Connectra Keeps the Cloud Away from Root
Connectra is an outbound MCP bridge that lets AI agents inspect, modify, and test code on a local machine under desktop-enforced permissions.
Field notes
Connectra routes agent requests through an outbound WebSocket connection while keeping filesystem authority in its desktop application. Users define Allowed Roots, and the displayed workflow moves from file discovery to reading, patch approval, and local test execution. The page shows permission states of allow, ask, and deny, plus a sample sha-256-verified diff for counter.rs. Its architecture names Tauri and Rust on the desktop side and Cloudflare Workers with Durable Objects in the control plane.
