Polypore launches as a modular IDE that treats agents as first‑class citizens. Built on Tauri 2 and React 18, it offers dockable panels for every workflow—Claude, Codex, live preview, Monaco editor, diff stack, terminal, and debug. The architecture lets developers swap or extend panels without touching core code, keeping pace with rapid tooling shifts for development teams today, daily needs.

The IDE ships with a Node‑based MCP server that exposes over 22+ tools—from debugging commands to memory management and secret handling. Agents communicate via JSON‑RPC, allowing them to set breakpoints, run verification suites, or trigger formatters without seeing plaintext secrets. Plugins live in .polypore/plugins, sandboxed iframes that share the same host contract as built‑ins for developers and teams today, daily.

Polypore distributes as App Images, .deb, .rpm, dmg, and MSI, auto‑updating after first install. The project is MIT‑licensed and relies on Rust for the Tauri shell, SQLite for persistence, and a keyring crate for secret brokerage. By treating agents as the core workflow, it aligns IDE evolution with the pace of AI tooling, offering a future‑proof development environment for developers.
