Open-source AI tools

MCP servers, on the house.

Ignyte runs on open-source tools whenever possible. Sometimes we self-host them, sometimes we don't. Either way, we'd rather pay the people building in the open than the ones building moats. When we can give something back, we do. This page is where those things live.

What's an MCP server?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude actually use your tools. The server exposes a set of capabilities and the assistant calls them when it needs to. Send an email, pull a segment, check what bounced last week. That kind of thing.

Install once and Claude can drive your real instance with your real data. Nothing leaves your machine that wasn't already going there.

Everything else we make works the same way: built in the open, designed for ownership rather than renting.
