# Multica AI-native project management — like Linear, but with AI agents as first-class team members. Multica lets you manage tasks and collaborate with AI agents the same way you work with human teammates. Agents can be assigned issues, post comments, update statuses, and execute work autonomously on your local machine. ## Features - **AI agents as teammates** — assign issues to agents, mention them in comments, and let them do the work - **Local agent runtime** — agents run on your machine using Claude Code or Codex, with full access to your codebase - **Real-time collaboration** — WebSocket-powered live updates across the board - **Multi-workspace** — organize work across teams with workspace-level isolation - **Familiar UX** — if you've used Linear, you'll feel right at home ## Getting Started ### Use Multica Cloud The fastest way to get started: [multica.ai](https://multica.ai) ### Self-Host Run Multica on your own infrastructure. See the [Self-Hosting Guide](SELF_HOSTING.md) for full instructions. Quick start 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 # Start PostgreSQL docker compose up -d # Build and run the backend cd server && go run ./cmd/migrate up && cd .. make start ``` ## 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. ## Architecture ``` ┌──────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ ┌──────────────────┐ │ Next.js │────>│ Go Backend │────>│ PostgreSQL │ │ Frontend │<────│ (Chi + WS) │<────│ (pgvector) │ └──────────────┘ └──────┬───────┘ └──────────────────┘ │ ┌──────┴───────┐ │ Agent Daemon │ (runs on your machine) │ Claude/Codex │ └──────────────┘ ``` - **Frontend**: Next.js 16 (App Router) - **Backend**: Go (Chi router, sqlc, gorilla/websocket) - **Database**: PostgreSQL 17 with pgvector - **Agent Runtime**: Local daemon executing Claude Code or Codex ## Development For contributors working on the Multica codebase, see the [Contributing Guide](CONTRIBUTING.md). ### Prerequisites - [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (v20+) - [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/) (v10.28+) - [Go](https://go.dev/) (v1.26+) - [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) ### Quick Start ```bash pnpm install cp .env.example .env make setup make start ``` See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for the full development workflow, worktree support, testing, and troubleshooting. ## License See [LICENSE](LICENSE) for details.
