 "title": "Run a Codex session on a project folder in the browser",
 "page_title": "How to run a Codex session on a project folder in the browser with Free Claude Code",
 "summary": "Pick a folder in FCC's browser UI and run Codex there, switching models mid-session.",
 "who": "A developer who wants to start a coding session from a browser tab, not a terminal.",
 "problem": "Setting up a terminal coding agent for every project folder is slow when you only want a quick session.",
 "outcome": "A native Codex session runs against the folder you chose, with real-time and background support.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `curl -fsSL \"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alishahryar1/free-claude-code/main/scripts/install.sh\" | sh` on macOS or Linux, or the PowerShell command from the README on Windows, and choose Codex when prompted.",
  "Start FCC with `fcc-server` on Linux, or open Free Claude Code on Windows or macOS.",
  "Open the Admin UI URL from the server log and configure at least one provider.",
  "Choose a folder and start a Codex session in the browser UI.",
  "Switch providers or models inside the same session when needed."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the repo Alishahryar1/free-claude-code, start FCC, pick the folder <PROJECT_PATH> in the browser UI, and open a native Codex session. Expected output: Codex answers a question about the folder contents. Verify that the answer references files from <PROJECT_PATH>.",
 "agents": [
  "codex"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says switching harnesses inside one session is coming soon, so only provider and model switching works today.",

 ],
 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "A macOS, Linux, or Windows computer with a terminal",
  "An API key from at least one provider in the README catalog, such as NVIDIA NIM",
  "Permission to run the install script from the README"
