Hangar

Hangar is a single-binary Windows app that gives you Apache, Nginx, MySQL, PostgreSQL, multiple PHP versions, Node, Mailpit, mkcert SSL, a built-in DNS server for *.test domains, and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. An open-source alternative to XAMPP, WAMP, and Laragon. Hangar is the first PHP and database stack manager with first-class AI tool integration: connect Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-capable agent and let it manage services, run SQL, audit schemas, and toggle SSL on your behalf. Features include one-click service management, multi-version PHP switchable per project, auto-generated vhosts, local HTTPS via embedded mkcert, a built-in DNS server, a server-side database auditor that emits runnable SQL migration files, and a unified launcher for phpMyAdmin, HeidiSQL, DBeaver, VS Code, PocketBase, and Mailpit.
