Whale

MCP.Pizza Chef: usewhale

This command-line assistant reads your project's files, edits code, runs commands, and searches the web to help you finish programming tasks — all without leaving your terminal. It can connect to thousands of add-on tools for extra abilities, such as working with databases or browsers, and it can be set up to run multi-step jobs on its own, like reviewing a batch of files or researching a topic from several angles at once. You'll need a DeepSeek account and a personal access key to use it, and it runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

Whale FAQ

Do I need an account or key to use this?

Yes — you need a DeepSeek account and a personal access key before you can start. The setup process walks you through entering the key the first time.

How hard is it to set up?

You'll need to install it from the command line and enter your DeepSeek key — there's no drag-and-drop installer, so some comfort with a terminal helps.

Can I use this to review my code before I commit it?

Yes — you can ask it to read through your files and point out bugs, style issues, or missing tests before you push changes.

Can I use this to research a topic from multiple angles automatically?

Yes — you can set up a scripted job that has the AI search several angles of a question at once and combine the answers into one summary.

Does it only work with DeepSeek?

It's built and tuned specifically for DeepSeek's models, though its settings allow swapping in another provider such as OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini if you need to.

Will it run on my computer?

Yes — it installs on Mac, Windows, and Linux through the command line.

Can it connect to other apps and tools?

Yes — it can plug into thousands of add-on tools, letting it do things like browse the web, work with files, or check a database.

Is this safe to use on my real projects?

The maker recommends starting with personal or test projects rather than critical work, since the tool is still under active development and can change quickly.
