Behindthe code
Mikesoft is an independent digital studio working remotely, based in Tuscany, Italy. Few projects at a time, one point of contact, nobody standing between the person deciding and the person writing the code.
Who is behind it
Over ten years of code, always on the same idea.
Michael wrote his first HTML page at thirteen and has never stopped since: first studying and building websites for relatives and friends, then more than ten years of professional work, while continuing to train to stay up to date and improve. Today he leads strategy, technical direction and delivery on every project, for clients spread across Italy and abroad. From the first email to handover the contact never changes, and whoever answers your question is the same person who wrote the line of code in question.
Alongside client projects we publish open source software: VS Code extensions, MCP servers, local-first apps and tax tools. That work lets us test technical choices on real products and contribute to projects maintained by other communities too.
When a project needs another discipline, such as photography, video or specialist content, we work with selected professionals from the area. Coordination stays with us, and so does responsibility.
The training never stopped: there are certifications behind this from AWS, IBM and Anthropic, mostly on AI-assisted software development. We do not hang them on the wall. They exist so tools get chosen knowingly, and the measure is still the code below.
He founded Vibe Coding Italia, an Italian blog and community on AI-assisted software development with over 1,000 members and growing, where he writes guides and moderates the community.

Four principles
Rules we set ourselves and do not negotiate.
Short chain
You talk to the person designing and developing. No account manager translating, no brief lost on the way.
Few projects
Few projects in parallel. We keep the workload visible so each one gets proper attention and dates can be planned realistically.
Code that lasts
Written to be read by whoever comes after us. Three years post-launch it still has to fly.
Software we publish
Open source
Developer tooling and local-first apps, free to use. Every line is public: you can read it before trusting us with a project.
Super CLI
A single VS Code sidebar to launch Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, OpenCode and the other coding agents. Works in Cursor, Antigravity and Windsurf too, on Windows, macOS and Linux.
KeySoft
An offline-first Android password manager: a locally encrypted vault, biometric unlock and secrets that stay on the device.
Mikesoft TeamVault
Confidential documents inside WordPress: protected storage, permissions, previews, export and an activity log.
EasyPIVA
An open source calculator for the Italian flat-rate tax regime and INPS contributions, updated to the 2026 rules.
Chutes Build
A privacy-first terminal coding agent written in Rust: a text interface, configurable providers and explicit control over the context sent.
Chutes Media MCP
An MCP server and CLI that generates images, video, music and speech straight into the project you are working on.
Chutes Model Provider
Brings Chutes models into VS Code Chat: auto-discovery, streaming, tool calling in agent mode and vision support.
Chutes Usage
Chutes usage, quotas and rolling limits monitored inside VS Code: what is left is visible at a glance, without opening the site.
Agentic R&D Skill
A portable multi-agent research workflow: the same steps run on Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Gemini CLI and OpenCode.
Discord Management MCP
An MCP server to administer a Discord server, with JSON backups, a restore plan and guarded destructive operations.
Copilot BYOK Switcher
Your own provider models inside the GitHub Copilot CLI /model picker: several providers in the same session, without persisting credentials.
Hermes Chutes Provider
A standalone plugin connecting Hermes Agent to Chutes models via the OpenAI-compatible API: it discovers models from the live catalog, outside the core tree.
OpenClaw Command Code
A model-provider plugin that brings Command Code (commandcode.ai) into OpenClaw, with the same interface as the other providers.
CLI launchers for VS Code
A family of extensions that open your agent of choice (Copilot CLI, Codex, Kimi, Kilo, Grok, Antigravity) in a side terminal with one click.
Where we work
Projects across Italy, meetings in Tuscany.
The work is remote, and the method does not change with the distance: written communication, an online preview from day one, an update at every step and one person answering. We run projects across Italy and abroad on the same process.
The base is in the province of Lucca: when a project needs a face-to-face, we meet in Tuscany, at your place, with no travel charge. Outside the region the meeting is a video call on Meet or Teams, looking at the same screen together.

Who already chose us
“Technique, art, intuition and sensitivity. Delighted with the excellent site built for me.”
Vasco MerciadriSurgeon“Delivered quickly and with excellent quality. Highly recommended.”
Marco LanzoniBusiness owner“My website was ten years old. Today it is fast, clear and it finally brings in leads.”
Laura LuisottiMerchantStart with a conversation
Two lines about your project are enough to tell whether we are the right studio for you, including when the answer is no. If you would rather talk it through, a call is always an option, never a requirement.
