Product Overview
What is BOSS Console?
BOSS Console gives AI agents a shared workspace where users can inspect browser activity, terminal output, and project files alongside their conversations. It connects with existing coding agents and MCP clients, while plugins add interfaces, tools, and services. Available for macOS, Windows, and Linux, BOSS combines an Apache 2.0 core with granular controls over the tools exposed to agents.
Key Features
Integrated Agent Workspace
Keep browser pages, terminal sessions, code editing, and notebooks together while inspecting agent activity.
Existing Agent Connections
Connect Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and other MCP-compatible clients to workspace tools.
Extensible Plugin System
Install and hot-reload plugins that add user interfaces, agent-callable tools, and shared services.
Granular Tool Permissions
Control exposed capabilities through roles, plugin gates, and individual tool settings.
Scoped Credential Handling
Let supported tools use stored credentials without routinely exposing their values to the model.
Cross-Platform Open-Source Core
Run the workspace on macOS, Windows, or Linux with an Apache 2.0 core.
Use Cases
- Agent-Assisted Development : Work with a coding agent while reviewing project files, running commands, and checking browser results in one workspace.
- Browser Research and Automation : Give agents page context and browser tools to inspect websites and perform web tasks.
- Notebook-Based Experiments : Combine Jupyter notebooks, terminal output, and agent assistance for exploratory technical work.
- Custom Agent Environments : Assemble task-specific workspaces with plugins that provide both human-facing interfaces and agent tools.
- Permission-Controlled Workflows : Limit which BOSS tools agents can access and use supported credential flows for authenticated tasks.
