We built OXAMP because we were tired of heavy, battery-draining local web development stacks that lag on modern Macs or break when AI tools start writing code.
OXAMP is a blazing-fast, native PHP development environment engineered specifically for Apple Silicon (M1–M4). It comes with Apache, MariaDB, PHP, and phpMyAdmin out of the box—built to run with near-zero memory footprint. But what truly sets OXAMP apart is built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) support: your AI coding agents like Claude Code or Cursor can safely manage databases, configure local vhosts, and spin up WordPress or Laravel environments without compromising your system security.
No bloated Docker containers, no monthly SaaS subscriptions—just pure, native Mac performance for web developers who want total control over their local environment.
Features
