Federated app store for self-hosted AI agents (Apache-2.0)

Self-hosted app store for AI agents. Federated discovery, container isolation, run on your infrastructure.

The problem: most organizations either build every agent in-house or send their data to third-party servers.

You wouldn't build your own email client or maps app - you'd download one. AI agents should work the same way. I spent a year building the infrastructure to make that possible: discover agents built by others, run them on your infrastructure (private cloud, on-premises, or local) without sending your data to third-party servers.

Key architecture:

Federated Git-based index (fork-based ownership, no gatekeepers)
Container isolation + egress proxy (you configure which URLs agents can access)
Credential injection (API keys configured on host, not in agent images)
Model abstraction (works with Ollama local, cloud APIs, or hybrid)
Hash-chained audit logs

The platform works. The agent index is mostly empty, but someone has to build the rails so the trains can run.

Apache-2.0 open source. Pre-release but functional.

Looking for:

Agent builders to publish to the index
Security researchers to review the architecture
Organizations that need self-hosted AI infrastructure
