Starmux — All-in-One Self-Hosted MCP Server & Gateway

Built-in file, terminal & Git tools—plus a unified gateway to connect, run, and manage all your cross-platform MCP services in one place.

All-in-One MCP Server · 100% Self-Hosted & Zero Telemetry · Multi-MCP Gateway & Middleware · Streamable HTTP · MIT

Why Starmux?

Starmux All-in-One Self-Hosted MCP Server.

Cloud AI assistants (like ChatGPT Web, Claude, or Doubao) are isolated in the browser, and many desktop coding agents (like Codex, WorkBuddy, Cursor, Claude Code, Antigravity, DSH-Harness, Kimi Code, Minimax Code, or ZCode) lack native apps for headless Linux servers or ARM64 edge boards.

Meanwhile, deploying and managing MCP tools across machines normally requires manually assembling 4 separate open-source tools: a local host-tool server (DesktopCommanderMCP or filesystem-mcp), a stdio-to-HTTP bridge (supergateway or mcp-proxy), an authentication/aggregation gateway (MCPHub, ContextForge, or Caddy), and a process supervisor.

Starmux (Star topology + Multiplexer) is an out-of-the-box, 100% self-hosted All-in-One MCP Server & Gateway—with zero third-party cloud relays—that replaces that entire fragmented chain with a single 'starmux up' daemon:

Starmux All-in-One Self-Hosted MCP Server and Programmable Multi-MCP Gateway: Single 'starmux up --code --allow-lan' daemon replacing a 4-tool DIY stack, connecting ChatGPT Web, Claude, Codex, WorkBuddy, Cursor, and Antigravity over Localhost, Direct LAN/Tailscale, SSH, or Tunnel/HTTPS to 25+ built-in zero-telemetry host tools and multiple stdio/HTTP MCP servers on macOS, Linux x64/ARM64, NVIDIA Jetson, and Windows

Turnkey File, Diff Edit, Terminal & Git Tools (Zero Extra Setup): Built-in Desktop Commander engine (25+ host tools) lets AI read/write files, run ripgrep searches, apply surgical diff edits, control interactive shells, manage background processes, and run Git out of the box—no external MCP servers or reverse proxies required.
100% Self-Hosted, Privacy-First & Zero Telemetry: Your traffic never routes through a third-party cloud relay, and Starmux's bundled Desktop Commander engine is surgically stripped of all upstream telemetry, phone-home analytics, cloud-relay hooks, and prompt surveys at build time.
Operate Headless Linux, NVIDIA Jetson (ARM64), macOS & Windows Remotely: Desktop AI tools like Codex or WorkBuddy have no native Linux or ARM64 app. Run Starmux on your Linux server, NVIDIA Jetson Orin, or workstation, and code on it remotely from your Mac/Windows laptop or browser.
Unified Multi-MCP Gateway, stdio-to-HTTP Bridge & Middleware: Built-in stdio-to-Streamable HTTP multiplexer that connects, runs, and manages multiple local stdio or remote HTTP MCP servers (starmux server add or Web Dashboard) behind a single /mcp endpoint—complete with argument defaults, tool aliases, conditional routing, field redaction, read caching, and custom ESM plugins.
Safe by Default & Turnkey Management: Starts in Global Read-Only mode (--read) by default; switch to Coding mode (--code) in one command, expose directly on LAN/Tailscale (--allow-lan), lock down access with per-client Bearer API keys or OAuth 2.0 + PKCE, and manage everything via the local **Web Dashb
