OpenClerq — a local administrative agent

A model context server for clerical work. It runs on your machine, keeps its tools, skills and memory there, and does its arithmetic in a local engine. The AI explains; it does not calculate, and your documents do not leave.

What it actually is

A small desktop worker plus a gateway bound to 127.0.0.1. The gateway holds the skills and tools and exposes them over an authenticated API; the desktop app is a client of it. Skills are Markdown files you write, so the core ships none — no professions, no jurisdictions, no assumptions about your work.

Try the gateway

The console below simulates the real API — the same endpoints, the same bearer-token rule. One thing is not simulated: "calc" is genuinely evaluated in your browser, which is the whole argument for keeping computation local.

Need a module built?

OpenClerq is yours to run and extend, with no warranty and no obligation from us. If you would rather not write the module yourself — HR, legal, admin, finance — describe the work and we will scope it, or tell you honestly when an existing tool does the job better.
