Run PHP, Node.js, Python, databases, local sites, AI coding clients, and the FlyEnv MCP Server from one desktop app. A faster native alternative to Docker, XAMPP, Herd, and scattered CLI tooling.
Run runtimes, web servers, databases, queues, mail testing, and HTTPS as native binaries with faster startup and lower RAM than container-heavy setups.
Install and manage Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Kimi, Antigravity CLI, and GitHub Copilot CLI from the same desktop workspace as your projects.
Expose local services, sites, configs, logs, and selected lifecycle actions to AI clients through the FlyEnv MCP Server without hand-editing every integration.
Switch versions per project, manage local domains and SSL, tunnel with Cloudflare, schedule cron jobs, and use built-in dev tools from one app.
Everything you need to run local projects, AI coding clients, and the bridge between them.
FlyEnv puts Apache, Nginx, PHP-FPM, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, Mailpit, and more behind a single clean dashboard. Start, stop, and switch between multiple native versions with one click — no terminal, no Docker, no config files.
Stop editing /etc/hosts. FlyEnv creates custom .test domains and trusted SSL certificates automatically. Manage all your local projects in one place, each with its own runtime version and settings.
myapp.test out of the box Drop into any project folder and FlyEnv automatically loads the right environment. Whether you launch a shell, run tests, or open an AI coding CLI from FlyEnv, the correct Node.js, PHP, or Python version is ready with no manual switching and no global conflicts.
FlyEnv is not only a runtime and service manager. It also manages AI coding CLIs and exposes your local projects, services, and site context through the built-in FlyEnv MCP Server.
Run PHP, Node.js, Python, databases, HTTPS, and local services natively, then connect the same environment to Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Kimi, Antigravity CLI, and GitHub Copilot CLI.
Start and stop the MCP server from a UI, manage host, port, token, and auto-start behavior, then connect supported AI tools to the same local environment you already use for development.
AI clients see the same services, sites, and runtime choices you use locally.
Keep the server on localhost by default and only open remote access when needed.
Replace one-off scripts and manual config edits with a built-in bridge inside FlyEnv.
Transparent, auditable, and built by developers for developers. Join us on GitHub.
A heartfelt thank you to all our code contributors,
and to the countless community members and sponsors supporting us behind the scenes.
A unified native workspace for runtimes, databases, AI coding clients, MCP, infrastructure, and modern local workflows.
