Scrybe

MCP-native cross-platform Markdown editor. The document is the conversation: the desktop app, the CLI, and AI agents all drive the same live document through one tool contract.

Install

brew install --cask hartsock/scrybe/scrybe    # macOS (Apple silicon)
npm install -g scrybe-ai                      # CLI via npm
pip install scrybe.ai                         # Python toolkit
cargo install scrybe-cli scrybe-mcp-server    # from source via crates.io

First Homebrew install (Homebrew 6+): a cask from a third-party tap must be trusted once. If you hit "Refusing to load cask from untrusted tap", run brew trust hartsock/scrybe (or the exact command Homebrew prints) and re-run the install.

Windows: choco install scrybe (pending community moderation). All installers are on GitHub Releases: dmg · setup.exe/msi · AppImage · deb · rpm.

All packages version in lock-step: one release, one version, every channel.

Quick start

scrybe file.md          # open a file in the GUI
scrybe ./               # open a directory
scrybe --help           # everything the CLI can do

# Connect to Claude Code as an MCP server
claude mcp add scrybe -- scrybe-mcp-server stdio

Every human control has an agent equivalent and vice versa. The full MCP tool surface — names, schemas, semantics — is frozen per release in docs/mcp-contract-0.6.json; the CLI↔GUI socket contract lives in docs/rpc-contract-0.6.md. Agent workflow guide: AGENTS.md.

Development

git clone https://github.com/hartsock/scrybe && cd scrybe
just check              # full lint + test suite
just dev                # Tauri dev server

Architecture, crate map, and conventions: CLAUDE.md. Direction: ROADMAP.md — GitHub issues are the ground truth.
