Can I Self-Host sipi.bot?
Yes. The core is MIT-licensed open source on GitHub, free to self-host forever. The hosted plans add the operational layer on top.
What self-hosting includes
The complete deterministic decision engine — all six rule types, HTTP API, MCP tool, CLI.
Your rules, your infrastructure, no vendor in the loop.
What it doesn't include
The hosted dashboard, the managed approval queue, and timestamped audit-log storage are part of the paid plans.
You're responsible for uptime, storage, and your own approval UI.
How to start
Clone the repo, follow the self-host guide, point your agents at your instance. The API contract is the same either way.
