Self-hosted AI coding control plane

Run every coding agent from one place.

Pixcode turns your machine or server into a live workspace for AI coding CLIs. It keeps project workspaces, Monaco editor tabs, terminal panels, Git/local changes, agent automation, Telegram, notifications, MCP, plugins, and API automation in one browser or desktop app.

Why it exists

Coding agents are powerful, but terminals alone do not show enough.

Pixcode adds the missing operating layer around provider-native CLIs: sessions, visible progress, file changes, shell output, source control, automation history, task planning, remote control, and API access.

What Pixcode can do

It is not a landing page wrapper around one chat box. It is a practical workspace for real projects, long-running agent work, and multiple providers.

01

Talk to coding CLIs

Use Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, and OpenCode from the same project screen.

02

See what changed

Track Git changes or local filesystem changes, highlight edited files, and open the changed location from the side rail.

03

Run shell and inspect files

Keep the main chat visible while opening files, shell, source control, and project tools in responsive split panels.

04

Run agent automation

Use NanoClaw for multi-CLI conversations, one-shot runs, and schedules; use the production agent loop for review and CI administration.

05

Automate background work

Keep project-aware task state, bounded events, schedules, and production review records in your own Pixcode instance.

06

Automate externally

Use REST, WebSocket, and `px_` API keys to connect scripts, services, dashboards, CI, or Telegram to the same backend.

07

Work remotely

Run Pixcode on a workstation or server, keep sessions alive, and control them from a browser, desktop app, or Telegram.

08

Customize the tool

Use themes, MCP management, plugin surfaces, provider settings, notifications, and model controls without rebuilding the app.

Agent automation

Keep multi-CLI work explicit and observable.

NanoClaw keeps project context across multi-CLI conversations, one-shot runs, and schedules. The production agent loop adds administrator review, CI repair, checkpoints, and scheduler controls with a durable run history.

NanoClaw runStart a project-aware multi-CLI task with authenticated status and artifacts.
Durable scheduleRun `once`, `interval`, or `cron` tasks without keeping a browser tab open.
Production reviewTrack issue-to-PR plans, CI repair, review queues, and checkpoints.
Bounded eventsStream task progress safely through authenticated API and one-shot stream tickets.
Automation APIs

Let Pixcode coordinate background agent work.

Pixcode keeps the agent control plane inside your instance and exposes authenticated endpoints for multi-CLI runs, durable schedules, streamed output, artifacts, and production review automation.

Built to be useful as an open-source project

The repository includes the project files people expect before they trust, install, contribute to, or recommend a developer tool.

Install it where the work happens

Use npm for a server/local install, or download desktop builds from GitHub Releases. Normal installed usage serves the frontend and backend from port 3001.

npx @pixelbyte-software/pixcode
npm install -g @pixelbyte-software/pixcode
pixcode
pixcode daemon install --mode auto --port 3001
pixcode daemon status --mode auto
