OpenBase Coder CLI with embedded server

Openbase Coder

Openbase Coder is a local voice-coding runtime for working with AI coding agents from your Mac, browser, and Openbase clients.

The openbase-coder command installs and runs the local services that power Openbase Coder: a Django API, WebSocket endpoints, Codex/Super Agents coordination, local project and diff APIs, LiveKit voice services, plugin management, and the bundled web console.

This repository is the main open-source entrypoint for the Openbase Coder runtime.

What It Provides

• Local API and WebSocket server for coding sessions, diffs, approvals, reports, project metadata, and service status
• Voice-agent runtime built around LiveKit and Codex app-server sessions
• One-command macOS setup for the Openbase workspace, environment file, console build, launchd services, and default agent instructions
• Plugin installation and bootstrap commands for extending the local runtime
• Openbase Cloud login support for authenticated client workflows
• A local web console served by the CLI

Requirements

• macOS for full setup and launchd service management
• Python 3.13+
• Git
• uv for the recommended install/setup flow and local development
• Node package tooling for the bundled console build
• livekit-server on PATH for voice services

Quick Start

Recommended one-line setup with uvx:

uvx --python 3.13 openbase-coder setup

This runs the latest published openbase-coder package in an isolated uv tool environment and starts the normal first-time setup flow.

For a persistent command on your PATH after setup, install with uv tool:

uv tool install --python 3.13 openbase-coder
openbase-coder setup

pipx is also supported when you already manage Python tools that way:

pipx install --python python3.13 openbase-coder

Verify a persistent install:

openbase-coder --version

First-Time Setup

If you already installed the persistent openbase-coder command, run:

openbase-coder setup

Setup clones the public Openbase Coder workspace into ~/.openbase/workspace, syncs the runtime install set, generates ~/.openbase/.env if needed, builds the web console, installs launchd services, and prepares the local Codex home used by voice sessions.

After setup, check the local runtime:

uvx --python 3.13 openbase-coder doctor
uvx --python 3.13 openbase-coder services status

Run The Server

For foreground development:

uvx --python 3.13 openbase-coder server --host 0.0.0.0 --port 7999

For normal macOS background operation:

uvx --python 3.13 openbase-coder services start
uvx --python 3.13 openbase-coder services status

Common Commands

uvx --python 3.13 openbase-coder setup
uvx --python 3.13 openbase-coder doctor
uvx --python 3.13 openbase-coder login
uvx --python 3.13 openbase-coder services status
uvx --python 3.13 openbase-coder services logs django-cli
uvx --python 3.13 openbase-coder plugins list
uvx --python 3.13 openbase-coder bootstrap --help

If you installed with uv tool, omit uvx --python 3.13 from those commands.

Development

From this repository:

uv sync --extra dev
uv run openbase-coder --version
uv run pytest

The CLI is part of the larger Openbase Coder multi-workspace. The public setup flow only syncs the runtime install set required by end users.
