Welcome to the official documentation for Mako Code. This documentation will help you understand how to use Mako Code effectively for your data analysis workflows.

​
What is Mako Code?

Mako Code is an open source Independent Analytics Environment (IAE) that is built for data people who love to code. It is a workflow designed for fast ad hoc analysis with features to let you productize your work. So you can get to answers quickly while building a foundation for future data products.

Mako Code is not a vibe coding tool, and doesn’t come with an LLM. But it does come with an opinion:

  • The Monaco Code Editor
  • Python built in functions
  • Polars only for dataframe manipulation
  • Direct link to Polars docs and AI chat
  • Bokeh for data viz
  • Parquets as the local file type
  • Apache Arrow for data serialization
  • Pydantic data models
  • Ruff for linting
  • Fast API backend
  • Svelte JS front end
