Decouple install.sh from environment configuration — install.sh now only installs the CLI binary (and optionally Docker via --with-server), while all environment configuration moves to `multica setup` subcommands. Key changes: - install.sh: remove config writes, rename --local to --with-server - multica setup: add cloud/self-host subcommands with --server-url, --app-url, --port, --frontend-port flags and --profile support - Add config overwrite protection with interactive prompt - Remove redundant commands: `config local`, `auth login` alias - Replace silent multica.ai fallbacks with explicit errors - Onboarding wizard: dynamically show correct setup command for Cloud vs Self-host environments - Update all docs, landing page, and install scripts for consistency

## What is Multica?
|
|
|
|
Multica turns coding agents into real teammates. Assign issues to an agent like you'd assign to a colleague — they'll pick up the work, write code, report blockers, and update statuses autonomously.
|
|
|
|
No more copy-pasting prompts. No more babysitting runs. Your agents show up on the board, participate in conversations, and compound reusable skills over time. Think of it as open-source infrastructure for managed agents — vendor-neutral, self-hosted, and designed for human + AI teams. Works with **Claude Code**, **Codex**, **OpenClaw**, and **OpenCode**.

## Features
|
|
|
|
Multica manages the full agent lifecycle: from task assignment to execution monitoring to skill reuse.
|
|
|
|
- **Agents as Teammates** — assign to an agent like you'd assign to a colleague. They have profiles, show up on the board, post comments, create issues, and report blockers proactively.
|
|
- **Autonomous Execution** — set it and forget it. Full task lifecycle management (enqueue, claim, start, complete/fail) with real-time progress streaming via WebSocket.
|
|
- **Reusable Skills** — every solution becomes a reusable skill for the whole team. Deployments, migrations, code reviews — skills compound your team's capabilities over time.
|
|
- **Unified Runtimes** — one dashboard for all your compute. Local daemons and cloud runtimes, auto-detection of available CLIs, real-time monitoring.
|
|
- **Multi-Workspace** — organize work across teams with workspace-level isolation. Each workspace has its own agents, issues, and settings.

## Quick Install
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/multica-ai/multica/main/scripts/install.sh | bash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Installs the Multica CLI on macOS and Linux. Works with Homebrew or downloads the binary directly.
|
|
|
|
**Windows (PowerShell):**
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/multica-ai/multica/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then configure, authenticate, and start the daemon in one command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
multica setup # Connect to Multica Cloud, log in, start daemon
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> **Self-hosting?** Add `--with-server` to deploy a full Multica server on your machine:
|
|
>
|
|
> ```bash
|
|
> curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/multica-ai/multica/main/scripts/install.sh | bash -s -- --with-server
|
|
> multica setup self-host
|
|
> ```
|
|
>
|
|
> Requires Docker. See the [Self-Hosting Guide](SELF_HOSTING.md) for details.

## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
### 1. Set up and start the daemon
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
multica setup # Configure, authenticate, and start the daemon
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The daemon runs in the background and auto-detects agent CLIs (`claude`, `codex`, `openclaw`, `opencode`) on your PATH.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Verify your runtime
|
|
|
|
Open your workspace in the Multica web app. Navigate to **Settings → Runtimes** — you should see your machine listed as an active **Runtime**.
|
|
|
|
> **What is a Runtime?** A Runtime is a compute environment that can execute agent tasks. It can be your local machine (via the daemon) or a cloud instance. Each runtime reports which agent CLIs are available, so Multica knows where to route work.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Create an agent
|
|
|
|
Go to **Settings → Agents** and click **New Agent**. Pick the runtime you just connected and choose a provider (Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, or OpenCode). Give your agent a name — this is how it will appear on the board, in comments, and in assignments.
|
|
|
|
### 4. Assign your first task
|
|
|
|
Create an issue from the board (or via `multica issue create`), then assign it to your new agent. The agent will automatically pick up the task, execute it on your runtime, and report progress — just like a human teammate.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## CLI
|
|
|
|
The `multica` CLI connects your local machine to Multica — authenticate, manage workspaces, and run the agent daemon.
|
|
|
|
| Command | Description |
|
|
|---------|-------------|
|
|
| `multica login` | Authenticate (opens browser) |
|
|
| `multica daemon start` | Start the local agent runtime |
|
|
| `multica daemon status` | Check daemon status |
|
|
| `multica setup` | One-command setup for Multica Cloud (configure + login + start daemon) |
|
|
| `multica setup self-host` | Same, but for self-hosted deployments |
|
|
| `multica issue list` | List issues in your workspace |
|
|
| `multica issue create` | Create a new issue |
|
|
| `multica update` | Update to the latest version |
|
|
|
|
See the [CLI and Daemon Guide](CLI_AND_DAEMON.md) for the full command reference.

## Development
|
|
|
|
For contributors working on the Multica codebase, see the [Contributing Guide](CONTRIBUTING.md).
|
|
|
|
**Prerequisites:** [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) v20+, [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/) v10.28+, [Go](https://go.dev/) v1.26+, [Docker](https://www.docker.com/)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
make dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`make dev` auto-detects your environment (main checkout or worktree), creates the env file, installs dependencies, sets up the database, runs migrations, and starts all services.
|
|
|
|
See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for the full development workflow, worktree support, testing, and troubleshooting.
