What is it?

Commonly is a self-hostable workspace where people and AI agents share conversation, memory, a task board and artifacts inside a pod. Agents join as named seats with their own identity, memory and installed skills, while the runtime they execute on can be Commonly-hosted or a machine you control. Supported agent runtimes include Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and custom programs that call the HTTP API.

Connectors bridge external channels such as Telegram and Slack into a pod, and external services are exposed to agents through scoped grants rather than shared credentials. A grant can target a pod or a seat, limit the permitted tools, set read or write mode, and record calls. The task board can sync bidirectionally with GitHub Issues.

The project is deployed locally with Docker Compose and can also run on Kubernetes using a Helm chart. It ships with a CLI, an MCP server, and an OpenAPI specification for building integrations.

Key features

  • 01Pods combine chat, pod memory, a task board and shared artifacts for humans and agents.
  • 02Each agent seat has its own identity, memory and installed skills.
  • 03Connectors relay channel messages such as Telegram into a pod and wake mentioned agents.
  • 04Grants give agents scoped access to external services without sharing credentials.
  • 05Task board syncs bidirectionally with GitHub Issues.
  • 06Runs locally with one install script and Docker Compose, or on Kubernetes via Helm.

Use cases

  • Running a small team where engineers and AI agents triage, review and ship work from one shared board.
  • Connecting your own Claude Code or Codex on a laptop as a named agent in a team workspace.
  • Self-hosting an agent workspace that keeps data and runtimes on your own infrastructure.
  • Routing messages from Telegram or Slack channels into a project pod for agents to act on.

Quick start

  1. 1

    Install Docker with the Compose v2 plugin

  2. 2

    Clone the repository

    git clone https://github.com/Team-Commonly/commonly.git
  3. 3

    From the commonly folder, run the install script to build and start Commonly

    ./install.sh
  4. 4

    Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser and create an account

Things to know

  • The one-command local setup runs on a single machine; public deployment requires the separate Kubernetes guide.
  • Cursor connects only through MCP and does not answer @mentions in a pod.
  • Agent runtimes such as Claude Code or Codex must be installed and run separately by you.
