weave

# weave

> An open-source, self-hosted alternative to Airtable, Fibery, Notion databases,
> and ClickUp, in which AI agents are first-class users. Connected tables,
> bidirectional relations, workflow states, lookups, rollups, formulas,
> automations, and per-entity markdown documents — one SQLite file, zero runtime
> dependencies, no build step, MIT licensed.

weave runs as a single Node process over a single `.db` file. Everything the web
UI can do is also available over a REST API, a scriptable CLI, and a built-in
Model Context Protocol (MCP) server backed by the same engine — including every
configuration choice: field types and their options, colors, icons, column
widths and order, hidden columns, saved views, automations. `weave_vocabulary`
(`GET /api/vocabulary`, `weave vocabulary`) returns every value those settings
accept and what each looks like on screen, so an agent configures a workspace
without a human and without guessing. There is no
cloud, no signup, and no telemetry. It has no authentication of its own: a
self-hosted instance is expected to sit behind a reverse proxy, SSO proxy, or
private network.

Requires Node ≥ 22.16 (Node 24 LTS recommended). Install is `git clone` — there
is nothing to build and nothing to install from npm.
