Claude Command Center: Open-Source Dashboard for Claude Code Analytics
Claude Command Center is an open-source dashboard built specifically for Claude Code users to monitor their usage and sessions. The tool was created entirely using Claude Code (with Opus for main implementation and Haiku for AI summarization) and addresses the problem of tracking spending, finding specific session fixes, and managing MCP server configurations across multiple projects.
Installation and Setup
Install with one command: npx claude-command-center. Once installed, open http://localhost:5100. The dashboard runs entirely locally with no cloud services, telemetry, or accounts required.
Key Features
- Cost analytics – Per session, project, model, and daily spend charts
- Deep search – Full-text search across all session message content
- AI summaries – Haiku-generated session summaries with topics and outcomes
- File heatmap – Shows which files get touched most across sessions
- Bash knowledge base – Every shell command indexed with success rates
- Live monitoring – Active sessions with context usage and cost estimates
- Session health – Tool error and retry detection
- Decision log – AI-extracted architectural decisions from sessions
- Operations nerve center – Service health monitoring and cost pacing
- Additional features including prompt library, weekly digest, and auto-workflows
Technical Details
The project includes an Express backend, React frontend, 20+ scanner modules, and 1,150 tests – all written through Claude Code sessions. It automatically reads your ~/.claude/ directory without requiring configuration. The architecture, JSONL parsers, React components, and test suite were all developed through Claude sessions.
Availability
Claude Command Center is free and open source under the MIT license. Source code is available on GitHub and the package is published on npm.
