Using MenteE SWE in CI/CD: Headless Mode for Automated Code Fixes

MenteE SWE is not just a terminal tool — it supports headless mode for scripted and CI/CD workflows. Here is how to integrate it into your pipeline.

Headless mode

mentee --yes --no-tui "fix the failing tests"

The --yes flag auto-approves restricted operations. --no-tui disables the interactive terminal UI and outputs plain text. This is ideal for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or any scripted environment.

Example: GitHub Actions

- name: Auto-fix lint issues
  run: |
    npx @menteeai/menteeswe --yes --no-tui "fix all ESLint errors in src/"

MenteE SWE will explore the codebase, identify the lint errors, apply fixes, run your linter to verify, and report what changed — all without human intervention.

Safety in automation

Even in headless mode, the safety model applies. Dangerous commands are blocked. Deletion is never automatic. The agent is scoped to your workspace. In CI, this means it can fix code but cannot push — you review and merge.

Provider configuration for CI

Set your API key as a CI secret: MENTEE_ZAI_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.MENTEE_ZAI_API_KEY }}. The agent reads it from the environment — no config file needed in CI.
