# Overview

> OpenLIT ships first-class observability for AI coding agents - Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Windsurf - with no SDK and no code changes

OpenLIT ships first-class observability for AI coding agents. The `openlit` CLI ingests events from each vendor's hook system, normalizes them onto OpenTelemetry's `gen_ai.*` and OpenLIT's `coding_agent.*` semantic conventions, and ships them to your existing OpenLIT collector. The [Agents page](/latest/openlit/observability/agents/overview)'s Coding Agents tab detects them automatically - no controller, no SDK, no code change in your repos.

<Note>
  You only need an OpenLIT instance and the `openlit` CLI on each developer's machine. The CLI talks **only** to your OpenLIT endpoint. There is no managed cloud for coding-agent telemetry.

## Prerequisites

* A running OpenLIT instance - see [Installation](/latest/openlit/installation) if you don't have one.
