Keep Claude Code.
Give it your machines.
AI Commander is not an alternative to Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Grok. It is the remote-machine harness those tools plug into over MCP: outbound-only shell, detached jobs that outlive the chat, and file transfer on hardware you already own.

Positioning in one line: your AI stays the brain; AI Commander is the hands on the box —
servers, GPU rigs, NAS, laptops — with no inbound ports and no exposed SSH.
