What it is
LiveAgent is a local-first AI agent desktop client that provides multi-model access, local tool execution, and an MCP & Skills ecosystem. It supports remote gateway access to control the local agent from a browser and runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
How it works
The project comprises a desktop GUI built with Tauri, React, and Rust, and a Gateway service written in Go. The architecture shows a Browser WebUI communicating with the Agent Gateway over WebSocket + Protobuf, with the Gateway bridging to various models and local tools via MCP and Skills. The system supports local file system operations, Bash/long-running processes, and memory with Markdown + SQLite FTS. It enables remote access through a WebUI via the Gateway.
Getting started
Installers are published via GitHub Releases. System requirements cover macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), Windows (x64 with WebView2), and Linux (x86_64 with WebKitGTK 4.1). The README provides deployment steps for the Gateway with Docker commands:
docker pull ghcr.io/stack-cairn/liveagent-gateway:latest
docker run -d \
--name liveagent-gateway \
--restart unless-stopped \
-p 3000:8080 \
-e LIVEAGENT_GATEWAY_TOKEN=your-token \
ghcr.io/stack-cairn/liveagent-gateway:latest
docker pull ghcr.io/stack-cairn/liveagent-gateway:latest \
&& docker rm -f liveagent-gateway \
&& docker run -d \
--name liveagent-gateway \
--restart unless-stopped \
-p 3000:8080 \
-e LIVEAGENT_GATEWAY_TOKEN=your-token \
ghcr.io/stack-cairn/liveagent-gateway:latest \
&& docker image prune -f

Caveats
License: MIT. Created on 2026-05-24; last push 2026-07-20. Open issues: 21. The project provides downloadable installers and deployment guidance, including containerized gateway deployment and nginx proxy details. No API key leakage; keys are stored locally and the gateway acts as a relay.
