Documentation β’ Website β’ Agenta Cloud
Agenta is an open-source workspace where you build specialized agents that automate and augment your work.
You build agents by chatting with them. You describe the work, connect the apps they need, and improve them through feedback.
You can work with your agents directly in chat and share them with your team.
For recurring work, you can build background agents. These agents run on a schedule or when an event occurs.
When you self-host Agenta, you can run agents locally with your existing Claude or ChatGPT subscription. You do not need to move every task to metered API billing.
Switch harnesses and models without rebuilding your agent. Agenta already supports almost any model, whether self-hosted or accessed through an API. Agenta supports Claude Code and Pi as harnesses today, with more harnesses planned.
Define your agent with AGENTS.md, skills, and MCP servers. You can bring skills and MCP servers from the agent ecosystem into Agenta.
Agenta traces every run and keeps a version history of each agent configuration. Use this history to understand failures, compare changes, and improve your agents over time.
Workspaces for you and your agents. Work with your agent on files in a shared workspace. Together, you can write documents, organize research, or maintain a wiki.
Human approval and permissions. Specify permissions for each tool. Choose which actions background agents can run automatically, which need your approval, and which are blocked.
Background agents. Run agents on a schedule or start them when an event occurs in a connected app.
Tracing, usage, and cost. Inspect every model and tool call. Track model requests, token usage, and estimated costs for each agent.
Team access. The open-source version lets you share agents with your team and control access by role.
Integrations. Connect your agents to the applications you use through MCP, or integrate with more than 1,000 apps through Composio, including Gmail, Slack, Notion, and GitHub.
The fastest way to try Agenta.
Paste this into your agent and it will walk you through setup and testing:
1. Install the Agenta self-hosting skill: npx skills add Agenta-AI/agenta-skills
2. Help me self-host Agenta with its repository.
For more details, read the self-hosting documentation.

These products are designed for building workflows with predefined steps. Agenta is designed for work that requires an agent to plan, use tools, and adapt its approach. Use a workflow builder for predictable processes. Use Agenta when the work needs judgment, or when you want the same agent to work with you in chat and run in the background.
Claude Cowork provides a workspace built around Claude. Agenta is open source and lets you choose your harness and model, inspect the components of your agents, and run them interactively or in the background.
These coding agents provide the execution layer that plans work and uses tools. Agenta adds the shared workspace around that execution layer: files, team access, triggers, versions, and traces. Agenta supports Claude Code and Pi today. Support for more harnesses is on the roadmap.
Agenta is open source under the MIT License. You can inspect the code, run it yourself, and help shape what we build next.
