Why Aurict
More than an assistant.
A complete agent runtime.
Most AI coding tools are a chat interface attached to a text editor. Aurict is engineered differently — from the architecture up.
Agent-first, not prompt-first
Most tools wrap a single LLM call. Aurict routes every task to the right specialist — a dedicated agent with its own tools, context budget, and domain knowledge. Complex tasks are decomposed and run in parallel.
Zero-setup cross-platform
Install with one npm command on any OS. Aurict ships native compiled binaries — no Node runtime required at execution time, no WSL on Windows, no Rosetta headaches on Apple Silicon.
Context that sees your codebase
Before you ask your first question, Aurict has already read your directory tree, detected your framework, parsed your config, and ranked the files most likely to matter. No manual attachment, no copy-paste.
Open and yours to extend
Bring your own MCP servers, custom slash commands, and team-shared skill templates. Your claude_desktop_config.json works out of the box. Nothing is locked into a proprietary cloud.
Capabilities
Not just autocomplete.
An AI team in your terminal.
Providers
9 providers. Switch anytime.
Bring your own API key — no vendor lock-in
Integrations
Works with your existing tools.
Via MCP (Model Context Protocol) — connect any tool with a config file
Get started
Up and running in 30 seconds.
Aurict starts with security tools hidden from the model. Choose Passive for defensive review and reporting, Active Lite for controlled Docker-backed scans, or Kali Full only when you want the larger experimental image. Active profiles still require Docker, an allowlisted target, permission approval, rate limits, and concurrency limits.
