If OtoDock is useful to you, a star on this repository helps other people find it.

OtoDock acts as the brain of your company. You create powerful agents that connect to the tools your company runs on, work in departments, delegate to each other, and keep working on their own when no one is watching. It is multi-tenant by design. Many people work with the same agents, and there are four modes that decide how an agent is shared and where its work lands. You work with your agents on your self-hosted dashboard, or you can even give them a phone line and talk to them. All of it runs on your own Anthropic and OpenAI subscriptions, and on local models.

Every agent gets a name and a job, like a Personal Assistant, a System Admin or a Marketing Manager, and runs on your server. An agent is made of six parts, and you can edit every one of them.

• Persona. Plain-language instructions tell the agent who it is and how it works.
• Memory. The agent keeps its own notes across chats.
• Workspace. The folder where the everyday work lands. It is private for each person, shared by the whole team, or both, depending on the agent's mode.
• Knowledge. Reference documents are always on hand.
• Skills. The agent learns techniques it can apply to its work.
• Tools. The agent uses only what it is allowed to use.

Every agent has a mode that decides how people share it.

Admins add each person to the agents they need.

Claude Code runs on your Anthropic subscription, and Codex runs on your ChatGPT subscription. Every user connects their own subscription. Local models on your own hardware work as well. You pick the engine per agent, and you can switch it per chat.

Agents run on any schedule, when a webhook event fires, or once at a time you choose. They work in your workspace, where their reports, files and updates land, and they notify you when something needs you. Notifications come in four severities, from a quiet chime to a persistent danger alarm. Every run is a full chat you can open, read and continue, so no one has to be watching.

Agents answer and place phone calls. Bring your own Twilio account, or connect the Asterisk or FreePBX server you already run.

By default, all your agents run on your server, in an isolated sandbox, with one dashboard controlling all of them. You can also pair a laptop, a workstation or a PC running macOS, Linux or Windows with a one-line install. The machine keeps a single outbound connection to your server, so it needs no open ports, and its files stay in sync. The same agent then runs on that machine with full access to it, and you work with it from the same dashboard, anywhere. If the machine goes offline, your server takes over.

Agents are powerful, so OtoDock assumes they can't be trusted. Every server-side agent runs inside a kernel sandbox with always-on network isolation, and you grant access one service at a time.

• A kernel sandbox around every agent. Each session runs in its own mount and process namespace. Folders are mounted automatically from each user's role per agent.
• Network isolation. Private ranges, your LAN, and cloud metadata endpoints are unreachable by design. MCP tools that need a local service can be granted scoped access by the admin, per agent.
• Secure credentials. Credentials are encrypted at rest and injected only per session. Agents can use them, but never see them.
• Ready for teams. SSO sign-in, two-factor auth, and per-user cost budgets come standard, from the first install.

One platform, the whole toolkit.

• Memory that persists. Agents keep transparent, editable memory files, per user and per agent.
• Documents and files. Agents create and edit Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files, and every file opens in a live editor inside the chat.
• Images. Agents generate and edit images in the chat, and a professional-grade pipeline handles photo editing.
• Video and audio. Agents generate footage and transitions, cut timelines, add captions, voice-overs and music, transcribe audio and video into text and subtitles, and produce speech and music of their own.
• Web browsing. The browser tool from the community catalog lets agents research the live web.
• Built-in tools. Schedules, triggers, notifications, meetings, delegation, phone calls, file transfer between agents, live charts and mini-apps, SSH hosts, and browser and computer control on paired machines all ship with the platform.
• Community catalog. Ready-made agents, tools and skills install in one click, with GitHub, Notion, Home Assistant, Nextcloud, Prometheus, UniFi and Uptime Kuma among them, and more landing regularly.
• Extensible by design. Any MCP tool server installs from a manifest, and tools are assigned per agent.
• Usage and budgets. Costs are tracked per user and per agent, with weekly or monthly limits.
• Team-ready security. SSO and OIDC, two-factor auth, per-agent roles, encrypted credentials and scoped API keys come from day one.

A Linux server with Docker is all you need (4 GB RAM minimum, see the sizing guide). Create a folder for the install, then run the script in it:

mkdir otodock && cd otodock
curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OtoDock/oto-dock/main/scripts/install.sh
bash install.sh

The installer checks Docker, writes a .env with a generated database password, handles the Ubuntu 24.04+ host step automatically when the host needs it, downloads the release-pinned docker-compose.yml plus the phone-service overlay, and starts the stack. Everything lands in the folder you run it from. The script performs fresh installs only, and stops rather than touch an existing install.

If your users browse to the server by name or IP, set DASHBOARD_PUBLIC_URL in the generated .env. Behind a reverse proxy, also set TRUSTED_PROXY to your proxy's IP (reverse proxy & HTTPS). Every optional knob is documented in the Configuration reference, and the installation guide also covers building from source, bare-metal development, and running behind a reverse proxy with HTTPS.

Open http://localhost:8400 and the setup wizard greets you. Create the owner account, and OtoDock installs the Personal Assistant for you, with the tools it needs. Connect your Claude or ChatGPT subscription under Setup, AI Engines, and the banner that reminds you goes away. Open the Personal Assistant from the Agents page and send it your first message. Its reply streams in live, with every tool call and every file it creates (First run). From there you add agents from the community catalog or build your own, and you add the people who will work with them.

 dashboard/   React dashboard — chat, agents, tasks, files, admin
 proxy/       Platform core (FastAPI) — sessions, security, scheduling,
              the agent sandbox, and the WebSocket hub the dashboard talks to
 mcps/        MCP tool servers: OtoDock's custom set (files, memory, tasks,
              meetings, notifications, …) + community mirrors
 audio/       Speech package — STT / TTS / voice activity, provider-agnostic
 phone/       Telephony daemon — live calls over Twilio or FreePBX/Asterisk
 satellite/   Remote-machine agent — pairs your own hardware to the platform
 scripts/     Install, compose, backup/restore, and maintainer tooling

Agents run as Claude Code / Codex processes inside per-session kernel sandboxes, talk to their tools over MCP, and stream every step back to the dashboard. PostgreSQL holds the platform state.

OtoDock is fair source: licensed under the Functional Source License, v1.1, with Apache 2.0 future grant (FSL-1.1-Apache-2.0). You can use, run, modify, and redistribute it for anything except competing with OtoDock commercially — and each version automatically becomes plain Apache 2.0 two years after its release.

Self-hosting is free for up to 5 users. Growing teams license by seats. Same software, signed key, no feature gates on your data or your agents.

OtoDock started with Claude Code. I wanted to use it beyond the terminal and connect it to my services. So I built the platform around that idea. It has since become the place where my own agents work: large parts of OtoDock were built, tested, and shipped by agents running on OtoDock.

It's fair source so you can run it the same way for your company, and you can share your builds in the discussions.
