Tools around the workspace

Use server terminals, databases, browser tools, prompts, and integrations alongside agent work.

Server terminals

Terminal tabs run on the server, in the selected working directory. You can detach the client and reconnect to the same live terminal while the server keeps running. Closing a terminal or stopping the server ends that terminal process.

Good to know · Koyd bounds retained terminal output and the number of open terminals. Close unneeded tabs before opening more, and close terminals before a server update restarts the instance.

Databases and SQL

Configure the database connection your project needs, browse its schema, and run queries from the database tools. Connections and queries originate on the server, so its network access and credentials determine what is reachable.

Good to know · Review SQL before executing writes against important data. A connected database is a real external system, not a disposable copy.

Headless browser

Koyd Server provides a headless Chromium browser with interactive streamed previews. Inspect pages, navigate, and share relevant page context with the agent. The browser runs beside the server, so localhost in that browser refers to the server machine.

Command

koyd browser-install

Run browser-install on the server when Chromium is missing. Browser sessions require their own runtime resources; close them before an update restart.

Optional computer use

Computer use operates the server’s desktop when a compatible desktop session is available. A headless VPS without a desktop can still run agent tools, terminals, Git, database access, and the headless browser. It cannot provide a desktop that does not exist.

Reusable prompts and resources

Keep prompt templates, skills, agents, modes, and MCP configurations in the Lab. Reuse them to make tasks consistent and keep the instructions close to the work.

Settings belong to an instance

Provider connections, enabled models, swarm resources, and theme settings apply to the selected instance. Device connection credentials and presentation preferences are kept in the client. Koyd Dark is the default appearance.
