Practical overview
When it fits
Use Claxedo when a coding-agent workflow needs more than a chat interface: project access, terminal execution, remote workspace routing, sandbox management or MCP tools. It is also relevant when a developer wants reusable TypeScript packages rather than only a finished desktop interface.
Who it is for
- Developers operating coding agents against their own projects.
- Teams building customized coding-agent products with TypeScript.
- Users needing chat, terminal, remote workspace and sandbox capabilities in one coding workflow.
Documented uses
- Run supported coding agents against local projects.
- Combine agent chat with terminal sessions, files, processes and diffs.
- Connect to remote workspaces through relay infrastructure.
- Manage sandbox lifecycles through pluggable drivers.
- Expose Claxedo documents, processes, logs, sessions and browser tools through MCP.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public, open source and MIT-licensed. Its README documents a desktop app, independently installable npm packages, and local, cloud and hybrid server components.
- Choose the desktop app when a ready workspace shell is the priority; choose the published packages when building a customized product.
- The architecture supports local, cloud and hybrid sessions through separate server and relay components.
- MCP is a first-party capability, with a package covering documents, processes, logs, sessions and browser tools.
- Sandbox management is designed around pluggable drivers, including Modal, Vercel Sandbox, Cloudflare, Box and Docker.
- Supported agent examples include OpenCode, Claude, Codex, Cursor and Pi.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up the Claxedo desktop workspace
Install the repository and start the desktop development app.
Before you start
- A local environment with Git and Bun available.
- The Claxedo GitHub repository.
Steps
Clone the Claxedo repository.
Change into the repository directory.
Run bun install.
Run bun run dev to start the desktop app in its Electron shell.
Expected outcome
The repository's desktop app development process is started.
Guide limitations
- These documented steps cover installation and starting the desktop app; they do not establish successful execution on a particular machine or configuration.
Add Claxedo runtime packages to a Node or Bun project
Install the published workspace runtime and agent runtime contract packages.
Before you start
- A Node or Bun project with npm package installation available.
Steps
Install @claxedo/workspace-runtime and @claxedo/agent-runtime-contract with npm.
Use @claxedo/workspace-runtime as the starting package for a full product, according to the repository README.
Expected outcome
The two Claxedo runtime packages are added to the project.
Guide limitations
- The cited instructions identify package installation and the recommended starting package, but do not document a complete custom integration or run procedure.

| Project | Documented purpose | Platform | Access and requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Claxedo | Run supported coding agents against local projects. | Cloud, Desktop, Self-hosted, Server | The repository is public, open source and MIT-licensed. Its README documents a desktop app, independently installable npm packages, and local, cloud and hybrid server components. |
| Spectra | Clarify requirements and compare approaches before proposing a change. | CLI, Desktop | The README lists a macOS and Windows desktop app, and a Homebrew installation for macOS. The CLI is published through npm and requires Node.js 22.14 or newer. |
| Skills — michaelshimeles | Install reusable task-specific skills into a coding-agent setup. | CLI | The repository README provides an npx installation command for most coding agents and describes automatic or explicit skill invocation in Claude Code. |
