Hey all, Rich here, I built Rig.
Short version of why. I kept watching my assistant write good code and then have absolutely no idea it was running against a dead database, or that the port it wanted was already taken by something from three projects ago. I was the courier, copying terminal output into a chat window so the assistant could tell me what I already knew. That got old fast.
Rig is the fix. One window for every local process, database, port and log on your Mac, and a local MCP hub that lets Claude, Cursor and the rest actually see and act on that environment instead of guessing at it. Nothing leaves your machine and nothing happens without you confirming it first.
