Xe Launcher V2

v2 using svelte and with enhanced plugin management and mcp

Agent54 Desktop

A plugin-based desktop launcher built with Tauri. Compile exactly the tools you need with 0.9s incremental builds.

What is this?

A minimal desktop shell that hosts functionality through plugins. Instead of building monolithic apps, create focused plugins that compile into a custom launcher. Think of it as a bootloader for desktop tools.

Key features:

  • ⚔ 0.9s incremental builds
  • šŸ”Œ Plugin-based architecture (compile only what you need)
  • šŸ¤– Built-in MCP server for AI agent integration
  • šŸ“¦ Native tool support via sidecars
  • šŸŽÆ ~5MB base size, grows only with active plugins

Quick Start

# Prerequisites: Bun + Rust
bun install

# For fresh checkouts only: sync plugin binaries
bun manage-sidecars sync

# Run with specific plugins (fast builds)
bun dev:settings      # Just settings plugin
bun dev:none          # No plugins (minimal)
bun dev:tauri         # All plugins

# Create a new plugin (prompts for JS/TS)
bun create-plugin my-tool

Core Concepts

  • Plugins are Cargo features - Conditional compilation, not dynamic loading
  • Registry drives everything - One JSON file controls the entire system
  • Three-tier control - Registry → Build → Runtime

Development

# Plugin management
bun plugin:list               # Show all plugins
bun plugin:enable my-tool     # Enable in registry
bun manage-sidecars sync      # Sync native binaries

# Building
bun run build:tauri           # Production build

Why This Approach?

Traditional plugin systems require choosing between dynamic loading (security risks, performance overhead) or static compilation (inflexible). We chose a third way: conditional compilation with runtime control.

Result: The security and performance of static compilation with the flexibility of dynamic systems.
