// why_orbit

Local dev tools haven't changed
in a decade. Until now.

Traditional local dev stacks were built before AI existed. Orbit is built for how developers actually work today.

AI-First Architecture

72+ MCP tools give your AI assistant full access to your dev stack. Create sites, manage databases, diagnose issues, scaffold projects — all through natural conversation. No other local dev tool does this.

17 Services, One Interface

Nginx, Apache, PHP (multi-version), MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Meilisearch, Node.js, Python, Bun, Deno, Go, Rust, Composer, Mailpit, Ngrok. Install any of them in one click.

Three Ways to Control

A beautiful GUI when you want it. A powerful CLI when you need it. MCP tools when your AI handles it. Same stack, your choice.

Blueprint System

Go from zero to a running project in seconds. Blueprints handle service setup, site creation, scaffolding, database, SSL and hosts — all automatically.
