Ai Multi Instance

AI Multi-Instance

**Version:** 1.13.3

Local dashboard for running Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor Agent, custom commands, and shell sessions in parallel. Every instance is a real tmux-backed terminal, so it survives browser and dashboard restarts. Works well from a phone browser too, with its own password-protected home, terminal, and settings screens.

Installation (clean machine)

The setup script installs dashboard dependencies and detects supported AI CLIs. It does not install or authenticate any provider; when Cursor Agent is present, it adds a local statusline wrapper so its live session metrics can appear in the dashboard.

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/icarloscornejo/claude-multi-instance/main/setup.sh || curl -fsSL -H 'Accept: application/vnd.github.raw' https://api.github.com/repos/icarloscornejo/claude-multi-instance/contents/setup.sh || curl -fsSL https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/icarloscornejo/claude-multi-instance@main/setup.sh)"

The command tries sources in order: `raw.githubusercontent.com`, the GitHub API (different host, always fresh), and the jsDelivr mirror (CDN, may cache up to 12 hours). This survives the 429 rate-limit error typical on corporate networks with a shared IP.

If the repo is already cloned, the one-liner is not needed: `bash ~/claude-multi-instance/setup.sh` does the same thing and self-updates.

The script does not touch Claude Code authentication: the dashboard inherits the shell environment as-is (Vertex AI included). At the end it prints a checklist of what remains to be done manually.

Usage

cd ~/claude-multi-instance
npm run dev

Open (`http://localhost` also works). Existing installations may continue using .

1. Initial setup (once, or from the Settings button): add the folder paths where terminals will open. You can open multiple instances in the same folder at once; there is no per-folder limit.
2. New instance (
