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.

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

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.

Plugin Documentation → — full guide to the plugin API, manifest format, security model, and more.

Private Repositories

The server installs and updates plugins with git clone and git pull, using the git credentials of the operating-system user it runs as (for a systemd service, the unit's User=). The server cannot answer a password or passphrase prompt during an install, so set up credentials for that user before installing from a private repository:

• https:// URLs: configure a git credential helper, for example gh auth login followed by gh auth setup-git, or a token in ~/.git-credentials with git config --global credential.helper store.
• git@ URLs: give that user an SSH key the git host accepts and that works without a prompt: either it has no passphrase, or it is loaded into an ssh-agent whose SSH_AUTH_SOCK the server process inherits. Also add the host to that user's ~/.ssh/known_hosts, for example by running ssh -T [email protected] once as that user.

Without credentials, an https:// install fails with a message saying that the repository is private or does not exist. Most git hosts, GitHub included, answer the same way for both. If the host rejects the credentials (wrong, expired or revoked), or ssh cannot log in for a git@ URL, the message says so.
