Gemini CLI, Goose, OpenAI Codex CLI, and others. These tools reason over your entire repo and commit changes directly.

Cline, Roo Code, GitHub Copilot, Continue, KiloCode, Cody — the extensions turning VS Code into an agentic workspace.

Split into multi-agent orchestration (AutoGen, CrewAI, LangGraph, Google ADK, Mastra) and lightweight/specialized (PydanticAI, smolagents, Agno). Whether you're building a research pipeline or a simple tool-calling agent, there's a framework here.
