Credentials. Browser import can bring cookies and sessions from your browsers into Cmux panes; import only what the agent needs.
Who it is forA developer whose code and dev server live on a remote Linux machine or GPU box.
The problemRemote agents lose the local conveniences: browser previews of localhost, notifications and image drops.
The outcomeA remote workspace with an initial agent command, browser panes routed through the remote network and drag and drop uploads.
What you need first
- macOS
- Homebrew or the DMG installer
- Optional: your existing Ghostty config for themes and fonts
Steps
- Install Cmux locally
- Run
cmux ssh user@remoteto create a workspace for the remote machine - Pass --command to run an initial agent command once in the first remote terminal
- Open a browser pane; localhost on the remote just works
- Drag images into the session to upload them via scp
Prompt for your agent
Using manaflow-ai/cmux, create an SSH workspace on <host>, start my coding agent there on <task>, open a browser pane on the remote dev server at localhost:<port>, and report when the agent needs input.
Caveat.
