The open-source agent ecosystem

Self-Hosting Quickstart

Run this command on your server machine (any always-on machine will do):

# Linux, macOS
curl -fsSL https://mainplane.ai/install | sh -s -- server quickstart
Windows
& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm https://mainplane.ai/install.ps1))) server quickstart

The quickstart walks you through adding a provider, workers (computers your agents control) and connectors (ways to message your agents).

Features

Always-on

• Mainplane turns any computers into an always-on local AI shed. Agents keep working when your laptop is closed.

Bring your keys and subscriptions

• Use the regular limits of a Claude Code or ChatGPT Codex subscription, or an API key with any model.

Chat from anywhere

• Use Mainplane's first-class TUI or the sessions API. All messages stay synced.

Private mesh network

• Mainplane connects agents and computers with fine-grained security controls. No Tailscale needed.

Shared file drives

• A remote filesystem that multiple agents can access concurrently without risk of de-sync.

Context and cost efficient

• Mainplane uses just 3k tokens of system context. Agents see their own context usage and optimize it.

Browser and computer use

• Mainplane drives real browsers with their logins and has native computer use.

Control plane security

• API keys stay on your server isolated from the other workers where agents run.

Durable and observable sessions

• Agent state = one readable file that can be resumed if stopped.

Performant and open-source

• Mainplane runs as one Go binary, source code is under MIT license.
