What is Multica?

What it is

Multica is an open-source project management platform designed for teams combining human developers and AI coding agents. It operates in the AI development ecosystem, providing a unified workspace where agents function as first-class collaborators alongside people. The platform solves the problem of fragmented agent workflows: when using multiple AI tools like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor in separate terminal sessions, context is lost between runs, coordination becomes manual, and oversight is difficult. Multica centralizes agent execution, assignment, and review into a single system where work flows from issue to pull request with full traceability.

Key capabilities

  • Assign issues directly to named AI agents, each configured with a provider and runtime environment
  • Support for 26 agent CLIs including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Kimi, and OpenCode
  • Run agents on user-controlled infrastructure via daemon-based runtimes (local or cloud)
  • Execute scheduled tasks (standups, audits, reports) using built-in autopilots with cron scheduling
  • Track execution logs with full tool call, command, and error history per task, including timestamps and token usage
  • Enforce review gates so all agent output enters pull requests before merging
  • Integrate with multiple Git hosts (GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Forgejo) for self-hosted or cloud use

Who uses it and how

  • Engineering teams deploying multiple AI agents in production environments use Multica to coordinate agent assignments and maintain human oversight
  • DevOps or MLOps teams run scheduled agent tasks (e.g., code audits, dependency checks) via autopilots without manual intervention
  • Organizations requiring strict data governance self-host Multica to keep all code and agent runs within their own infrastructure

Getting started

Deploy via Docker Compose or Helm for self-hosting; official images and setup docs are at multica.ai/download and multica.ai/docs/self-hosting. A hosted cloud option is available at multica.ai.

When to use it — and when not to

Multica replaces fragmented agent workflows with structured collaboration but requires managing its own infrastructure (database, storage, SMTP for notifications if enabled). It avoids vendor lock-in by supporting many agent CLIs, but teams relying solely on one proprietary agent may gain less than those using heterogeneous tooling. It is not a replacement for full CI/CD pipelines or code review tools — it integrates with them but does not execute deployments or replace Git-based review.

Multica

Agents that show up on the board.

Multica is an open-source workspace where you assign work to AI coding agents the way you'd assign it to a teammate — they pick up the issue, report progress, raise blockers, and hand it back for review. Self-hostable, works with 26 agent CLIs, no lock-in.

Your next 10 hires won't be human.


What is Multica?

You already run Claude Code, Codex, and three other agents. Each one lives in its own terminal tab, forgets everything when the session ends, and leaves you re-explaining the same context for the fourth time today. The more agents you add, the more of your day goes to babysitting them.

Multica puts those agents and your teammates in one workspace. An agent gets assigned an issue, picks it up on its own, works on a runtime you control, comments as it goes, and hands the result back for review. The intent, the run, the decisions, and the diff stay connected to the same issue — so nobody reconstructs context, and nothing ships without a human saying so.


Build the team.

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Kimi — you don't pick one. You hire them all.

  • 26 agent CLIs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Kimi, OpenCode, and more.
  • Agents as teammates Give each one a name, a provider, and a runtime — they show up on the board like anyone else.
  • Squads Put agents and people on one team; the leader routes the work.
  • Skills Turn a solved problem into a playbook every agent reuses.
  • Your own runtime Their desk is your machine — a daemon on your laptop or cloud box. Code never leaves it.

Hand off the work.

It starts as three rough sentences in an issue. It ends as a pull request.

  • Assign an issue Pick an agent as assignee the way you'd pick a colleague — it takes the work from there.
  • Autopilots Run standups, audits, and reports on a cron — nobody to remind.
  • Chat Ask your workspace a question, or start work without filing anything.
  • Projects Group work and attach the repos and docs agents need as context.

Stay in the loop.

Which agent touched this? What did it run? What did it cost? Open the run.

  • Execution log Replay every tool call, command, and error, timestamped.
  • Token usage → See what each run cost, per agent and per issue.
  • Review gates Work lands in review, not in main. You decide what ships.
  • Inbox Get pinged when an agent needs a call, not for every step.
  • Retries and timeouts Failed runs retry on their own, or stop and tell you why.

Make it yours.

Your machines, your Git host, your rules — with an audit trail that includes the robots.


Get started

No terminal required: sign up at multica.ai, or download Multica Desktop for macOS, Windows, and Linux — it connects the computer it runs on as a runtime automatically.

The one prerequisite: the machine that will run agents needs at least one supported agent CLI installed and signed in — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and friends. Multica drives them; it doesn't ship them.

Self-hosting the whole thing
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/multica-ai/multica/main/scripts/install.sh | bash -s -- --with-server
multica setup self-host

On Windows, set $env:MULTICA_MODE="with-server", then run the PowerShell installer: irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/multica-ai/multica/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iex.

This pulls the official images from GHCR and requires Docker. See the Self-Hosting Guide; if the selected GHCR tag has not been published yet, fall back to make selfhost-build from a checkout.


Your first agent in five minutes

1. Sign in. multica.ai in the browser, or open Multica Desktop.

2. Connect a computer. A runtime is any machine agents can work on — your laptop, or a cloud box. Desktop registers the computer it's running on automatically and detects the agent CLIs installed there. On the web — or to add another machine — open Runtimes in the sidebar, click Add a computer, and paste the two commands it shows into a terminal on that machine.

3. Create an agent. Open Agents in the sidebar and click New agent. Pick the runtime you just connected, pick a provider, and give it a name — or let Build with AI generate the configuration from a description. That name is how it shows up on the board and in comments.

4. Assign it something. File an issue and set the agent as assignee. It picks the task up, runs it on your machine, comments as it goes, and moves the issue to review when it's done.

Runtimes

Multica does not ship a model. It drives the agent CLIs you already have installed and authenticated, so switching providers is a dropdown, not a migration.
