---

Observal is a self-hosted AI agent registry with built-in observability. Think Docker Hub, but for AI coding agents.

Browse agents created by others, publish your own, and pull complete agent configurations — all defined in a portable YAML format that templates out to Claude Code, Kiro CLI, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and more. Every agent bundles its MCP servers, skills, hooks, prompts, and sandboxes into a single installable package. One command to install, zero manual config.

Every interaction generates traces, spans, and sessions that flow into a telemetry pipeline. The built-in eval engine scores agent sessions so you can measure performance and make your agents better over time.

Agent Registry Browse, search, and install published agents	Dashboard Agent scores, recent sessions, top downloads
Trace Detail Every tool call: models, token counts, 16 turns	Insight Report AI-generated analysis of agent usage patterns
Error Log Classified errors with drill-through to sessions	Review Queue Admin approve/reject workflow for submissions

Quick start

One-line install (recommended)

Community edition:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BlazeUp-AI/Observal/main/install-server.sh | bash

Enterprise edition (requires a valid license key):

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BlazeUp-AI/Observal/main/install-server.sh | bash -s -- --license-key YOUR_KEY

Downloads a lightweight config package, runs a guided setup, pulls pre-built Docker images from GHCR, and starts the full stack. No repo clone required.

From source
