Claude Code UI

Cloud CLI (aka Claude Code UI)

A desktop and mobile UI for [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code), [Cursor CLI](https://docs.cursor.com/en/cli/overview) and [Codex](https://developers.openai.com/codex). You can use it locally or remotely to view your active projects and sessions in Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex and make changes to them from everywhere (mobile or desktop). This gives you a proper interface that works everywhere. ## Screenshots

You can also switch branches - **Session Management** - Resume conversations, manage multiple sessions, and track history - **TaskMaster AI Integration** *(Optional)* - Advanced project management with AI-powered task planning, PRD parsing, and workflow automation - **Model Compatibility** - Works with Claude Sonnet 4.5, Opus 4.5, and GPT-5.2 ## Quick Start ### Prerequisites - [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) v20 or higher - [Claude Code CLI](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) installed and configured, and/or - [Cursor CLI](https://docs.cursor.com/en/cli/overview) installed and configured, and/or - [Codex](https://developers.openai.com/codex) installed and configured ### One-click Operation (Recommended) No installation required, direct operation: ```bash npx @siteboon/claude-code-ui ``` The server will start and be accessible at `http://localhost:3001` (or your configured PORT). **To restart**: Simply run the same `npx` command again after stopping the server ### Global Installation (For Regular Use) For frequent use, install globally once: ```bash npm install -g @siteboon/claude-code-ui ``` Then start with a simple command: ```bash claude-code-ui ``` **To restart**: Stop with Ctrl+C and run `claude-code-ui` again. **To update**: ```bash cloudcli update ``` ### CLI Usage After global installation, you have access to both `claude-code-ui` and `cloudcli` commands: | Command / Option | Short | Description | |------------------|-------|-------------| | `cloudcli` or `claude-code-ui` | | Start the server (default) | | `cloudcli start` | | Start the server explicitly | | `cloudcli status` | | Show configuration and data locations | | `cloudcli update` | | Update to the latest version | | `cloudcli help` | | Show help information | | `cloudcli version` | | Show version information | | `--port ` | `-p` | Set server port (default: 3001) | | `--database-path ` | | Set custom database location | **Examples:** ```bash cloudcli # Start with defaults cloudcli -p 8080 # Start on custom port cloudcli status # Show current configuration ``` ### Run as Background Service (Recommended for Production) For production use, run Claude Code UI as a background service using PM2 (Process Manager 2): #### Install PM2 ```bash npm install -g pm2 ``` #### Start as Background Service ```bash # Start the server in background pm2 start claude-code-ui --name "claude-code-ui" # Or using the shorter alias pm2 start cloudcli --name "claude-code-ui" # Start on a custom port pm2 start cloudcli --name "claude-code-ui" -- --port 8080 ``` #### Auto-Start on System Boot To make Claude Code UI start automatically when your system boots: ```bash # Generate startup script for your platform pm2 startup # Save current process list pm2 save ``` ### Local Development Installation 1. **Clone the repository:** ```bash git clone https://github.com/siteboon/claudecodeui.git cd claudecodeui ``` 2. **Install dependencies:** ```bash npm install ``` 3. **Configure environment:** ```bash cp .env.example .env # Edit .env with your preferred settings ``` 4. **Start the application:** ```bash # Development mode (with hot reload) npm run dev ``` The application will start at the port you specified in your .env 5. **Open your browser:** - Development: `http://localhost:3001` ## 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 3. **Enable Selectively** - Turn on only the tools you need 4. **Apply Settings** - Your preferences are saved locally
![Tools Settings Modal](public/screenshots/tools-modal.png) *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. ## TaskMaster AI Integration *(Optional)* Claude Code UI supports **[TaskMaster AI](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master)** (aka claude-task-master) integration for advanced project management and AI-powered task planning. It provides - AI-powered task generation from PRDs (Product Requirements Documents) - Smart task breakdown and dependency management - Visual task boards and progress tracking **Setup & Documentation**: Visit the [TaskMaster AI GitHub repository](https://github.com/eyaltoledano/claude-task-master) for installation instructions, configuration guides, and usage examples. After installing it you should be able to enable it from the Settings ## Usage Guide ### Core Features #### Project Management It automatically discovers Claude Code, Cursor or Codex sessions when available and groups them together into projects session counts - **Project Actions** - Rename, delete, and organize projects - **Smart Navigation** - Quick access to recent projects and sessions - **MCP support** - Add your own MCP servers through the UI #### Chat Interface - **Use responsive chat or Claude Code/Cursor CLI/Codex CLI** - You can either use the adapted chat interface or use the shell button to connect to your selected CLI. - **Real-time Communication** - Stream responses from your selected CLI (Claude Code/Cursor/Codex) with WebSocket connection - **Session Management** - Resume previous conversations or start fresh sessions - **Message History** - Complete conversation history with timestamps and metadata - **Multi-format Support** - Text, code blocks, and file references #### File Explorer & Editor - **Interactive File Tree** - Browse project structure with expand/collapse navigation - **Live File Editing** - Read, modify, and save files directly in the interface - **Syntax Highlighting** - Support for multiple programming languages - **File Operations** - Create, rename, delete files and directories #### Git Explorer #### TaskMaster AI Integration *(Optional)* - **Visual Task Board** - Kanban-style interface for managing development tasks - **PRD Parser** - Create Product Requirements Documents and parse them into structured tasks - **Progress Tracking** - Real-time status updates and completion tracking #### Session Management - **Session Persistence** - All conversations automatically saved - **Session Organization** - Group sessions by project and timestamp - **Session Actions** - Rename, delete, and export conversation history - **Cross-device Sync** - Access sessions from any device ### Mobile App - **Responsive Design** - Optimized for all screen sizes - **Touch-friendly Interface** - Swipe gestures and touch navigation - **Mobile Navigation** - Bottom tab bar for easy thumb navigation - **Adaptive Layout** - Collapsible sidebar and smart content prioritization - **Add shortcut to Home Screen** - Add a shortcut to your home screen and the app will behave like a PWA ## Architecture ### System Overview ``` ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ │ Frontend │ │ Backend │ │ Agent │ │ (React/Vite) │◄──►│ (Express/WS) │◄──►│ Integration │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ ``` ### Backend (Node.js + Express) - **Express Server** - RESTful API with static file serving - **WebSocket Server** - Communication for chats and project refresh - **Agent Integration (Claude Code / Cursor CLI / Codex)** - Process spawning and management - **File System API** - Exposing file browser for projects ### Frontend (React + Vite) - **React 18** - Modern component architecture with hooks - **CodeMirror** - Advanced code editor with syntax highlighting ### Contributing We welcome contributions!
