skedra.xyz provides documentation and project information. The application, API, MCP server, library catalog, database, SDK and deployment files live together in this repository. There is no separate commercial edition.
Self-host Skedra
Run the all-in-one Docker image:
docker run -d \
--name skedra \
-p 3000:80 \
-v skedra_data:/data \
ghcr.io/moonriddim/skedra-community-standalone:latest
Open http://localhost:3000. PostgreSQL, files and instance
secrets persist in the skedra_data volume. The first registered user becomes the
instance administrator. Further registrations require an invitation by default.
See SELFHOST.md for Docker Compose, production URLs, storage, optional LiveKit calls, updates and backups. Images for this transition become available after the changes are merged and the release workflow succeeds.

MCP for AI agents
Connect Codex, Claude, Cursor or another client to your own instance:
https://YOUR-SKEDRA-INSTANCE/api/mcp
Sign in to that instance through OAuth. API-key and local stdio configurations are available in Settings > API Keys & MCP. There is no central hosted MCP endpoint. See docs/MCP.md.
Development
git clone https://github.com/moonriddim/skedra-community.git
cd skedra-community
corepack enable
docker compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d
cp .env.example .env
pnpm install
pnpm db:push
pnpm dev
Open http://localhost:5174.
pnpm dev also watches the shared SDK. Use pnpm sdk:verify for focused SDK and
editor parity checks. pnpm test runs the workspace tests.
Build the independent static website with pnpm docs:build and preview it with
pnpm docs:dev at http://localhost:5176.
It requires no API, database, authentication or external service.
