We made Canonry open source

Canonry released version 5.0 of its agent-first agency OS for AEO and GEO under the MIT license, making the full platform open source on GitHub. All functionality from previous versions remains available in 5.0, including the CLI, API, MCP, dashboard, integrations, measurement, and automation, with the major version number marking the license change. The software carries no license fee, though provider usage and infrastructure costs remain the user's, and Canonry Custom remains a paid implementation service.

Canonry is an open-source, agent-first agency OS for AEO and GEO. Version 5.0 releases the full platform under the MIT license. Get the source on GitHub.

All functionality from previous versions remains available in 5.0. Your CLI, API, MCP, dashboard, integrations, measurement, and automation continue to work. The major version marks the license change.

Use the full platform commercially, modify it, self-host it, or build your own product on it.

An agency OS your agent can operate #

Your agent can take on the AEO work you would otherwise outsource: research buyer questions, investigate missing citations, prepare improvements, execute approved changes, and report the results.

Your agent works through CLI, API, or MCP, alongside its own code and content tools. You control strategy, credentials, budgets, and approvals.

One operation across projects and markets #

Canonry connects AI answers with Search Console, GA4, Bing, Google Business Profile, traffic, site audits, and portfolio measurement. Project history, schedules, and evidence persist between agent sessions.

Start with a weak market. Your agent can inspect missing citations, check search demand and indexing, prepare a content update for approval, and compare the next measurement. The agency work happens in one system, with the evidence behind each decision.

Run Canonry 5.0 #

npm install -g @canonry/canonry@5.0.0
canonry --version

Back up your configuration and database before upgrading. See the quickstart.

Keep the MIT copyright and permission notice with copies. Earlier releases and third-party dependencies retain their own license terms. The software has no license fee; provider usage and infrastructure costs remain yours. Canonry Custom remains our paid implementation service.
