# Claurst

> A clean-room Rust reimplementation of Claude Code — a powerful terminal AI coding agent with 33+ tools, multi-agent orchestration, and MCP integration.

Claurst is an async Rust rewrite of the Claude Code terminal agent. Built from exhaustive behavioral specifications, it reproduces the same tool semantics, permission model, agentic query loop, and MCP protocol support — all in idiomatic Rust using Tokio, ratatui, and clap.

## What is Claurst?

Claurst brings the full Claude Code experience to Rust. It runs as an interactive terminal application powered by [ratatui](https://ratatui.rs), streams responses from the Claude API, and executes tools with your permission — reading and writing files, running bash commands, searching the web, spawning sub-agents, and much more.

<Note>
  Claurst is a clean-room reimplementation. No original Claude Code TypeScript source was used — only behavioral specifications derived from public analysis. See the [introduction](/introduction) for details on the legal and engineering approach.
