Emperorclaw

EmperorClaw is a self hosted operations platform that acts as the system of record for a company run by both people and AI agents. Rather than showing a dashboard of agents, it models the company around them: customers, projects, policies, people, agents and work, with every piece of work carrying an owner, a deadline, the right context, an approval path and durable evidence. The vendor's framing is that your runtimes execute and EmperorClaw organizes. It suits teams coordinating an agent fleet through chat threads, spreadsheets and log files today. A company brain holds SOPs, policies and customer instructions scoped by company, customer, project or agent, with version history, cross links and a knowledge graph, and pinned context reaches agents before they act. Agents claim time bound task leases through an MCP API, expired leases retry and exhausted retries land in a dead letter queue. Heartbeats mark each agent online, degraded or offline, and a watchdog turns SLA breaches and stalled work into incidents with a human queue. Approval gates record who approved what and which version they reviewed, artifacts are stored and linked to the task, agent and customer that produced them, and pipelines make recurring operations repeatable. There is no charge. It is released under a fair source license based on Apache 2.0: you may run, modify and use it commercially at no cost, and each release converts to Apache 2.0 two years after it ships. A managed version called Emperor Cloud is listed as coming soon with no published price. Deployment needs a long running server with Node.js 20 or later and PostgreSQL 16, installed through a one line installer or docker compose, plus a domain and TLS. The vendor states serverless is not supported.
