Operate a local multi-agent workforce with Eigent
Use Eigent when an operator needs a local desktop agent workforce that can coordinate developer, browser, document, multimodal, model-provider, and MCP-backed work in one controlled environment.
Prerequisites
Eigent desktop/frontend, local backend, Docker/PostgreSQL for local mode, model provider credentials or local models, optional MCP servers
Installation
Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- git clone https://github.com/eigent-ai/eigent.git
- npm install
- npm run dev
- uv sync
Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- Node.js (version 18-22) and npm
- Note: This mode connects to Eigent cloud services and requires account registration. For a fully standalone experience, use Local Deployment instead.
Basic usage or getting-started notes:
The recommended way to run Eigent — fully standalone with complete control over your data, no cloud account required.
