FlyEnvRun your complete local development stack natively.

Manage runtimes, databases, web servers, local sites and HTTPS from one desktop app on Windows, macOS and Linux — with AI coding tools and MCP built in.

FlyEnv local development stack with runtimes, databases, web servers, local sites, HTTPS, and AI/MCP

Why FlyEnv

Less setup. More project time.

No container setup

Start PHP, MySQL, Redis and Nginx from the same app without building a container stack first.

One workspace

Open a project once and manage its runtimes, services, local site and AI context from one view.

Per-project versions

Switch the PHP, Node.js or Python version for one project without changing every other project.

Local domains & HTTPS

Create a local site and trusted HTTPS URL without editing the hosts file or running mkcert by hand.

AI coding workspace

Connect your local stack to AI coding clients with MCP

Your AI coding client works in the same local environment as your project—not a separate virtual setup. Let Claude Code, Codex and other MCP clients work with the same runtimes, services and local sites already managed by FlyEnv.

  • Manage project-specific runtimes
  • Start and stop selected services
  • Work with local sites
  • Use project-specific environments
