Alex Code

Alex Code is a standalone AI service for managing any server via SSH, SFTP, or FTP. Unlike Alex (which is available in the customer panel), you can use Alex Code anywhere — in the terminal, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, or VS Code.

How Alex Code Works

Alex Code connects to your server using SSH/SFTP/FTP and allows you to:

  • Execute commands — software installation, configuration, management
  • Manage files — edit configurations, upload, download
  • Diagnose problems — logs, system info, debugging
  • Automate tasks — batch operations, scripts

Getting Started with Alex Code

Step 1 — Get an API Key

  1. Log in to the customer panel at coresynth.io 
  2. Go to account settings
  3. Generate a new API key
  4. Save it — it will be shown only once

Step 2 — Set Up Connection

Your client (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) needs:

# Configuration example ALEX_CODE_API_KEY=your-api-key-here ALEX_CODE_ENDPOINT=https://api.coresynth.io/v1

Step 3 — Connect to Server

# Example connection via Alex Code CLI alex-code connect --host your-server-ip --user root --protocol ssh

Usage in IDE

Claude Code

# Set API key export ALEX_CODE_API_KEY="your-key-here" # Start Claude Code with Alex Code claude-code

Cursor

  1. Open Settings
  2. Search for “Alex Code” or “External AI”
  3. Enter API endpoint and key
  4. Activate Alex Code as provider

VS Code

{ "alexCode.apiKey": "your-api-key", "alexCode.endpoint": "https://api.coresynth.io/v1" }
