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.
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.

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:
- Open Tools Settings - Click the gear icon in the sidebar
- Enable Selectively - Turn on only the tools you need
- Apply Settings - Your preferences are saved locally
Tools Settings interface - enable only what you need
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.
