Most engineering teams run AI coding agents on individual laptops. Close the lid, lose the session. When a new developer joins, they spend hours recreating the same setup.
CloudCLI gives your team shared cloud environments where AI agents run 24/7. Every developer gets their own isolated container, but the team shares MCP servers, context files, and configurations across all projects. Onboarding takes minutes.
Sessions can be started through a full REST API, so workflows in Linear, Jira, or n8n can trigger background coding agents programmatically. A ticket gets filed, an agent starts coding, the developer reviews the PR in the morning.
The web UI and mobile interface include a file explorer, git explorer, and full shell access. Review PRs on your iPad, make fixes from your phone, then pick up in VS Code over SSH.
Unlike GitHub Codespaces, CloudCLI is purpose-built for agentic development. Claude Code, Cursor CLI, Codex, and Gemini CLI come pre-installed. Sessions survive laptop closure. Teams bring their own API keys with no vendor lock-in.
Built on an open-source core (AGPL-3, 9,000+ GitHub stars). Self-host for data sovereignty or use the managed service from €7/month.
SwapCode AI is a special helper that makes it easy to change one kind of code into another. Imagine if you were playing with blocks, and you wanted to turn a square block into a round one—it does that for code! It helps developers and teams make their code work in new ways without breaking anything.
It works with lots of different types of code, like the ones used to make websites, games, and apps. For example, if you have a puzzle piece that fits in a Java puzzle but needs to fit in a Python puzzle, SwapCode AI knows how to reshape it perfectly! It even makes sure the new piece is easy to read and use.
SwapCode AI is super smart and fits right into your tools, so you can use it while you’re working without any extra steps. It helps teams work together, even if they’re using different tools or languages.
Think of SwapCode AI as your super helper for saving time and fixing tricky problems. It can even show you side-by-side pictures of how the code changes, like a before-and-after picture. It’s great for learning, too—like having a teacher explain what’s happening in simple steps.
You can also make SwapCode AI follow special rules, like making sure all your blocks are the same color or shape. Whether you’re building something new or fixing old things, SwapCode AI makes it all easier and faster!

CloudCLI's answer
CloudCLI is built with a modern JavaScript/TypeScript stack:
The entire codebase is open source under AGPL-3 and available on GitHub.
CloudCLI's answer
Compared to tools like GitHub Codespaces, CloudCLI is purpose-built for agentic development rather than traditional coding. Here's what sets it apart:
CloudCLI's answer
CloudCLI is one of the only cloud development environments built specifically for AI coding agents. Where Codespaces and Gitpod give you a cloud editor, CloudCLI gives your agents a persistent home that stays alive 24/7. What makes it particularly valuable for teams: shared MCP servers and environment configs mean every developer starts from the same baseline. A full REST API means sessions can be triggered from automation tools, not just opened manually. Background agents can run overnight and produce PRs for review in the morning. And the entire platform is open source (AGPL-3) so teams can self-host on their own infrastructure.
CloudCLI's answer
CloudCLI is built for engineering teams that use AI coding agents as part of their daily workflow. This includes teams adopting agentic development practices with tools like Claude Code, Cursor CLI, or Codex who need shared environments where MCP servers, context files, and configurations stay consistent across every developer. It also serves engineering managers looking to integrate AI agents into existing workflows through API-driven automation with tools like Linear, Jira, and n8n. Solo developers and open-source contributors who want persistent remote access from any device are also a core audience, along with organizations that need to self-host for data sovereignty or regulatory compliance.
CloudCLI's answer
CloudCLI started as an open-source project to solve a problem every developer using AI coding agents hits: your agent ties up your terminal and stops working when your laptop sleeps. We built a cloud-native environment where agents run persistently, paired with an open-source web UI so anyone could manage sessions from a browser or phone. As teams started adopting it, the focus shifted to shared environments, where team-wide MCP servers, configurations, and context files could be maintained in one place instead of duplicated across every developer's machine. The project grew to 9,000+ GitHub stars organically with no marketing. Today CloudCLI offers both a free self-hosted option and a managed cloud service starting at €7/month.
