Install & run
The gateway is an npm package. There is nothing to install ahead of time - npx runs it directly.
Requirements
- Node.js ≥ 18.17 (that's the only dependency - the gateway itself has none).
Start it
bash
npx ai-command-center # ◆ AI Command Center v0.1.0 # Dashboard http://localhost:4321
The first run downloads the package and opens the dashboard. That's the whole install.

No traffic yet? Seed a realistic 14-day sample across four projects (safe - it's tagged and removable):
bash
npx ai-command-center demo
# then open http://localhost:4321
npx ai-command-center clear # removes the demo data whenever you wantInstall it globally (optional)
bash
npm install -g ai-command-center ai-command-center # or the short alias: aicc aicc --help
All commands
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
start | Start the gateway + dashboard (default) |
demo | Seed 14 days of sample data (tagged, removable) |
clear | Remove demo data (--all wipes everything) |
stats | Print a usage/cost summary in the terminal |
snippets | Copy-paste integration code for every language |
user | add / list - manage accounts from the CLI |
Common flags
bash
npx ai-command-center --port 5000 # bind a different port npx ai-command-center --host 0.0.0.0 # share on your LAN npx ai-command-center --data-dir ./tel # where telemetry is stored npx ai-command-center --preset example # load a config preset npx ai-command-center --no-auth # disable login + gateway keys npx ai-command-center stats --gateway http://gw-host:4321 # demo/clear/stats: target a running gateway's # API instead of local files
stats and clear always print which store they read (the data dir and its record count, or the live gateway URL). Run them from a different machine or --data-dir than the gateway and they show an empty store and point you at --gateway.
Telemetry defaults to ~/.ai-command-center/ as append-only JSONL. Delete that file (or run aicc clear --all) to reset.
