Let ChatGPT or Claude edit code on your own computer
Made by jialin
View profile on GitHub (opens in a new tab)WebCodex connects cloud-based AI chat tools like ChatGPT and Claude to a real development environment running on your own machine, so you can ask them to inspect a repository, modify code, run tests, use Git, or investigate a failure without moving your project into a hosted workspace first.
A quick "temporary share" command starts a short-lived, single-project connection for trying it out, while the full setup runs a persistent server and runner for durable access across multiple projects, reachable over a public HTTPS tunnel, Cloudflare Tunnel, or OpenAI's Secure MCP Tunnel.
You could use it to…
- Let ChatGPT or Claude edit code on your own computer
- Ask an assistant to run your tests and read the output
- Share a temporary project connection for a quick trial
Can I use this?
You'll need A Windows or Mac computer, and a ChatGPT or Claude account · Setup needed
Worth knowing This gives a cloud AI service the ability to read, edit and run commands in your real development environment, so the usual risks of letting an assistant execute code apply, and public tunnel options mean thinking about network exposure.
