Documentation

Task-oriented Irigate documentation for local setup, configuration, selection, operations, safety, and FAQ.

Irigate is a loopback-only MCP broker for local developer workflows. It lets multiple local AI coding-agent sessions share explicitly qualified stdio MCP servers while preserving isolated-by-default behavior and metadata-only operational reports.

First local run

Start with Getting started to install Irigate from a checkout, create a minimal profile, validate it, start the broker, and connect one client with an exact tools= selector.
