piRun Pi coding agent on a canvas.
Pi has no MCP by design, and Starkomand leaves it that way: canvas tools arrive as one shell command, so Pi can still draw diagrams and open previews beside its window.

What Pi gets on the canvas.
How Starkomand launches Pi and what it can show you about each window.
| Launches as | pi |
|---|---|
| Canvas tools | The starkomand-canvas command, through Pi’s bash tool |
| Canvas instructions | --append-system-prompt with a policy file |
| Window’s back | Request and turn state onlyThe CLI does not report tool steps to Starkomand. |
| Usage | No usage ring |
| Expired sign-in | Restart other windows with ⟳ after signing in |
Same for every agent. A real terminal signed in as you, diagrams and browser previews beside the window, issue notes you drop onto it, handoffs with a brief to any other agent, a spoken “done” when a turn ends, and persistent windows through Herdr.

Questions.
Can I run multiple Pi sessions at once?
Yes. Each window runs its own pi in a real terminal, so open as many as your plan allows, side by side or in separate workspaces, next to any other agent.
Does Starkomand change my Pi configuration?
No. The policy file lives in Starkomand’s own state folder and the command is on the window’s PATH.
Do I need an API key for Pi?
Starkomand never asks for one. Run pi, then use /login or set a provider API key. Your plan and usage stay with the provider; Starkomand does not resell tokens.
Next to Pi.
Run any of these in the next window. See all of them side by side.
