Remote App Server

Open Interpreter's public launcher starts a local app-server-backed runtime for the TUI. Advanced integrations can connect a TUI client to a remote app-server WebSocket endpoint.

interpreter --remote ws://127.0.0.1:9000

If the endpoint requires a bearer token, store it in an environment variable:

export INTERPRETER_REMOTE_TOKEN=...
interpreter --remote wss://agent.example.com \
  --remote-auth-token-env INTERPRETER_REMOTE_TOKEN

Tokens are intended for secure transports. For plain ws://, use localhost or another explicitly trusted local endpoint.

Remote mode is an advanced integration surface. Most users should run interpreter normally; the TUI starts an embedded local runtime and does not require a daemon. If you explicitly start the optional shared daemon, the TUI can reuse its Unix socket when the launch settings are compatible. See Daemon.
