Config manager for Claude Code (and others) – rules, MCPs, permissions

I use Claude Code across multiple projects with different conventions and some shared repos just as it so happens to be the real world. Managing the config files (.claude/rules/, mcps.json, settings.json) by hand got tedious, so I built a local web UI for it.

In plain words

Coder-config is a local web interface for managing configuration files across multiple AI coding assistants including Claude Code, Gemini, and others. It provides a visual editor for rules, MCP servers, and permissions, plus a project registry to switch between codebases and "workstreams" that group related repositories with shared context. The tool auto-loads workstreams when navigating to project folders and can be installed as a desktop app or PWA, eliminating manual editing of configuration files.

I use Claude Code across multiple projects with different conventions and some shared repos just as it so happens to be the real world.

This one started out as claude-config but migrated to coder-config as I'm adding others (Gemini, AG, Codex, etc). Main features: - Visual editor for rules, permissions, and MCP servers - Project registry to switch between codebases - "Workstreams" to group related repos (frontend + API + shared libs) with shared context - Auto-load workstreams on cd to included folders - Also supports Gemini CLI and Codex CLI Install: npm install -g coder-config coder-config ui # UI at http://localhost:3333 coder-config ui install # optionally, autostart on MacOS It can also be installed as a PWA and live in your taskbar. Open source, runs locally, no account needed. Feedback and contributions welcome! Sorry, haven't had any chance to test on other OSes (linux/windows)

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
