AI product Open source · MIT
Paperclip is an open-source, self-hosted control plane for organizing and running teams of AI agents. Its Node.js server and React UI let users define company goals, assign agents roles and tasks, and monitor work, budgets, approvals, costs, and audit activity from a shared dashboard.
Agents run through scheduled or event-based heartbeats. The system maintains organization charts, goal ancestry, task dependencies, persistent session state, isolated workspaces, scoped secrets, runtime skill injection, and atomic task checkout with budget enforcement. It supports agent adapters and runtimes including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Bash, HTTP/webhook agents, and plugins; recurring routines can create tracked issues and wake assigned agents.
Paperclip supports multiple isolated companies in one deployment, governance and approval gates, cost hard stops, agent pause/resume/termination, company export and import with secret scrubbing, and optional OpenTelemetry and Sentry integrations. It can be installed through the Paperclip CLI or run from source; local setups use embedded PostgreSQL and file storage, while production deployments can use an external PostgreSQL database. The project is distributed under the MIT license.
