Emisar is the last MCP server youโll need to install: a Zero-Trust gateway connecting Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and any AI agent to your infrastructure. One server handles production access, debugging, alerts, and internal operations, with new capabilities added as packs. Agents can inspect real production state, debug what they shipped, and help resolve incidents. Safe reads run automatically; policy allows, blocks, or routes risky actions for approval. No SSH keys, VPNs, remote shells, or standing shell access โ and every call is recorded.
Enlightenment
Emisar.devNo features have been listed yet.
Enlightenment is ideal for users who appreciate high customizability and want a visually appealing and resource-efficient desktop environment. It's particularly recommended for those with older machines or anyone interested in a unique alternative to mainstream desktop environments.

Emisar.dev's answer:
emisar is for SRE, DevOps, platform engineering, infrastructure, and security teams that want AI agents to inspect and operate production systems. It is especially relevant to teams managing multiple Linux hosts, clusters, databases, cloud services, or regulated environments where unrestricted shell access and incomplete audit records are unacceptable.
Emisar.dev's answer:
The hosted control plane and operator interface use Elixir, Phoenix, LiveView, PostgreSQL, and Tailwind CSS. The host runner and MCP bridge are written in Go. Action packs use YAML and JSON Schema, while production infrastructure is managed with Terraform on Google Cloud. The system communicates through MCP, OAuth 2.1, TLS, and WebSockets.

Emisar.dev's answer:
Founder Andrii Dryga spent a decade working as a CTO, full-stack engineer, SRE, and DevOps engineer. He experienced the cost of running the wrong command on the wrong cluster, while also seeing AI solve operational problems in seconds. emisar grew from the need to preserve both truths: AI agents are useful, and production access must remain bounded. Its answer is to give agents a reviewed catalog of operations instead of a blank terminal.
Emisar.dev's answer:
emisar lets AI agents work on real infrastructure without giving them a shell. Agents choose from a finite catalog of typed, versioned actions. Policy decides what runs, what requires approval, and what is denied, while an outbound-only runner verifies the action again on the host. New capabilities arrive as packs behind the same MCP integration, and every request is recorded in both a searchable audit trail and a tamper-evident host journal. [
Emisar.dev's answer:
Choose emisar when you want an agent to keep investigating and handling routine operations without handing it SSH credentials or supervising every call. Compared with raw shell access, copy-paste workflows, or one-off MCP servers, emisar provides reviewed action contracts, host-level enforcement, risk-based policy, scoped access, approvals, pack integrity checks, and a durable audit trail. It is built specifically for governed infrastructure access rather than generic automation.

As for modern and sleek - isn't the default flat theme that's there now just that. It's what everyone wants? Flat? Sleek? Minimal shadows where needed for some borders/depth. Is the problem that it's dark? You can just select one of the light color palettes in the palette selector if that's what you want. Look at enlightenment.org and all the screenshots there now or just try the latest. Source: over 4 years ago
Don't give up too fast - it may be the thing you want exists and it just isn't where you expect it or there's a feature you just don't know is there. It may be it does something differently and it's odd at the start but then you get used to it and then suddenly you can't go back. This happened to people early in the E-0.17 rewrite where E would separate each screen and virtual desktops are switched separately per... Source: over 4 years ago
Hmmm... Not really. e uses about half the memory. I just updated the the about-enlightenment page on enlightenment.org with some numbers I took from an actual installed vm comparing e, xfce, gnome, kde, lxd, and lxqt. e is about 1/4 the mem of kde and even less than lxqt. You might find e is actually more customizable than kde if you dig into themes and how they work. They are sheer mountains of power if you want... Source: over 4 years ago
You could try Enlightenment, an old, forgotten gem. I use a distro designed for it (Elive Linux) but that's optional especially since the betas which are the only supported versions not using Debian Wheezy are using an "outdated-looking" (personally I like it) E16 desktop. Source: over 5 years ago
