TL;DR: Hire agents. Connect tools. Organize them into projects with a UI that fits the job. Track every token and dollar. Self-host or use the cloud.

What is Deco CMS?

Studio is where you hire agents, connect tools, and organize them into projects that actually do things.

Agents come with real skills and battle-tested prompts. Connections give them access to your tools — GitHub, Slack, Postgres, OpenRouter, anything that speaks MCP — set up through a web UI with one-click OAuth. Projects bring agents and connections together around a goal: each project gets its own sidebar and UI, shaped by what's inside it.

Everything is tracked — tokens, costs, errors, latency — per connection, per agent. Install locally and it stays private. Sync to the cloud for remote access, team roles, and shared billing.

Or clone and run from source:

git clone https://github.com/decocms/studio.git
bun install
bun run dev

runs at http://localhost:3000 (client) + API server

What you get

Agents

Browse and hire specialized AI agents from the built-in store. Each agent knows how to use specific tools and comes with battle-tested prompts. Agents compose — they can call each other — and every action is tracked with cost attribution.

Connections

Set up MCP connections through a web UI with one-click OAuth. No JSON configs. Monitor latency, errors, and costs per connection. Share tools across your team without sharing credentials.

As tool surfaces grow, Studio exposes Virtual MCPs — one endpoint, different strategies for which tools to surface:

• Full-context: expose everything (simple, deterministic, good for small toolsets)
• Smart selection: narrow the toolset before execution
• Code execution: load tools on demand in a sandbox

Projects

Projects bring agents and connections together around a goal. The project's UI adapts to what's inside — add a content agent and a CMS connection, the sidebar shows content management; add an analytics agent and a database, it shows dashboards and queries. The UI you see is the UI that's relevant for operating that project.

You can also define outcomes declaratively and let Studio work backward to derive milestones, assign agents, and verify results.

Observability

Token spend per connection — OpenRouter, Perplexity, Firecrawl, all of it. Latency, errors, bottlenecks. One dashboard.
