CLI Dashboard

Local control plane on this device — open it with transcodes

⚡ 3 min read

The CLI dashboard is a small site that runs only on your machine. After you install the CLI, type transcodes in a terminal (no extra arguments). The browser opens the dashboard.

Default URL: http://127.0.0.1:3847. It binds to localhost only.

This is not Console  and not Transcodes Auth. Console is the cloud project editor. The CLI dashboard is the local app for tokens, Persona, and permission checks on this device.


Open it

# After install — opens the dashboard in the background transcodes
CommandWhat it does
transcodesStart the dashboard and open the browser (default port 3847)
transcodes --no-openStart it without opening a browser
transcodes --port 4000Use another port if 3847 is busy
transcodes stopStop the background dashboard

transcodes install already opens the dashboard at the end of guided setup. Later sessions: just run transcodes again.


Install first

If transcodes is not on your PATH yet:

# macOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/transcodings/transcodes-guard/prod/cli/install.sh | bash && transcodes install
# Windows (PowerShell) Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/transcodings/transcodes-guard/prod/cli/install.ps1 | iex; transcodes install

What you do there

Tab / areaUse it for
TokensPaste a MAT from Console. Saved to {{HOME_DIR}}/.transcodes/config.json — hooks and MCP read it automatically.
PersonaCreate, edit, apply, and sync Instruction / Rules / Skills. See Overview.
PermissionTurn permission checks on. They default to off; when off, hooks skip backend evaluation.

Sign in from the dashboard (or transcodes login) so the active member credential is stored on this device.
