What is OpenAgentCore?
OpenAgentCore is an open-source, self-hosted implementation of the OpenAI Agents API. It allows developers to run AI coding agents — Codex, Claude Code, and MiniMax Code — on their own infrastructure with any compatible model provider, using the standard OpenAI SDK by simply setting OPENAI_BASE_URL. The system consists of a Core control plane (with PostgreSQL persistence), a Web console for administration, and a Runtime that executes agent sessions inside sandboxed environments. It supports multiple sandbox providers including microsandbox (with checkpoint/resume), E2B, Docker, and self-hosted sessions on bare metal or VMs. Workspaces persist independently of compute. The project is MIT-licensed and developed by MiniMax-AI. It is currently in pre-1.0 development (v0.0.12 stable, v0.0.13-rc.2 pre-release) with active development.
Should you self-host OpenAgentCore?
OpenAgentCore scores 46/100 on selfhost.directory (how scoring works) and ranks #132 of 209 in AI Agents. It has 302 GitHub stars.
It shipped 6 stable releases in the past year. The latest, v0.0.13, came out on 25 October 2026. New versions land roughly every 5 days.
Setup is advanced: plan for several services and some ongoing maintenance. It is MIT-licensed and written mostly in Go.
Its closest alternative on selfhost.directory is Orca (91/100, 108 642 stars). It scores higher overall, so compare the two before you pick. See OpenAgentCore vs Orca side by side.
