# Clauge

> An all-in-one desktop developer super-app that combines coding agents, REST client, SQL/NoSQL editors, SSH terminal, file explorer, and project workspace in a single native window.

Clauge is a native desktop application built with Rust and Tauri that consolidates the most common developer tools — coding agents, API client, SQL and NoSQL editors, SSH terminal, file explorer, and a Kanban workspace — into a single window. Created by ansxuman and currently in alpha at v3.0.1, it ships a built-in MCP server with 45+ tools and targets developers who want to stop context-switching between multiple apps.

## What It Is

Clauge is a developer super-app that runs seven distinct modes — Agent, Workspace, REST, SQL, NoSQL, SSH, and Explorer — each with its own AI tuned for that workflow. Rather than a generic AI chatbot bolted onto a tool, each mode's AI understands its context: the SQL AI is schema-aware, the SSH AI gates destructive commands, and the Workspace AI can move cards and raise pull requests. The app is built on SvelteKit + Svelte 5 for the frontend and Tauri v2 (Rust) for the native shell, producing a binary of approximately 25 MB with sub-second cold starts.

## Seven Modes in One Shell

Each mode is reachable with a single keystroke (⌘1–⌘8):

- **Agent** — spawn parallel coding agent sessions (Claude, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode), each with its own git worktree, purpose pin, context manager, and usage analytics
- **Workspace** — Kanban boards with two-way GitHub/GitLab issue sync, Notion-style markdown notes, and named AI coworkers (Tech Lead, Brainstormer, Developer, Reviewer, QA)
- **REST** — HTTP collections client with AI batch runner, Postman v2/v2.1 import, and MCP exposure so external agents can create and edit requests
- **SQL** — multi-engine editor supporting PostgreSQL, MySQL, ClickHouse, SQLite, and Cloudflare D1 with natural-language-to-SQL and cross-dialect translation
- **NoSQL** — MongoDB and Redis client with aggregation pipeline builder and interactive Redis console
- **SSH** — persistent terminal with permission-gated and auto AI modes, multi-tab per host, and port forwarding shared across modes
- **Explorer** — unified file browser for Local FS, Amazon S3 (and S3-compatibles), Azure Blob, SFTP, and FTP with drag-and-drop transfers

## Built-in MCP Server

Clauge ships an MCP server that auto-starts on launch with no configuration required. The server exposes 45+ tools covering board operations, card lifecycle, notes, REST collections, and coworker coordination — including a `cards_call_coworker` tool so a terminal agent can @-mention a workspace coworker without leaving the shell. It supports both stdio and HTTP (`localhost:7421/mcp`) transports, making it compatible with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, and any other MCP-speaking client.

## Local-First Architecture

All sessions, notes, queries, and credentials are stored locally in SQLite. Cloud sync is opt-in and encrypted, covering agent context, coworker profiles, REST collections, and SQL/NoSQL/SSH profiles. Sessions and credentials never leave the device unless sync is explicitly enabled per feature. The PolyForm Noncommercial License governs the project; commercial use by or within a for-profit organization requires a separate enterprise license.

## Update: v3.0.1

The latest release is Clauge v3.0.1, published on 2026-05-26. The GitHub repository shows active development with the last push on the same date. The project launched in March 2026 and has accumulated over 400 stars on GitHub. The homepage describes the current state as "ALPHA on all platforms," with downloads available for macOS (Intel and ARM), Windows (x64 and ARM64), and Linux (x64 and ARM64 in .deb and .rpm formats).
