Pi, the minimalist coding agent acquired by Earendil in April 2026, has reached version 1.0 with Model Context Protocol (MCP) support. The change reverses creator Mario Zechner’s earlier public dismissal of MCP. Earendil says its own MCP changes also make it easier to integrate the Jev decision model and other capabilities.
The release adds Codemode, a harness-side sandbox for tool calls, MCP, decision models and image models, plus virtual-model extensions, deferred tool loading, Anthropic cache warming, mid-conversation system messages and a new full-screen TUI default. Earendil also introduced Pi Durable, a separate SQLite- and JSONL-backed layer for storing and orchestrating long-running agentic applications; it complements rather than replaces the coding agent.
