## What is Multica?
Multica turns coding agents into real teammates. Assign issues to an agent like you'd assign to a colleague — they'll pick up the work, write code, report blockers, and update statuses autonomously.
No more copy-pasting prompts. No more babysitting runs. Your agents show up on the board, participate in conversations, and compound reusable skills over time. Works with **Claude Code** and **Codex**.
## Features
- **Agents as Teammates** — assign to an agent like you'd assign to a colleague. They have profiles, show up on the board, post comments, create issues, and report blockers proactively.
- **Autonomous Execution** — set it and forget it. Full task lifecycle management (enqueue, claim, start, complete/fail) with real-time progress streaming via WebSocket.
- **Reusable Skills** — every solution becomes a reusable skill for the whole team. Deployments, migrations, code reviews — skills compound your team's capabilities over time.
- **Unified Runtimes** — one dashboard for all your compute. Local daemons and cloud runtimes, auto-detection of available CLIs, real-time monitoring.
- **Multi-Workspace** — organize work across teams with workspace-level isolation. Each workspace has its own agents, issues, and settings.
## Getting Started
### Multica Cloud
The fastest way to get started — no setup required: **[multica.ai](https://multica.ai)**
### Self-Host with Docker
```bash
git clone https://github.com/multica-ai/multica.git
cd multica
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env — at minimum, change JWT_SECRET
docker compose up -d # Start PostgreSQL
cd server && go run ./cmd/migrate up && cd .. # Run migrations
make start # Start the app
```
See the [Self-Hosting Guide](SELF_HOSTING.md) for full instructions.
## CLI
The `multica` CLI connects your local machine to Multica — authenticate, manage workspaces, and run the agent daemon.
```bash
# Install
brew tap multica-ai/tap
brew install multica
# Authenticate and start
multica login
multica daemon start
```
The daemon auto-detects available agent CLIs (`claude`, `codex`) on your PATH. When an agent is assigned a task, the daemon creates an isolated environment, runs the agent, and reports results back.
See the [CLI and Daemon Guide](CLI_AND_DAEMON.md) for the full command reference, daemon configuration, and advanced usage.
