OpenAgent

Model-agnostic by design

Claude CLI/API, Z.ai GLM, Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint keep the same memory, MCP tools, and operating surface.

Persistent memory

Keep context, notes, and follow-up state alive beyond a single chat window. OpenAgent is built for long-running agent behavior, not one-off prompts.

MCP tool runtime

Filesystem, editor, browser, web, messaging, memory, and scheduler tooling stay attached to the agent no matter which model you run.

Channels and scheduling

Expose the same agent through Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, desktop, and CLI with recurring tasks, stop controls, and status updates.

Obsidian-native memory

Notes stay as plain markdown with wikilinks and frontmatter, so the vault is inspectable, portable, and easy to open in Obsidian.

Three independent apps

Install the Agent Server where the runtime should live, then add the CLI Client or Desktop App separately from GitHub Releases.

Start with the right download

OpenAgent is one system, but you install each surface independently. Most setups run the Agent Server on the host where the agent should live, then add either the CLI Client or the Desktop App from a separate download.

Agent Server

The persistent runtime in openagent/. This is the actual agent process with models, MCP tools, memory, channels, scheduler, and install or auto-update behavior.

Download the server

CLI Client

A separate terminal client for connecting to any running OpenAgent Gateway. Use it when you want fast operational access without the desktop UI.

Download the CLI

Desktop App

The Electron control surface for chat, memory, MCP configuration, model setup, and graph exploration. It connects to a running Agent Server and is downloaded independently.

How teams typically use it

1. Run the Agent Server

Install openagent-framework on the machine that should keep memory, channels, models, and schedules alive.

2. Pick your client

Use the CLI Client for terminal-first operations, the Desktop App for visual control, or both.

3. Change models without changing the system

Swap Claude, GLM, Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint while keeping the same tools, memory, and channels.
