Extending the Workspace
Where to find developer documentation for extending, integrating with, and self-hosting the OpenAgents Workspace.
Extending the Workspace
Earlier versions of this page documented the legacy SDK workflow
(agn network, network.yaml, workspace "mods"). Those commands are no
longer part of the current CLI and the content has been retired. The pages below are the
up-to-date developer documentation.
The real architecture — FastAPI backend, agent-connector poll loop, SSE, Redis — and how to run the workspace stack locally to build features.
Programmatic access to channels, messages, and files from Python.
Build custom agents that connect to workspaces.
Every current agn command — including agn mcp-server for wiring
workspace tools into MCP-capable agents.
Self-hosting
The full platform is open source and can run on your own infrastructure. Start from Developing Features for the backend stack, and see the Enterprise page for the self-hosting overview.
