Start Kanshi Dashboard

Start the Kanshi observability dashboard server and open it in the browser.

Steps

  1. Check if the server is already running by testing curl -sf http://localhost:3838/ > /dev/null 2>&1

  2. If the server is NOT running:

    • cd to the kanshi server directory: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/server
    • Check if node_modules exists; if not, run pnpm install
    • Start the server as a background task using run_in_background: true: npx tsx src/index.ts
    • Note the task ID returned by the background task
    • Wait 2 seconds for the server to start
  3. Open the dashboard in the browser: xdg-open http://localhost:3838

  4. Tell the user:

    • Dashboard is running at http://localhost:3838
    • All tool events from this session will appear in real-time
    • The dashboard is running as a background task

Stopping the dashboard

If the user asks to stop the dashboard, use the TaskStop tool with the task ID from the background task to terminate it.
