User Guide
Cinatra is the open source AI workspace for teams — a workspace where people, AI assistants, and autonomous agents work together on durable workflows. This guide is for the people using the workspace day to day: starting agents in chat, reviewing their work at human-in-the-loop (HITL) gates, watching durable runs, browsing the marketplace, collaborating across team and instance boundaries.
If you administer the /configuration/* area, see the Admin Guide. If you install or operate Cinatra, see the Hosting Guide. If you write agents or contribute to the platform, see the Developer Guide. If you build against the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, see the MCP Guide.
