Known limitations

The current gaps in LinkCode worth knowing about before you rely on a feature that isn't there yet.

This page is the single place LinkCode's docs collect known gaps. Other pages link here instead of repeating this list.

Thread controls

  • Editing a message you've already sent, branching a thread partway through, and the thumbs-up/down feedback buttons are visible in the conversation but not functional yet.
  • Prompts are images and text. Other file types can be attached to a thread through the Resources panel, but not pasted into a message.

Connecting your own tools

  • There's no way to attach your own MCP servers to a thread yet. LinkCode's agents can carry MCP servers — that's how the iOS Simulator tools reach them — but the set is LinkCode's, not yours. Pi is the exception that can't use MCP at all.

Agent-specific gaps

  • Grok Build runs every tool without approval prompts and can't be switched, reports no tool activity (its headless mode streams only text and reasoning), takes no image attachments, and can't resume a stopped thread.
  • OpenCode follows a single live connection per thread. If it drops mid-turn the thread stops rather than continuing silently — send again to pick it up.
  • OpenCode, Pi, and Grok Build report file edits as plain text instead of diff cards.
  • Pi has no sandbox of its own: LinkCode's approval policies control whether you're asked, not what a tool can reach once you allow it.

See the agents overview for the full comparison.

Panels

  • The bottom dock renders only terminal tabs. A Diff, Browser, or Files tab placed there shows an empty placeholder — use the right panel for those.
  • The Simulator panel is macOS-only and needs Xcode with an iOS runtime. Some hosts can list simulators but not stream them, when the system framework the stream depends on isn't available.

Remote access

In development

A browser-based client and a mobile app exist in development but aren't distributed yet. Signing in to LinkCode Cloud lets a desktop app reach your other hosts, but desktop remains the only client you can install.
