Atlarix

Live

A desktop coding harness built specifically around open-weight models like DeepSeek, Qwen and Kimi, instead of bolting them onto a Claude or GPT-first interface as an afterthought.

FreeWorks offline
What to know▼
How it works
A desktop AI coding harness built around open-weight models (DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, MiniMax) instead of Claude/GPT, using a structural + lexical code-retrieval engine (Blueprint) that builds a real dependency graph of the codebase rather than embeddings or a vector DB.
What's different
Built specifically for open-weight models' weaker context discipline, instead of treating them as an afterthought behind a Claude/GPT-first interface.
Pricing
Free.
Best for
Developers who want to use open-weight models like DeepSeek, Qwen, or Kimi for coding with retrieval built for their limitations.
Watch out
Depends on local tools like Ollama and MCP — offline/no-cloud setup requires configuring those dependencies yourself.

Domain registered 7 months ago

Works offlineOpen source
What to know▼
How it works
An open-source AI workspace where you bring your own API keys for Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini, bridging a terminal, a local-first desktop app, and mobile remote control with a command approval mechanism.
What's different

Works offline
What to know▼
How it works
A local-first, MCP-native memory layer for AI agents that reasons over stored facts, catches contradictions, derives facts that were never explicitly stated, and checks claims before an agent repeats them.

Best for
Developers building AI agents who need a memory layer with consistency checks.

schemafit

Live

A CLI linter that statically checks JSON schemas against each LLM provider's constraints so they don't fail at runtime.

Works offline
What to know▼
How it works
A CLI that statically lints JSON schemas/tool definitions against each LLM provider's documented constraints (e.g. Anthropic-rejected keywords, missing additionalProperties), pointing to the exact JSON-Pointer path and reason, with a repair pass that emits a best-effort provider-valid variant.
What's different
Makes no model calls, needs no API key, and has zero runtime dependencies.
Best for
Teams whose schemas work on one LLM provider but 400 on another.

mcpfold

Live

A CLI and proxy that curates your MCP server config and shares it across Claude, Cursor, VS Code and Windsurf, loading only the tools each agent needs — for developers juggling multiple AI coding clients.

Works offline
What to know▼
How it works
A local-first CLI and proxy where you write your MCP server configuration once, then it fans that config out to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and Windsurf, loading only the tools each agent actually needs and resolving secret references instead of hardcoded keys.
What's different
Loads a curated subset of tools per client rather than every configured MCP server, avoiding the context-window overhead of loading them all.
Best for
Developers using multiple AI coding clients who want one MCP config instead of duplicating setup across each tool.
