Quick Start

CloudCLI Cloud (Recommended)

The fastest way to get started — no local setup required. Get a fully managed, containerized development environment accessible from the web, mobile app, API, or your favorite IDE.

Get started with CloudCLI Cloud

Self-Hosted (Open source)

npm

Try CloudCLI UI instantly with npx (requires Node.js v22+):

npx @cloudcli-ai/cloudcli

Or install globally for regular use:

npm install -g @cloudcli-ai/cloudcli
cloudcli

Open http://localhost:3001 — all your existing sessions are discovered automatically.

Visit the documentation → for full configuration options, PM2, remote server setup and more.

Docker Sandboxes (Experimental)

Run agents in isolated sandboxes with hypervisor-level isolation. Starts Claude Code by default. Requires the sbx CLI.

npx @cloudcli-ai/cloudcli@latest sandbox ~/my-project

Supports Claude Code and Codex. See the sandbox docs for setup and advanced options.

Desktop Companion App

CloudCLI Desktop is an optional native companion for CloudCLI Cloud and Local CloudCLI. It ships from this repository's GitHub Releases and keeps CloudCLI available from your menu bar or tray.

• macOS
• Windows
• Download page · GitHub Releases and checksums

Use it to open CloudCLI Cloud environments, switch between local and remote workspaces, and copy mobile/browser URLs. To work locally, choose Local CloudCLI in the desktop app; it will use your running local server or start one for you.

Which option is right for you?

CloudCLI UI is the open source UI layer that powers CloudCLI Cloud. You can self-host it on your own machine, run it in a Docker sandbox for isolation, or use CloudCLI Cloud for a fully managed environment.

	Self-Hosted (npm)	Self-Hosted (Docker Sandbox) (Experimental)	CloudCLI Cloud
Best for	Local agent sessions on your own machine	Isolated agents with web/mobile IDE	Teams who want agents in the cloud
How you access it	Browser via [yourip]:port	Browser via localhost:port	Browser, any IDE, REST API, n8n
Setup	npx @cloudcli-ai/cloudcli	npx @cloudcli-ai/cloudcli@latest sandbox ~/project	No setup required
Isolation	Runs on your host	Hypervisor-level sandbox (microVM)	Full cloud isolation
Machine needs to stay on	Yes	Yes	No
Mobile access	Any browser on your network	Any browser on your network	Any device
Desktop companion	Optional. Choose Local CloudCLI	Optional. Choose Local CloudCLI	Optional. Opens cloud environments
Agents supported	Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex	Claude Code, Codex	Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex
File explorer and Git	Yes	Yes	Yes
MCP configuration	Synced with ~/.claude	Managed via UI	Managed via UI
REST API	Yes	Yes	Yes
Team sharing	No	No	Yes
Platform cost	Free, open source	Free, open source	Starts at €7/month

All options use your own AI subscriptions (Claude, Cursor, etc.) — CloudCLI provides the environment, not the AI.

Security & Tools Configuration

🔒 Important Notice: All Claude Code tools are disabled by default. This prevents potentially harmful operations from running automatically.

Enabling Tools

To use Claude Code's full functionality, you'll need to manually enable tools:

1. Open Tools Settings - Click the gear icon in the sidebar
2. Enable Selectively - Turn on only the tools you need
3. Apply Settings - Your preferences are saved locally

Recommended approach: Start with basic tools enabled and add more as needed. You can always adjust these settings later.

Plugins

CloudCLI has a plugin system that lets you add custom tabs with their own frontend UI and optional Node.js backend. Install plugins from git repos directly in Settings > Plugins, or build your own.

Available Plugins

Plugin	Description
Project Stats	Shows file counts, lines of code, file-type breakdown, largest files, and recently modified files for your current project
Web Terminal	Full xterm.js terminal with multi-tab support
Claude Watch	Watches long-running Claude Code sessions for hangs and exposes process controls
CloudCLI Scheduler	Create workspace-scoped scheduled prompts and execute them through a local CLI such as Codex or Claude Code
PRISM CloudCLI	Session intelligence for Claude Code inside CloudCLI, including token burn visibility
Sessions	View, manage, and kill active Claude Code sessions
Token Cost Calculator	Calculate API costs from model prices and token usage, with preset model pricing support
Task Queue	Task queue dashboard to view, filter, and launch agent tasks
GitHub Issues Board	Kanban board for GitHub Issues with bidirectional TaskMaster sync and /github-task CLI skill auto-install

Build Your Own

Plugin Starter Template → — fork this repo to create your own plugin. It includes a working example with frontend rendering, live context updates, and RPC communication to a backend server.

FAQ

How is this different from Claude Code Remote Control?

Claude Code Remote Control lets you send messages to a session already running in your local terminal. Your machine has to stay on, your terminal has to stay open, and sessions time out after roughly 10 minutes without a network connection.

CloudCLI UI and CloudCLI Cloud extend Claude Code rather than sit alongside it — your MCP servers, permissions, settings, and sessions are the exact same ones Claude Code uses natively. Nothing is duplicated or managed separately.

Here's what that means in practice:

• All your sessions, not just one — CloudCLI UI auto-discovers every session from your ~/.claude folder. Remote Control only exposes the single active session to make it available in the Claude mobile app.
• Your settings are your settings — MCP servers, tool permissions, and project config you change in CloudCLI UI are written directly to your Claude Code config and take effect immediately, and vice versa.
• Works with more agents — Claude Code, Cursor CLI and Codex, not just Claude Code.
• Full UI, not just a chat window — file explorer, Git integration, MCP management, and a shell terminal are all built in.
• CloudCLI Cloud runs in the cloud — close your laptop, the agent keeps running. No terminal to babysit, no machine to keep awake.

Do I need to pay for an AI subscription separately?

Yes. CloudCLI provides the environment, not the AI. You bring your own Claude, Cursor, or Codex subscription. CloudCLI Cloud starts at €7/month for the hosted environment on top of that.

Can I use CloudCLI UI on my phone?

Yes. For self-hosted, run the server on your machine and open [yourip]:port in any browser on your network. For CloudCLI Cloud, open it from any device — no VPN, no port forwarding, no setup. A native app is also in the works.

Will changes I make in the UI affect my local Claude Code setup?

Yes, for self-hosted. CloudCLI UI reads from and writes to the same ~/.claude config that Claude Code uses natively. MCP servers you add via the UI show up in Claude Code immediately and vice versa.
