Make existing Codex and Claude Code sessions multiplayer

In plain words
mpai is an open-source terminal tool that enables multiple users to share and collaborate within active Codex and Claude Code sessions. Teammates can join an explicitly shared session from another Mac, arriving with full context and ability to prompt with their name attached. Designed for developers working together on AI coding tasks, mpai keeps sessions private via Tailscale while maintaining host control, requiring only a one-time installation and a simple paste to invite collaborators.

Open-source terminal multiplayer for Codex and Claude Code. Join a teammate's explicitly shared native session from another Mac, arrive with the real context, and prompt with your name attached. Tailscale stays private; the host Mac stays in control.
Open your teammate
Remote control lets you continue your own AI work. mpai lets a named teammate enter the exact Codex or Claude Code conversation already in motion—without changing tools. One host install. One teammate paste. Trace the invite boundary before we cut the alpha. I want direct session IDs to fail closed. I found the access check shared by list, transcript, presence, audit, and prompt routes. The direct-read test is the one missing assertion. + assert.equal(directRead.status, 404) + assert.equal(prompt.status, 404) A Alex via mpai 10:44 Add the test, then run only the server suite. Don’t broaden the sharing default. Product demo One terminal command opens a teammate’s explicitly shared native…from godfaddaai.github.io

Multiplayer2025 · multiplayer.app · ▲124We built Multiplayer because we kept running into the same problem: coding agents connected to existing observability stacks inherit all the limitations those stacks were built with. Sampled traces, aggregated metrics, context that stops at service boundaries, missing request/response content from deep within the system. The PRs they produce look plausible and fail in production (i.e. “PR slop”). Multiplayer runs locally alongside Claude Code (Codex, Copilot, and Cursor coming soon) and captures full-stack, unsampled session data across your entire system. We collect everything from…

TermlyNov 2025 · termly.dev · ▲82Hey HN! I'm one of the developers of Termly. Problem: I love using Claude Code for development, but being chained to my laptop all day wasn't working. SSH + terminal emulators felt clunky for interactive AI coding sessions. Solution: Built a WebSocket relay that mirrors your AI coding session to mobile with zero-knowledge E2E encryption. How it works: 1. npm install -g @termly-dev/cli 2. termly start (wraps your AI tool) 3. Scan QR code with mobile app 4. Your session syncs in real-time, encrypted end-to-end Tech stack: • Open source CLI (MIT licensed) - inspect the code yourself •…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
