Collecting history — the radar snapshots this repo daily. The trend line appears after 3 days of data (2 so far).
What it is
Open-source CMA-compatible agent runtime for running multi-agent systems locally. It includes a Claude Managed Agents-style Console, a /v1 API, and runtime metadata stored in SQLite outside the project by default. It supports local, Docker, and self-hosted sandboxes, MCP toolsets, and adapters for multiple model vendors. It targets enterprise teams with sessions, tools, memory stores, credential vaults, audit trails, and replayable events.
How it works
The runtime exposes:
- Claude Managed Agents-style Console and /v1 endpoints
- SQLite-backed data for agents, skills, sessions, environments, credential vaults, memory stores, API keys, and file metadata
- Resumable Server-Sent Events for session timelines, debugging, audit, and replay
- Local API keys and bearer-token authentication for shared runtimes
- Local, Docker, and self-hosted sandbox providers It provides a dashboard for managing agents, sessions, environments, keys, and resources, plus an API reference and a CLI.
Getting started
Install options include:
- Use the CLI with
npx:
npx managed-agents init
npx managed-agents start
Or install globally:
npm install -g managed-agents
managed-agents init
managed-agents start
For source builds:
git clone git@github.com:sandbaseai/managed-agents.git
cd managed-agents
npm ci
npm run build
Then create and run an agent workspace outside the source checkout:
mkdir ../my-agents
cd ../my-agents
node ../managed-agents/dist/index.js init
node ../managed-agents/dist/index.js start
Run a workspace:
mkdir my-agents
cd my-agents
npx managed-agents init
Start the runtime:
npx managed-agents start
# source checkout:
# node /path/to/managed-agents/dist/index.js start
Open the dashboard at http://127.0.0.1:3000/dashboard and configure models under Settings.
