As developers adopt local AI tools, running a single instance of Claude Code often isn't enough. That's where Claudemux comes in. It's a powerful tool that allows you to orchestrate multiple Claude Code instances seamlessly.
Why Run Multiple Instances?
When dealing with complex codebases or handling long-running background tasks, a single agent can become a bottleneck. By using Claudemux, you can parallelize tasks, dedicating one instance to debugging and another to generating tests.
Need to optimize your AI workflow?
Let's build a reliable local AI infrastructure for your team.
Setting Up Claudemux
Installing Claudemux is straightforward. Once installed, you can configure your instances via a simple YAML file. This allows you to define distinct roles, API keys (if needed), and model parameters for each instance.
npm install -g claudemux

One of the biggest challenges with multiple agents is state management. Claudemux solves this by offering a shared context memory that all instances can read from, ensuring your agents don't step on each other's toes.
Conclusion
Claudemux is an essential tool for anyone pushing the limits of local AI development. It brings order to the chaos of managing multiple agents.
