mulerun computer is the umbrella for everything you can do with a MuleRun compute instance: spin one up, run a shell, execute a single command, or chat with the on-instance AI agent. This page is a quick overview. Detailed per-subcommand pages are coming soon.

Instance lifecycle

For most commands the <instance-id> is optional: when omitted, the CLI auto-detects the first RUNNING instance (and will wake a SLEEPING one if that’s the only option).

Remote execution

ACP chat

Talk to the AI agent running on the instance over the ACP protocol.
When no <instance-id> is provided, the CLI picks the first RUNNING instance (or wakes a SLEEPING one). Press Ctrl+C during a stream to cancel the prompt cleanly.

Filesystem operations

The fs subgroup talks to the instance’s filesystem over a JSON-RPC channel:

Tips

  • --wait on wakeup / reboot blocks until the instance reaches RUNNING — useful when the next command needs the instance up.
  • release defaults to economy suspend (recoverable). --force makes it destructive; pair with --yes to skip the confirmation prompt only when you know what you’re doing.
