Introducing ClusterCode: Self-Hosted AI Coding Orchestration

We have been building ClusterCode for the past year with a single conviction: AI coding agents are incredibly powerful, but running them on someone else's infrastructure is a non-starter for serious engineering teams.

Today, the most capable coding agents — Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot — all run locally or in vendor-hosted environments. If you want to run them unattended, you have to disable safety prompts with flags like --dangerously-skip-permissions. And if you want parallelism, you need multiple terminals, multiple machines, or expensive cloud VMs.

ClusterCode changes this. You register your own machines as workers — or spin up managed Cloud workers — and the orchestrator dispatches isolated DevBoxes, one per ticket. Each DevBox gets a cloned repo, scoped environment variables, and the AI agent of your choice. On your own workers, no code leaves your network and no API keys leave your machines.

The result is a system where you can paste a GitHub issue URL into a dashboard, and minutes later receive a pull request — authored by an AI agent running in a disposable, sandboxed DevBox on hardware you own.

ClusterCode ships with three agent engines — Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and GitHub Copilot — each running with your own API key; nothing is bundled. The orchestrator is a Next.js application with a WebSocket backend, and the worker agent is a lightweight Node.js process that connects to your orchestrator instance.

ClusterCode runs on a thin-client model: the worker agent that executes on your hardware is a lightweight, self-contained process, while the orchestrator — its dashboard, DevBox management, and multi-worker coordination — is the commercial product.

We believe this is the right model for developer infrastructure. The parts that touch your code run on hardware you control. The parts that provide convenience and scale are what you pay for.

If you have been looking for a way to run AI coding agents at scale, on your own terms, we built ClusterCode for you.
