Craft Agents

Craft Agents is an open source desktop app that connects AI agents to APIs, MCP servers, and local sources.

Craft Agents is an open source desktop app designed to work with AI agents through a natural user interface. It connects to various sources like REST APIs, Model Context Protocol servers, local filesystems, and databases by interpreting natural language commands. Users can bring their own models or subscriptions from providers like Claude, ChatGPT, OpenRouter, and local runtimes such as Ollama or LM Studio. The software includes a built-in Chromium browser for web navigation, form filling, and data extraction tasks. It features background task execution, fine-grained permissions per source, and customizable skills based on Claude Code.
