README
Agent Desktop
A desktop client for every LLM, built for agents. Claude by default — any model via a custom base URL. Plan mode approvals, MCP servers, a real git panel, a scheduler with variables, voice, Jupyter — wired straight to your filesystem, or headless in a Docker sandbox if that's your vibe.
**Full documentation lives on the [Agent Desktop Wiki](https://agent-desktop.wiki)** — features, headless server, architecture, changelog, and guides.
Community
