Distri: A Composable Agent Framework MCP Server

What is Distri?

Distri is an open-source AI agent framework built in Rust. It lets you define agents in markdown, connect product functions as tools, and run them from the CLI, as an API server, or embedded in a React UI.

How to use Distri?

Install via the curl script or Homebrew, then run distri serve to start the server and web UI on port 7777 (default). Use distri run <agent> --task "..." to execute built-in or custom agents, or define agents in markdown files and push them to Distri Cloud.
