About Observal
Observal is a self hosted, open source registry for the extensions that teams build for coding agents, with an insight engine built in. It gives a company one place to store, version and review its skills, MCP servers, hooks, prompts and agents, instead of each team keeping private copies.
The registry supports a range of agent harnesses, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Kiro, Copilot in VS Code, Copilot CLI, OpenCode, Antigravity, Goose and Pi. An agent can be written once and installed for each tool, and a whole agent can be pulled with one command. Teamspaces give each team its own namespace, which can stay private or be made public after review, and items install as team and agent names. A discovery feature speaks Agentic Resource Discovery, so a compatible client can describe a task and ask the registry what exists.
Observal also records traces. Sessions from each harness become structured traces covering prompts, tool calls, MCP round trips, tokens and errors, captured by hooks. Insights attach to each agent and report what is going wrong, the numbers behind it and suggested prompt changes.
The intended user is a platform or engineering team standardizing agent tooling across an organization. One Docker Compose command starts the registry with its Postgres, ClickHouse and Redis services on the customer's own infrastructure, so components, sessions and data stay in house. The software is free under the Apache 2.0 license, installs through the observal cli package, and the site publishes no paid plans.
