A Desktop Inbox for Claude That Wants to Configure Itself

What it does

Craft Agents is a desktop inbox for wrangling multiple LLM providers—Anthropic, Google AI Studio, ChatGPT Plus, GitHub Copilot, and OpenAI—into threaded sessions with status workflows, file diffs, and drag-drop attachments. It connects to external tools via MCP servers and REST APIs, and can split into a headless remote server with a thin-client Electron UI for long-running or shared workloads.

The interesting bit

The Craft.do team pitches this as “agent-native” software: you allegedly never edit a config file. Tell the agent to add Linear, paste an OpenAPI spec (or even a screenshot of docs), or import Claude Code skills, and it supposedly handles the plumbing instantly without restarts. They claim to dogfood the app exclusively—no traditional code editors—to build itself.

Key highlights

• Multi-session task management with custom statuses (Todo → In Progress → Done) and flagging
• Three permission tiers (safe, ask, allow-all) toggled via SHIFT+TAB to control write access
• Headless server mode over WebSocket, letting sessions survive on a remote box while the desktop app stays lightweight
• Built-in CLI client for scripting, CI/CD, or terminal-first users
• Event-driven automations that can spawn sessions on label changes, schedules, or tool triggers

Verdict

Try it if you want a structured, GUI-first control plane for Claude and MCP tools—especially for teams sharing remote sessions. Pass if you live happily in a terminal and text editor.
