Create your first workspace and agent
Cloud vs self-host
Agenstra Cloud is operated by ForePath at portal.agenstra.com. Support here covers Cloud operator tasks and shared
account topics.
Self-host means you run the stack. Deep install, upgrades, and ops live under docs.agenstra.com (start with
getting-started and deployment). Community OSS support boundaries differ from paid self-host tiers.
First success path
1. Sign in at portal.agenstra.com.
2. Create or open a workspace (and a client boundary if your org uses them).
3. Ensure a manager / runtime is available for that workspace (Cloud provisions capacity; self-host follows your
deployment).
4. Create an agent and confirm it is addressable (you can open a session and send a message).
The control plane flow is portal → controller → managers. Agents that run in IDEs use ACP. Project context often lives
under a .agenstra directory in the workspace.
Next steps
- Connect an IDE under Connecting IDEs & tools.
- Set approvals under Policies & approvals.
- Product reference: docs.agenstra.com (getting-started, deployment, ai-agents) and OpenAPI under /spec/....
