Summary

AZMX AI is a sovereign agent platform prioritizing privacy and local control for developers and power users. It enables AI agents to run directly on the user's machine, routing requests to local models or chosen providers without proxying through AZMX servers, enhancing security and workflow efficiency.

How It Works

The platform ensures privacy by processing AI requests locally, connecting directly to user-selected providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.) or local Ollama models. Key features include "per-call agent approval" for actions like file writes/shell commands (configurable security), and a hash-chained, tamper-evident local audit log. AZMX is MCP-native, integrating with numerous services (GitHub, Kubernetes, Postgres) via configurable JSON manifests.

Quick Start & Requirements

Installation is available via Homebrew (macOS), a curl script (macOS/Linux), or winget (Windows), with signed installers provided for all platforms. The core installer is ~10 MB with sub-second cold starts. Local AI setup requires Ollama (~150 MB download, ~4.7 GB for models). Detailed guides are in SETUP.md.

Highlighted Details

• Privacy-First: AI requests are never proxied; data remains local.
• Local AI & BYOK: Supports one-click Ollama setup for free local AI or Bring-Your-Own-Key for major cloud providers.
• Agent Control: Features per-action agent approval and a secure, local, hash-chained audit log.
• Integrated Dev Tools: Includes terminal (xterm.js), CodeMirror editor (AI autocomplete, Vim mode), and Git-aware file explorer.
• MCP-Native: Integrates with 17+ services (GitHub, Kubernetes, Postgres) and supports custom connectors.

Maintenance & Community

Community contributions (skills, agents, MCP connectors, snippets) are encouraged, with contributors retaining copyright and granting permissive licenses. Contributions are integrated via auto-updater. Support for bugs is via GitHub issues.

Licensing & Compatibility

The core application is under an End-User License Agreement (EULA). Official npm packages (@azmxailabs/mcp, @azmxailabs/agent-sdk) are MIT-licensed. The platform supports air-gapped operation and requires no account or telemetry.

Limitations & Caveats

The core AZMX AI application source code is proprietary. The EULA governing the main application may contain usage restrictions not detailed in the README.
