As of August 29, 2026 the main repository is OpenHands/OpenHands and presents Agent Canvas, described as a self-hosted control centre for coding agents and automations, in beta. It can run the OpenHands agent or third-party agents including Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini via the Agent-Client Protocol, connect to multiple agent backends (local, Docker, VM, or the commercial OpenHands Cloud), and trigger automations on a schedule or by webhook through services such as Slack, GitHub, and Linear. The repository is MIT licensed and reports 85,500 stars and 11,200 forks. The documentation warns that the sandbox-free installation gives the agent full access to the host filesystem. Work is split across four repositories, with the Python SDK and agent server in OpenHands/software-agent-sdk.
"The self-hosted developer control center for coding agents and automations ... Use with OpenHands, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, or any agent with Agent-Client Protocol (ACP) ... This runs the agent-server directly on the machine you're installing on — the agent will have full access to your filesystem!"
