Introduction

GenKitKraft is a self-hostable platform for configuring and running LLM agents, built on Google Genkit (Go SDK). It ships as a single binary with an embedded frontend and SQLite storage — no external dependencies required.

Features​

  • Agent Builder UI — Create agents with custom system instructions
  • MCP Server — Manage everything via Model Context Protocol from Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client
  • MCP Tool Support — Connect MCP tool servers to your agents for external integrations
  • Multi-Provider LLM Access — Use OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more
  • OpenAI-Compatible API — Expose configured agents via a standard API
  • Single Binary Deployment — Server and UI ship as one binary

Getting Started​

There are two ways to get started with GenKitKraft:

Via the UI​

  1. Install GenKitKraft
  2. Follow the First Steps guide to configure your first agent through the web interface

Via MCP (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.)​

  1. Install GenKitKraft
  2. Follow the MCP Quickstart to connect your MCP client and create agents conversationally

Configuration​

GenKitKraft is configured entirely through environment variables. For configuration details, see Environment Variables.

Using the UI​

To learn about the UI, start with Configuring Providers. Once you have agents set up, see the Tools guide to connect HTTP tools and MCP servers.

Using the MCP Server​

GenKitKraft exposes all management APIs as MCP tools. Connect from any MCP-compatible client to create agents, configure providers, assign tools, and chat — all conversationally. See the MCP Quickstart to get connected, or the full MCP reference for all available tools.
