Crabtalk

Crates.io Docs Discord

[!WARNING] Heavy refactor in progress. The CLI is being redesigned and is not in the tree yet. Crate layout and APIs are moving with it — treat anything written about internals as out of date until this settles.

Agent daemon. Runs agents, dispatches tools, connects to MCP servers. Start it, talk to it, extend it with packages.

cargo install crabup   # the version manager
crabup install         # crabtalk itself
crabtalkd              # run the daemon

See the installation guide for details.

Config reference: crates/store/src/config/.

How It Works

The daemon owns no tools of its own. Shell, file access, skills and session search are harnesses an agent declares — one RV64 ELF each, reaching only what that declaration granted. MCP is a capability, not a harness: calling another program is not shaping an agent.

Apps are agent-powered experiences and standalone services built on top of the daemon — independent binaries that connect via auto-discovery.
