Today, we announce that SmythOS is now licensed under MIT. Build and deploy autonomous AI agents with our complete toolkit: Agent LLMs, MCP servers, runtime, SDK, and CLI. Together, we can keep the internet of Agents open and free for all humanity. Join us!
We’re thrilled to open up the core of SmythOS: the agent runtime, CLI, and SDK, under the MIT license. Think of it as the Linux kernel for agents: secure, stateful, modular. This is the infrastructure for the agentic web and everything you need to build and launch aligned production agents.
Why now? The next internet won’t just be humans browsing, it’ll be agents acting. Like TCP/IP and HTTP shaped the last era, new protocols (like MCP, A2A, AGP) will shape this one. We want to make sure it stays free and open.
What's new:
🌐 SmythOS Runtime, CLI, and SDK — MIT license onGitHub
🧰 Visual builder open source later this year
🧠 MCP protocol — full server & client implementation now available
🕸️ Agents with full browser control via headless Chromium
🗣️ Publish agents as AI LLMs — wrap logic, memory, tools into a callable model endpoint
📊 New debug tooling, analytics, and UX improvements for better developer experience
🧵 Weaver 2.0 — our upgraded system for vibe coding agents with intuitive, modular flows
What stays the same:
Our hosted Agent Studio continues to offer enterprise features, collaboration tools, and expert support.

🎁 Bonus: The first 100 GitHub stars who join our Discord get the "SmythOS Pioneer" role + access to exclusive feedback sessions with our engineers. DM Franklin on Discord to claim!
Who we are: A bootstrapped team of 40 builders who left a successful exit to shape the next era of AI. We’ve been building SmythOS full-time since Spring 2023 — for developers, by developers.
🦙 Ride the llama. 🐱 Skip the drama.
We can’t wait to see what you build with SmythOS.

Who hunted SmythOS?
SmythOS was hunted by Chris Messina. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community. See the full all-time top hunters leaderboard to discover who is shaping the Product Hunt ecosystem.
