manta is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from antoinedc/MantaUI. It costs 69 tokens per session (3,520 once invoked), scanned D, original, MIT.

A setup guide for installing Manta UI, a self-hosted interface for Claude Code and opencode, on your own Linux computer or Mac.

In plain words
What is it for?
Installing or upgrading Manta, connecting Claude Code to a server, and making that server reachable from a desktop or phone.
Why use it?
It provides a defined installation process and protects the settings that pair your devices with the server.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade D, and why

manta scanned grade D with 3 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 235 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an AI coding agent installing Manta UI's box server on behalf of your user. Follow this document exactly. Do not improvise install steps: the installer script is the single mechanism; your job is the interview, running it with the right knobs, verifying, and reporting.

Safety invariants (never violate)

  • NEVER delete or regenerate ~/.manta/auth.json. It is the box identity; regenerating it unpairs every device the user has.
  • NEVER edit ~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc destructively — the installer merges what it needs; leave it alone.
  • NEVER run the installer as root or with sudo. It is a per-user, user-space install (systemd --user + linger). It never installs system packages. If a prerequisite is missing (e.g. tmux), show the user the exact install command and ask them to run it or approve it — do not run sudo yourself unless the user explicitly approves that command.
  • NEVER install Node.js or build tools — the installer ships its own Node runtime inside the release tarball.
  • Re-running the installer is safe: it upgrades in place and preserves identity.

Step 1 — interview (ask BEFORE running anything)

Ask the user exactly this question:

  1. "Am I running on the Linux box you want to install Manta on, or should I install on a remote box over SSH?" If remote: ask for user@host (and key/port if needed), then run every command below through ssh user@host '…'. Verify SSH works with ssh user@host 'echo ok' first.

Do NOT ask about chat mode (always installed), model providers, or projects — the desktop app's onboarding handles those.

macOS box (Apple Silicon) — read this if the answer was "this Mac"

The installer supports macOS as a box OS only on Apple Silicon (arm64) machines running a recent macOS. Intel Macs are not supported as a box — the installer will refuse with a clear message rather than silently failing; if the user wants to USE Manta on an Intel Mac, point them at the desktop app instead (https://mantaui.com/downloads/Manta-latest.dmg).

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

manta is a skill published in the GitHub repository antoinedc/MantaUI (12 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 3,520 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
