* feat(cursor): add support for Cursor Agent CLI integration - Introduced new command `hapi cursor` to start Cursor Agent sessions. - Added functionality for resuming sessions and managing permission modes. - Updated documentation to include Cursor Agent usage and installation instructions. - Enhanced existing codebase to accommodate Cursor as a recognized agent flavor. - Implemented local and remote session handling for Cursor Agent. This update expands HAPI's capabilities by integrating support for the Cursor Agent, allowing users to leverage its features alongside existing agents. * Remove TODO.md file as it is no longer needed following the integration of Cursor Agent CLI support. This cleanup helps streamline project documentation and reflects the completion of the associated tasks. * feat(cursor): implement remote mode and fix --hapi-starting-mode - Consume --hapi-starting-mode in cursor command (do not forward to agent) - Implement cursorRemoteLauncher: spawn agent -p with stream-json, --trust - Add cursorEventConverter for NDJSON parsing (system/assistant/tool_call/result) - Multi-turn via --resume session_id - Update docs: cursor supports both local and remote modes Made-with: Cursor * fix: type error * fix(cursor): address PR review - model UI, sessionId metadata, duplicate flags - HappyComposer: use isClaudeFlavor for model mode (cursor has no model modes) - cursorLocalLauncher: call onSessionFound for resume so cursorSessionId in metadata - cursorCommand: do not forward parsed flags to cursorArgs (avoid duplicates) Made-with: Cursor

FAQ
General
What is HAPI?
HAPI is a local-first, self-hosted platform for running and controlling AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode) remotely. It lets you start coding sessions on your computer and monitor/control them from your phone.
What does HAPI stand for?
HAPI (哈皮) is a Chinese transliteration of "Happy", reflecting the project's goal of making AI coding assistance a happier experience by freeing you from the terminal.
Is HAPI free?
Yes, HAPI is open source and free to use under the AGPL-3.0-only license.
What AI agents does HAPI support?
- Claude Code (recommended)
- OpenAI Codex
- Cursor Agent
- Google Gemini
- OpenCode
Setup & Installation
Do I need a hub?
HAPI includes an embedded hub. Just run hapi hub on your machine - no external hub required.
hapi server remains supported as an alias.
How do I access HAPI from my phone?
For local network access:
http://<your-computer-ip>:3006
For internet access:
- If the hub has a public IP, access it directly (use HTTPS via reverse proxy for production)
- If behind NAT, set up a tunnel (Cloudflare Tunnel, Tailscale, or ngrok)
What's the access token for?
The CLI_API_TOKEN is a shared secret that authenticates:
- CLI connections to the hub
- Web app logins
- Telegram account binding
It's auto-generated on first hub start and saved to ~/.hapi/settings.json.
Do you support multiple accounts?
Yes. We support lightweight multi-account access via namespaces for shared team hubs. See Namespace (Advanced).
Can I use HAPI without Telegram?
Yes. Telegram is optional. You can use the web app directly in any browser or install it as a PWA.
Usage
How do I approve permissions remotely?
- When your AI agent requests permission (e.g., to edit a file), you'll see a notification
- Open HAPI on your phone
- Navigate to the active session
- Approve or deny the pending permission
How do I receive notifications?
HAPI supports two methods:
- PWA Push Notifications - Enable when prompted, works even when app is closed
- Telegram Bot - See Telegram Setup
Can I start sessions remotely?
Yes, with runner mode:
- Run
hapi runner starton your computer - Your machine appears in the "Machines" list in the web app
- Tap to spawn new sessions from anywhere
How do I see what files were changed?
In the session view, tap the "Files" tab to:
- Browse project files
- View git status
- See diffs of changed files
Can I send messages to the AI from my phone?
Yes. Open any session and use the chat interface to send messages directly to the AI agent.
Can I access a terminal remotely?
Yes. Open a session in the web app and tap the Terminal tab for a remote shell.
How do I use voice control?
Set ELEVENLABS_API_KEY, open a session in the web app, and click the microphone button. See Voice Assistant.
Security
Is my data safe?
Yes. HAPI is local-first:
- All data stays on your machine
- Nothing is uploaded to external servers
- The database is stored locally in
~/.hapi/
How secure is the token authentication?
The auto-generated token is 256-bit (cryptographically secure). For external access, always use HTTPS via a tunnel.
Can others access my HAPI instance?
Only if they have your access token. For additional security:
- Use a strong, unique token
- Always use HTTPS for external access
- Consider Tailscale for private networking
Troubleshooting
"Connection refused" error
- Ensure hub is running:
hapi hub - Check firewall allows port 3006
- Verify
HAPI_API_URLis correct
"Invalid token" error
- Re-run
hapi auth login - Check token matches in CLI and hub
- Verify
~/.hapi/settings.jsonhas correctcliApiToken
Runner won't start
# Check status
hapi runner status
# Clear stale lock file
rm ~/.hapi/runner.state.json.lock
# Check logs
hapi runner logs
Claude Code not found
Install Claude Code or set custom path:
npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
# or
export HAPI_CLAUDE_PATH=/path/to/claude
Cursor Agent not found
Install Cursor Agent CLI:
# macOS/Linux
curl https://cursor.com/install -fsS | bash
# Windows (PowerShell)
irm 'https://cursor.com/install?win32=true' | iex
Ensure agent is on your PATH.
How do I run diagnostics?
hapi doctor
This checks hub connectivity, token validity, agent availability, and more.
