nablr
AI-powered SDLC governance via Model Context Protocol.
nablr (pronounced like "enabler") connects to your AI assistant (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf) and enforces quality gates across your entire software delivery lifecycle — 19 expert personas, 40+ local code scanners, full workflow orchestration.
Documentation: docs.nablr.dev
Why nablr
AI assistants accelerate typing, not engineering.
| What they promised | What actually happens |
|---|---|
| Ship faster | More code, same bugs |
| Higher quality | AI-generated tech debt |
| Reduce costs | Increased rework cycles |
nablr is the orchestration layer that fixes this: quality enforcement, workflow context, and persistent state injected directly into your AI assistant via MCP.

Personas
19 expert agents covering every SDLC phase: Discovery, Product Manager, QA Lead, Specifier, Architect, Developer, Tester, Test Designer, PR Reviewer, Scrum Master, Security Owner, Forensic Engineer, Strategist, Platform Engineer, Impact Architect, Migration Planner, Parity Tester, Cutover Engineer.
discovery and platform_engineer are permanently free.
Security
nablr makes exactly one category of outbound call: license validation to nablr-api.nablrco.workers.dev:443. Your code never leaves your machine.
Paid assets are pre-cached to ~/.nablr_cache/assets/ on activation — all subsequent prompt generation works fully offline.
# Verify no unexpected network calls
uv run python scripts/airgap_proof.py
