TL;DR

TL;DR: CloudForge is a browser-based remote AI coding platform that lets you run Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and similar tools from any device — phone, tablet, or desktop — using a web terminal backed by your own server.

What Is CloudForge?

CloudForge is a remote AI coding platform that lets you access AI coding sessions from any device. Instead of being tied to your local machine, you connect a server (your own VPS or a managed instance) and access it through a web-based terminal. Your code stays on your infrastructure; CloudForge just provides the access layer.

The platform supports multiple AI coding tools including Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Aider, and Cline. Sessions can be picked up from any device with a browser.

Setup Workflow

Step 1: Create a Free Account

Sign up at cloud-forge.me. The free tier includes 1 BYOS (Bring Your Own Server) server and 1 terminal session.

Step 2: Connect Your Server

Install the CloudForge agent on any Linux server with a single command:

npx cloudforge-agent --token YOUR_TOKEN

The agent handles the connection between your server and CloudForge’s web interface. Your code never leaves your server.

Step 3: Access from Any Device

Open cloud-forge.me on any device. The web terminal uses xterm.js and is mobile-responsive. Sign in with your account and your terminal session is ready.

Step 4: Run Your AI Coding Tool

Once connected, run Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, or any supported tool directly in the browser session:

Sessions persist on paid plans — disconnect and reconnect without losing your work.
