Omnara

The open-source alternative to Claude Managed Agents

Visit Omnara

Omnara is an open-source API for running agents in production. It handles agent execution and state, while developers choose the models, tools, machines, and user interfaces for each agent. The platform is designed to reduce the infrastructure work teams otherwise build themselves, supporting agents embedded in product dashboards, internal Slack agents, specialized workflows such as code review, and interactive CLI experiences.

Key capabilities include durable agent state that survives failures, support for any machine (including managed machines, connected provider accounts, or a daemon on a laptop, VM, or container), access controls with human approval for risky tool calls, encrypted scoped secrets, role-based access, and append-only audit history. Agents can be launched, steered, and observed through a REST API, TypeScript SDK, or CLI. The platform is model-agnostic, supporting OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, LiteLLM, or self-hosted models, and integrates with MCP servers, reusable skills, and Slack.

Omnara is aimed at teams building internal agents or agentic experiences for their users. The platform itself is free, with no per-seat fees; bring your own model keys and machines at no charge, or pay as you go for Omnara-managed models at provider token rates and machines billed by active time and storage. Self-hosting is free under the Apache 2.0 license. An Enterprise edition adds deployment, integrations, SSO, access controls, audit-log setup, custom integrations, security reviews, and support.
