CloudCLI provides persistent cloud development environments purpose-built for AI coding agents, enabling developers to start sessions on one device and continue them from a phone, browser, VS Code, or SSH. The platform supports multiple agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex with bring-your-own-key flexibility, and each project runs in an isolated container with agents pre-installed. It is open source with 13,000 GitHub stars and offers self-hosting options.

Problem
AI coding agents require persistent environments with a repo, shell, files, and terminal state that survive device changes and long-running work. Traditional local setups break when laptops sleep or connections drop, forcing developers to manually recreate workspaces and losing agent session continuity. SSH tunnels, tmux hacks, and VPN configs add friction without solving the underlying reliability problem.
Solution
CloudCLI provides persistent, containerized cloud development environments where AI coding agents run continuously and remain accessible from any device. Each project gets its own isolated container with the workspace, shell, files, Git state, and agent session that stays available when reconnecting. The platform supports Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode with bring-your-own-key flexibility, eliminating vendor lock-in. Developers can start a session from their phone, browser, or API, then continue the same session in VS Code or over SSH with all files and changes intact. The environment includes a file explorer, Git integration, chat interface, and MCP server support, with agents pre-installed and ready to use.
Target Audience
Primary users are individual developers and engineering teams who use AI coding agents and need persistent, cross-device development environments that maintain session state and workspace continuity.
