Synapse - A Multi Agent Orchestrator

Synapse AI — Multi-Agent Orchestration Platform

Build AI workflows that actually ship.

Wire agents, tools, and LLMs into deterministic pipelines — without the framework lock-in. Synapse is an open-source platform for creating, connecting, and orchestrating AI agents powered by any LLM — local or cloud. Agents use real tools: browsing the web, querying databases, executing code, reading files, managing emails, and anything else you can expose through an MCP server, a webhook, or a Python script.

Install

Quick Setup Script (recommended)

macOS / Linux:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/synapseorch-ai/synapse-ai/main/setup.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell):

irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/synapseorch-ai/synapse-ai/main/setup.ps1 | iex

npm

npm install -g synapse-orch-ai
synapse

pip

pip install synapse-orch-ai
synapse

Docker

docker run -d \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -v synapse-data:/data \
  -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
  synapseorchai/synapse-ai:latest

Then open http://localhost:3000. See the Docker guide in the docs for custom ports and environment variable configuration.

Upgrading

Install method	Upgrade command
Bash / PowerShell installer (recommended)	synapse upgrade
pip	pip install --upgrade synapse-orch-ai
npm	npm update -g synapse-orch-ai
Docker	docker pull synapseorchai/synapse-ai:latest

---

Scale Mode

Run unlimited agents and orchestrations concurrently. When you need to go beyond a single process, the distributed scale layer handles the load:

• Redis Cluster — job queue, SSE event streams, pub/sub cancellation signals, auto-failover
• ARQ worker fleet — 1 to 100+ independent workers, each running up to 20 concurrent orchestrations; autoscale with KEDA on queue depth
• PgBouncer — multiplexes hundreds of worker connections into a small, stable Postgres pool
• S3 artifact storage — stream large file outputs directly to AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, or MinIO
• Multi-tenant quotas — per-team or per-customer concurrent run limits with HTTP 429 enforcement
• Per-step checkpoint recovery — worker crashes don't lose jobs; the next worker resumes from the last completed step

Three Docker images — pull only what you need:

docker pull synapseorchai/synapse-ai:latest             # full app (standalone mode)
docker pull synapseorchai/synapse-ai-api-server:latest  # stateless API server (scale mode)
docker pull synapseorchai/synapse-ai-worker:latest      # worker process (scale mode, run as many as needed)

The docker-compose.yml in the repo spins up the full stack. Production K8s manifests are in infra/k8s/.

What Makes Synapse Different

• Multi-Model Orchestrations — Run a different LLM at every step. Use a fast model for routing, a powerful one for analysis. You control where the compute goes.
• Deterministic DAG Execution — Orchestrations follow the exact path you designed. No hallucinated detours.
• Turn Anything Into a Tool — Python scripts, REST APIs, webhooks, MCP servers, or entire orchestrations — all become agent-callable tools.
• Human-in-the-Loop — Pause workflows for human review. Resumable across restarts. Connect via UI, Slack, Telegram, or any messaging channel.
• Scales to Millions of Requests — The distributed scale layer separates API servers, Redis job queues, and independent worker processes so you can run any number of agents or orchestrations concurrently. Start on one machine, grow to a Kubernetes cluster — the V2 API never changes.
• Local-First, No Lock-In — Full local operation with Ollama. Mix local and cloud models freely. Your data stays yours.
• Built-In Scheduling & Messaging — Cron-based automation with results pushed to Slack, Discord, Telegram, Teams, or WhatsApp.
• 14+ LLM Providers — Cloud, local, and CLI providers including Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, xAI, DeepSeek, AWS Bedrock, and more.

CLI

synapse start     # start backend + frontend, open browser
synapse stop      # stop background processes
synapse upgrade   # upgrade to the latest version
synapse uninstall # remove Synapse, wipe ~/.synapse, and uninstall the package

Roadmap

• Spawn Sub-Agent Tool — Agents natively spawn and delegate tasks to temporary sub-agents mid-execution.
• Compact Conversations — Automatic message history compression for large contexts.
• Global Variables — Dynamic variables injectable into prompts, orchestrations, tools, and MCP environments.
