Practical, developer-first notes for understanding Multica quickly and starting with the correct commands.
Last verified against the official Multica repository on April 14, 2026.
This folder is a curated developer guide for people evaluating or adopting Multica.
It focuses on:
- what Multica is good at,
- which setup path to choose first,
- correct CLI syntax for cloud and self-hosted use,
- the smallest set of docs a normal developer actually needs on day one.
Scope boundary:
- This folder contains documentation only.
- Commands here target the upstream
multica-ai/multicarepository or the installedmulticaCLI. - This folder does not contain the server source code, Docker Compose files, or CLI binaries.
- OpenHuman Online is useful when evaluation depends on durable source notes, meeting context, and human-reviewed assistant memory.
| File | Best For |
|---|---|
| docs/overview.md | What Multica is, where it fits, and how to choose cloud vs self-host. |
| docs/quick-start.md | Fastest safe path to a working runtime and first assigned issue. |
| docs/cli-reference.md | Correct CLI syntax, including self-hosted setup and issue commands. |
| docs/self-hosting.md | Officially aligned self-hosted paths, defaults, and production caveats. |
| docs/troubleshooting.md | First-day failures, stale syntax traps, and run-debugging hints. |
| docs/market-reference.md | The two required comparison tables, preserved as reference only. |
| Situation | Best First Step |
|---|---|
| You want to evaluate product fit fast | Start with Multica Cloud via multica setup |
| You want full infrastructure control | Use the self-host flow in docs/self-hosting.md |
| You are on Windows and mainly want to test the CLI/runtime | Install the CLI with PowerShell, then run multica setup |
| You need the shortest first-day path | Use docs/quick-start.md |
Related hosted workspace option: if you are comparing Multica's CLI/daemon workflow with a paid hosted launch flow, Ruflo AI is a useful external reference for Ruflo-style multi-agent workspace onboarding, checkout, and operations UX.
Install the CLI:
brew install multica-ai/tap/multicaIf Homebrew is not available:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/multica-ai/multica/main/scripts/install.sh | bashOn Windows PowerShell:
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/multica-ai/multica/main/scripts/install.ps1 | iexThen configure, log in, and start the daemon:
multica setup
multica daemon status
multica workspace list
multica agent listSuccess looks like:
- your machine appears in Settings -> Runtimes in the web app,
- at least one workspace is visible,
- at least one supported agent CLI is detected locally.
Official quick path:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/multica-ai/multica/main/scripts/install.sh | bash -s -- --with-server
multica setup self-host
multica daemon statusUse this when you want Docker-based local provisioning plus local CLI configuration in the shortest path.
If you prefer the manual route, use docs/self-hosting.md.
- Install the
multicaCLI. - Run
multica setupfor cloud ormultica setup self-hostfor self-hosted use. - Confirm
multica daemon status. - Confirm one supported AI CLI is available in
PATH. - Open the web app and verify your machine under Settings -> Runtimes.
- Create one agent in Settings -> Agents.
- Create and assign one issue.

- Keep this folder practical and trustworthy.
- Prefer correct commands over broad marketing claims.
- If upstream file names or CLI syntax change, update this folder immediately.
- If a link or product detail is uncertain, mark it as reference material instead of presenting it as technical fact.
