Gateway-Centered Design
All important work happens in the gateway: the default workspace, threads, turns, tools, MCP, skills, tasks, provider settings, auth, and durable storage.Local Or Remote Deployment
Run a gateway on your personal computer for a local assistant, or host gateways on separate servers for work, study, home, or other isolated environments.One Desktop, Many Gateways
Connect the desktop app to any number of gateways and switch between them from one native client.Thread Modes
Use Chat mode for direct conversations and Agent mode when the thread should plan, use tools, and work through multi-step tasks.Multi-Agent Workflows
The gateway can automatically fan work out to subagents with their own prompts, roles, models, context policies, tool policies, result contracts, and child threads.Bring Your Own Model
Pioneer includes providers for OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Gemini, Azure OpenAI, Bedrock, Ollama, Copilot, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Kilo CLI, and many OpenAI-compatible endpoints.Keystore-Backed Secrets
Provider API keys, MCP env/header secrets, superuser JWT signing material, and desktop gateway bearer tokens are stored inkeystore.db, not in ordinary config tables.
Real Tools
Agents can use shell sessions, file reads and edits, patch application, grep, web search and fetch, URL downloads, computer use, MCP tool proxying, and dynamic skill tools.MCP Servers
Install and manage servers compatible with Model Context Protocol per gateway and current workspace, track their health and catalog, and expose their tools to agents through the gateway.Skills
Pioneer supports skills compatible with the Agent Skills specification, including installation, validation, trust gates, dependency preflight, gateway and current workspace availability, upload flow, and health diagnostics.Tasks
Run scheduled and on-demand tasks with dependencies, retries, delivery state, progress events, write locks, and task trees.Protocol-First Architecture
pioneer-protocol defines the public JSON-RPC surface and generated schemas under schemas/.
