Most agent tools give you a better conversation. Paperclip gives you an org chart. The MIT-licensed repo from Paperclip Labs is at 78,000+ stars and 14,300+ forks, and it picked up another 571 stars on GitHub Trending today. The author’s own framing says it best: if OpenClaw is an employee, Paperclip is the whole company.
What it actually is
A self-hosted Node.js server with a React dashboard. Not an agent — a control plane for agents you already pay for. You define roles, reporting lines, and token budgets; agents get tickets instead of prompts; work runs on scheduled heartbeats with session state that survives restarts. Hit a budget cap and the agent throttles automatically. Approvals and audit logs are built in. One deployment can host multiple companies with fully isolated data.
Bring your own agents
The integration layer is the point. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, Gemini CLI, plus plain bash scripts and HTTP webhooks all plug in through adapters, so a single ticket board can route work across vendors and track cost per agent in one place. Install is a one-line script; Node 20+ and embedded Postgres, swappable for a real database in production. Free to self-host — you pay infra and model tokens.
That’s the bet: multi-agent work fails on governance, not intelligence.
