Open source alternative to Google Gemini Code Assist, Zapier and Google Cloud Vertex AI

Free, open-source desktop app for managing MCP servers and AI skills across various clients.
mTarsier is an open-source desktop application designed to streamline the management of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and AI skills across multiple clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code. This tool automatically detects every AI client installed on your machine, allowing you to manage all your MCP servers, AI skills, and configurations from a single interface.
Key Features:
Use Cases:
mTarsier fits developers who want to audit and manage all local MCP servers across supported clients.
You only configure MCP through one tool and rarely change it.
The app helps keep skills and agent settings aligned across multiple coding environments.
Your organization centrally manages all agent configuration.
mTarsier detects supported AI clients so developers can see agent tooling across their local environment.
The app gives users a central place to view, edit, and organize MCP server configuration.
mTarsier also helps manage skills alongside MCP servers, reducing configuration sprawl for agent-heavy workflows.

Existing project copy names tools such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.
Low-code event-driven programming with a browser-based editor
Self-hosted Zapier alternative for workflow automation
Self-hosted agents that watch the web and trigger automations
Open source Agent OS built in Rust with autonomous agents
Build AI-powered automations and agents without vendor lock-in
Run large language models locally on Mac, Linux, or Windows
MCP adoption creates a new configuration problem: every AI client can have its own server list, skill directories, JSON files, and enablement rules. Developers who experiment across several tools quickly lose track of what is installed where.
mTarsier provides a unified management layer for MCP servers and skills. The goal is to make agent tooling easier to inspect, edit, and reuse without manually opening every client configuration file.
mTarsier is best for developers who run several AI clients and need a cleaner way to manage MCP and skills.
