Applies to the current Agent Studio Open source release. Check the product page and repository for the latest version, supported platforms, and installation details.

01

Choose your workspace

Agent Studio Open is local-first. Desktop gets stdio MCP and the local OTLP receiver. It also gets OS keychain storage, sandbox mode, and the release-trust wiring inherited from the Open Studio Platform.

The browser edition is intentionally smaller. Remote SSE and HTTP MCP connections. A2A card testing and IndexedDB trace storage. Your own provider keys, protected in the browser profile.

# Published CLI (PyPI 0.2.1)
python -m pip install auraone-agent-studio-open==0.2.1
agentstudio --help

# Source checkout
git clone https://github.com/auraoneai/agent-studio-open.git
cd agent-studio-open
pnpm install
pnpm dev

02

First replay

Start with manifest discovery against a disposable MCP server. The CLI's record command wraps an explicit local process. It writes stdout, stderr, and the return code to a local trace store.

Replay consumes a replay fixture plus a required assertions file. CI exports are separate commands; the CLI does not combine replay and export behind one flag.

  • Connect to a sample MCP server.
  • Open Manifest Inspector. Confirm the Tools and Resources tabs render. Then Prompts and JSON.
  • Run a schema-backed tool call from the visual Compose surface when needed.
  • Use the exact replay and export syntax shown by agentstudio --help.
