Craft Agents OSS is an open-source desktop application built on Anthropic's Claude Agent SDK, offering a polished GUI for managing multiple AI agent sessions simultaneously. Built by Luki Labs and released under Apache 2.0, it fills the gap between raw API access and the full Claude.ai web interface — giving developers and power users a native desktop experience with serious capability depth. The app supports three permission modes that make it genuinely useful for real work: Explore (read-only, safe for exploring codebases), Ask to Edit (approval-based, for supervised automation), and Auto (unrestricted, for trusted workflows). It connects to MCP servers, REST APIs from Google, Slack, and Microsoft, and local filesystems, with real-time streaming responses and full tool call visualization. A multi-session workflow with Todo → In Progress → Needs Review → Done status tracking makes it feel more like a project management system than a chat interface. Built on Electron + React with encrypted credential storage and a headless server mode, Craft Agents is architecturally serious. It's available as a one-line installer for macOS, Linux, and Windows. With the Claude Agent SDK gaining traction, this is the first polished desktop client that treats agents as long-running workflows rather than single-turn conversations.
Reviewer scorecard
“Mature API, excellent SDKs, and the content model is flexible. The enterprise choice for headless CMS.”
“The three permission modes — Explore, Ask to Edit, Auto — is the right model for how I actually use agents. I want read-only exploration when I'm learning a codebase and auto mode when I'm in flow. That plus MCP server support makes this my new default agent UI.”
“Expensive for what it is. Sanity and Payload offer better DX at lower cost. Only justified for enterprise compliance needs.”
“Electron desktop apps for AI agents have a graveyard of predecessors — most people end up in the terminal or the browser anyway. The Claude-only model dependency is also a real limitation; when Anthropic changes their SDK or pricing, the whole platform needs to adapt.”
“The editor experience is functional but uninspiring. Sanity's customizable studio is more pleasant to work in.”
“File attachments with automatic format conversion plus the Slack/Google API integrations mean I can finally have agents that work across my whole toolkit, not just the terminal. The one-line installer is the detail that will make this actually get adopted.”
“Agent session management as a first-class concept is where the whole category is heading. Craft Agents is early proof that the IDE model — multi-session, persistent, project-aware — is the right UX paradigm for AI agents, not the chat-box model we inherited from GPT-3 days.”
