Pi Outpost
Self-hosted Web UI for Pi Coding Agent, sandboxed by default
A self-hosted web interface for the Pi Coding Agent, with project-scoped file access and an operating-system sandbox for its shell from the first run. If confinement cannot be verified, commands are refused — never silently run outside the sandbox.
Everything you need to work with Pi
Pi Outpost keeps the Pi Coding Agent close to its native workflow while making it accessible from a browser, a desktop app, or another web application.
Tool cards
Follow tool calls and their results directly in the conversation.
Files & editor
Browse, search, compare, and edit workspace files; preview Markdown, HTML, and documents in place.
Git integration
Work with repositories and inspect Git changes alongside your agent.
Multiple projects
Keep several projects open, each with its own history, sandbox, and agent.
Sandboxed by default
Project-scoped file access and a confined agent shell from the start. If the sandbox cannot be verified, commands are refused instead of running unconfined.
Documents
Read PDF and Office files, review Word changes, and create or update Word and PowerPoint documents from templates.
Rich diagrams
Render and edit Mermaid, draw.io, and structured diagrams in conversations and workspace files.
Desktop app
Install Pi Outpost as a desktop application when you want a dedicated window.
Embeddable
Embed the interface as a Shadow-DOM-isolated widget inside another web app.
Self-hosted
Keep the agent and files on your machine. Extensions and MCP servers are outside this sandbox, so review what you install.
Remote development
Work against a remote machine over HTTPS or an SSH tunnel, with the agent and workspace staying there.
Install
With Node.js 24 or later, start it with npx. Prefer a download with no Node.js setup? Releases also include a standalone executable for each supported platform.
$ npx --allow-scripts=node-pty,koffi pi-outpost
One process, multiple ways to use it
Pi Outpost runs the agent and serves its interface from a single Node process. Use the same setup locally, on a server, or as part of another application.
Run it directly
Start Pi Outpost on your workstation or server and access Pi Coding Agent from any supported browser.
Embed it
Use the isolated widget when you want Pi's interface inside another web application without coupling its styles to the host page.
Run it remotely
Keep Pi, your files, tools, and sandbox on a remote VM or server while accessing the interface from your local workstation over HTTPS or SSH. See remote setup.
