## Available artifacts

| Platform | Desktop | Edge CLI and hooks | Operator CLI |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| macOS Apple Silicon | `.dmg` | Available | Available |
| macOS Intel | No Intel desktop artifact | Available | Available |
| Windows x64 | `.exe` installer | Available | Available |
| Windows ARM64 | x64 desktop under emulation; no native ARM64 installer | Native ARM64 CLI | Native ARM64 CLI |
| Linux x64 / ARM64 | No desktop artifact | Released x64 / ARM64 archives | Available |

Use the current downloads for your platform and keep Edge up to date. On Linux, hooks and MCP clients run through the CLI without a desktop app or packaged systemd service.

[Download Edge](https://kastra.ai/edge/download.html) or use the [installation guide](https://docs.kastra.ai/edge/install). The desktop and standalone CLI release channels have different signing properties. Check the selected artifact; do not assume that a signed desktop installer implies every standalone archive is signed.

## Agent coverage

Kastra has hook integrations for Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, OpenClaw, and Hermes. Follow the agent-specific setup guide and verify an allow, deny, and approval flow on your platform.

On Windows, validated hook coverage includes Claude Code on Windows 11 ARM64. For Cursor or Codex on Windows, confirm compatibility with Kastra before relying on enforcement.

## Windows shell names

The Edge hook maps the Windows shell spelling to `Bash`. Keep your hooks up to date: older installations may send a different name and miss a rule scoped to `Bash`. Combine the tool and OS attributes when you need a Windows-specific rule.

## More ways to integrate

Connect remote tools through [hosted MCP](https://docs.kastra.ai/mcp/hosted-status), subject to workspace enablement and server/client compatibility. For custom applications, use the [evaluation API](https://docs.kastra.ai/reference/evaluate) today. The [TypeScript SDK](https://docs.kastra.ai/reference/sdk) is coming soon.
