What is it?

Paperclip is a Node.js server and React UI for running a team of AI agents toward business goals. You bring your own agents, such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw or HTTP-based bots, and assign them goals and tasks from one dashboard. Each agent can use its own model and runtime while tasks, skills, permissions and history stay in a single place.

The app is organized around an org chart with roles, reporting lines and budgets, plus task threads with comments, documents and run history. It tracks token and cost spend by company, agent, project and model, sends threshold alerts, and can pause work at configured limits. Approval stages, agent pause and resume, and revisioned configuration changes provide governance.

Paperclip also includes scheduled routines triggered by cron, webhooks or an API, a skill editor with saved test inputs, a plugin system, company import and export, and support for multiple organizations in one deployment. Locally it starts with an embedded PostgreSQL database; for production you can point it at your own Postgres.

Key features

  • 01Org chart with roles, reporting lines and per-agent budgets
  • 02Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenClaw and HTTP bots
  • 03Task threads with comments, documents, attachments and run history
  • 04Token and cost tracking with budget thresholds and automatic pauses
  • 05Scheduled routines triggered by cron, webhooks or API
  • 06Skill editor and shared skills with version history

Use cases

  • Running several coding agents on a shared backlog without losing track of who is doing what
  • Setting spend limits and alerts for autonomous agents that run continuously
  • Automating recurring jobs such as support triage, reports or social posts with audit history
  • Managing multiple agent-run businesses or teams from a single self-hosted deployment

Things to know

  • The README excerpt gives no install or run commands; its quickstart section is not included here.
  • Agent Chat and the chat and email connectors are experimental and must be enabled in instance settings.
  • It is self-hosted, so you run and maintain the Node.js server and React UI yourself; a hosted Paperclip Cloud is only on a waitlist.
