Purpose
This is a desktop application that centralizes the management of configurations, plugins, MCPs, and subagents for over ten different AI coding tools (like Claude, Cursor, and Codex). It scans your system to find scattered settings files and syncs them across your tools via a graphical interface.

Security Assessment
Overall Risk: Low. Because this tool is designed to modify your local AI configuration files, it inherently requires broad read and write access to sensitive directories (like `~/.claude/` and project folders). However, the automated code scan found no dangerous patterns, hardcoded secrets, or requests for unnecessary system permissions. The application is distributed via pre-packaged binaries (`.exe`, `.dmg`, etc.) rather than running directly in the terminal. While the scan found no malicious network activity, users should be aware it features a built-in auto-updater that regularly checks for new versions over the internet.

Quality Assessment
Quality is promising but comes with early-adoever caveats. The project is licensed under the highly permissive MIT license and appears actively maintained, with repository activity as recent as today. On the downside, it has very low community visibility at the moment, with only 5 stars on GitHub. This means the codebase has not been widely peer-reviewed by the broader developer community, which generally lowers community trust until the project matures.

Verdict
Use with caution: The tool is actively maintained and passed automated security checks, but its very low community adoption means it lacks extensive peer review for a tool that accesses sensitive configuration directories.
SUMMARY

One app to manage MCPs, skills, rules, hooks, subagents and plugins across Claude, Codex, Gemini, and 7 more AI coding tools.

Loadout — Gear up your AI tools

Latest Release Downloads License CI

One desktop app to manage MCPs, skills, rules, hooks, and subagents across all your AI coding tools.


AI coding assistants store their configs in scattered JSON, TOML, and markdown files across your home directory and project folders. Loadout scans all of them, shows you what's configured where, and lets you sync settings between tools — without touching a terminal.

What You Can Do

See everything in one place. Loadout discovers MCPs, skills, rules, hooks, subagents, and plugins across all your AI tools — both global (~/.claude/, ~/.codex/, ~/.gemini/) and project-level (.claude/, .gemini/).

MCP registry — tool filters, scope badges, and health indicators

Sync configs between tools. Add an MCP server to Claude, then sync it to Codex and Gemini with one click. Same for skills and agents.

Cross-tool sync — adding a skill to multiple tools at once

Manage skills across tools. Browse, import, and install skills with drag-and-drop. Loadout groups identical skills across tools and flags conflicts when content differs.

Skills management — grouped skills with tool badges and maturity indicators

Catch conflicts. When the same skill or agent has different content across tools, Loadout flags it so you can decide which version to keep.

Manage your context budget. The Context page estimates how many tokens your rules, skills, and MCP definitions consume — split into always-loaded (idle) and on-demand (active).

Test MCP health. Check whether your MCP servers are reachable and responding before you wonder why a tool isn't working.

Preview content. Markdown rendering for skills, rules, and agent prompts — no more reading raw files.

Learn the ecosystem. The Learn page explains MCPs, skills, subagents, rules, hooks, plugins, context windows, and scoping — all in one place.

Development

Prerequisites

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/AmElmo/loadout.git
cd loadout
pnpm install
pnpm tauri dev

Run Against Test Fixtures

To use demo data instead of your real home directory:

pnpm tauri:dev:fixtures

This loads configs from fixtures/home/ — a mock home directory with Claude, Codex, and Gemini configurations. The LOADOUT_HOME env var is only honored in debug builds.

Build

pnpm tauri build
