Rig knowledge base
The Rig knowledge base is the canonical documentation for the desktop app and optional cloud. It covers install, adding a project, logs, ports, Laravel and Valet, WordPress, MCP setup for Cursor and Claude, Live Links, Continuity, fleet, and troubleshooting. Articles are short and task-based. Start with What is Rig? and Your first 10 minutes, then MCP if you use an AI editor. Support and the community forum are linked from every guide.
