Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• Python 3.12+
• uv (Python package manager)

Install

npm install -g claude-panel

Or run without installing globally:

npx claude-panel

Usage

claude-panel

By default, Claude Panel tries port 8787. If that port is busy, it automatically selects a free port and prints the URL.

CLI Options

Flag	Description
--port <number>	Use a specific port (fails if busy)
--no-open	Don't open the browser automatically
--help	Show usage information

Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Default
CLAUDE_PANEL_PORT	Override the default port	8787
CLAUDE_PANEL_SCAN_ROOTS	Comma-separated scan roots for CLAUDE.md discovery	Home directory

Troubleshooting

uv not found Install uv: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Python not found Ensure python3 (or python) 3.12+ is installed and on your PATH.

Port already in use Either let Claude Panel auto-select a free port, use --port <number> with a different port, or set CLAUDE_PANEL_PORT to change the default.

First run is slow On first launch, uv creates a Python virtual environment and installs backend dependencies. Subsequent starts are fast.

Local Development

Build frontend assets into the backend static directory:

npm run build:frontend

Run the packaged launcher locally:

npm start

Start both backend and frontend dev servers (hot-reload):

bash scripts/dev.sh

See CONTRIBUTING.md for full development setup and contribution guidelines.

Publishing

The prepack lifecycle script automatically runs npm ci in the frontend directory and builds static assets, so npm publish produces a ready-to-run package.
