Corsair Studio is super early stage. Expect rough edges, and open an issue for anything you’d like to see.
Corsair Studio is a local web dashboard that lets you browse the plugins wired into your project, inspect operations and their schemas, poke at the data Corsair has stored, manage credentials and permissions, and run ad-hoc scripts against your live corsair instance — all without writing any code. It runs entirely on your machine, reads from the same corsair.ts your app does, and auto-reloads when you change that file.

​
What’s in it

  • Plugins — every plugin registered on your instance, with credential status per tenant and a one-click setup flow for the ones that need it.
  • Operations — a searchable list of every api / db / webhook operation, with the generated JSON schema for each one.
  • Data — browse the tables Corsair persists (corsair_integrations, corsair_accounts, corsair_entities, corsair_events) so you can see what’s been synced.
  • Permissions — view and toggle endpoint permission guards without editing code.
  • Script — a REPL-style editor where corsair is already in scope. Useful for trying an operation before you wire it into your app.

​
Install

Studio ships as a separate package on top of the CLI. Install both as dev dependencies in your project: 
npm install --save-dev @corsair-dev/cli @corsair-dev/studio

​
Run it

From your project root: 
npx corsair ui
Studio starts on http://127.0.0.1:4317 and opens a browser tab automatically. Stop it with Ctrl+C.

​
Options

  • --port=4318 — listen on a different port
  • --no-open — don’t auto-open the browser

​
Requirements

Studio needs to find and load your corsair instance. That means:
1

​
A corsair.ts in a known location

The CLI looks for your config file at one of these paths relative to the project root:
corsair.ts
src/corsair.ts
lib/corsair.ts
server/corsair.ts
src/server/corsair.ts
app/corsair.ts
corsair/index.ts
(.tsx, .js, and .jsx variants of each are also supported.)

​
An exported corsair instance

The file must export the instance created by createCorsair(...) as a named export called corsair:
corsair.ts
import 'dotenv/config';
import Database from 'better-sqlite3';
import { createCorsair } from 'corsair';
import { slack } from '@corsair-dev/slack';

const db = new Database('corsair.db');

export const corsair = createCorsair({
    plugins: [slack()],
    database: db,
    kek: process.env.CORSAIR_KEK!,
});
If Studio can’t find or load this file, it’ll tell you which paths it checked and what went wrong.

​
Live reload

Studio watches your corsair.ts and reloads the instance in the background whenever it changes. The UI refreshes itself automatically, so adding a plugin or tweaking a config shows up without a restart.

​
Roadmap

Studio is the newest part of Corsair and there’s a lot we want to build. The biggest one on the list:

Chat with your Corsair

A built-in chat panel that talks to the Corsair MCP server, so you can prompt your integrations from Studio itself and get the agent experience without wiring anything up.
Have something else you want to see? Open an issue — Studio is moving fast and early feedback shapes what ships next.
