About Muster

Muster is a native desktop application for macOS, Linux and Windows that orchestrates parallel AI coding agents on a user’s local machine. It provides a single control surface where tasks, agents, databases, servers and tickets are consolidated into one window. Each task can run in its own isolated git worktree and branch, preventing conflicts between agents and keeping the main branch untouched. Users can select from 23 built-in agent CLIs or configure custom adapters via TOML files, with live status indicators for each agent’s progress. The tool enforces granular permissions through its MCP server, allowing read-only access by default and requiring explicit approval for write operations. Diffs are reviewed hunk by hunk before changes are staged and pushed as pull requests, with linked issues automatically tracked. Profiles isolate identities, credentials and environments so users can run personal and work agents simultaneously without switching accounts or risking quota misuse.

Frequently asked questions about Muster

What is Muster and what does it do?

Muster is a native desktop application for macOS, Linux, and Windows that orchestrates parallel AI coding agents on a user’s local machine. It consolidates tasks, agents, databases, servers, and tickets into a single control surface, allowing users to manage multiple agents without conflicts.

Who should use Muster?

Muster is designed for developers and teams who want to leverage AI coding agents for parallel task execution while maintaining control over permissions, code quality, and identity management. It suits users who need to run personal and work agents simultaneously without switching accounts.

How does Muster handle permissions and security?

Muster enforces granular permissions through its MCP server, granting read-only access by default and requiring explicit approval for write operations. Agents access databases, tasks, and other resources through a gate, with permissions scoped to specific databases, hosts, projects, or worktrees.

Can Muster integrate with existing tools like databases and issue trackers?

Yes, Muster supports integration with 5 database engines, 7 issue trackers, and 23 built-in AI agent CLIs. It also allows configuration of custom adapters via TOML files, enabling compatibility with a wide range of tools and workflows.

How does Muster manage git workflows and code reviews?

Muster runs each task in its own isolated git worktree and branch, preventing conflicts between agents. Users can review changes hunk by hunk before staging and pushing them as pull requests, with linked issues automatically tracked.

What are profiles in Muster and how do they work?

Profiles in Muster are isolated identities that separate work and personal environments on a single machine. Each profile has its own credentials, SSH keys, git identity, and AI-CLI logins, allowing users to run multiple agents under different identities without switching accounts.
