Self-host your own instance or join Tracecat Community Cloud. The easiest way to get started is to connect your agent harness (Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex) to Tracecat.

​
Self-host

Docker Compose is the easiest way to self-host. Check out the full guide here or follow the quickstart below. 
# Setup environment variables and secrets
curl -o env.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TracecatHQ/tracecat/1.0.0-beta.40/env.sh
curl -o .env.example https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TracecatHQ/tracecat/1.0.0-beta.40/.env.example
chmod +x env.sh && ./env.sh

# Download Caddyfile
curl -o Caddyfile https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TracecatHQ/tracecat/1.0.0-beta.40/Caddyfile

# Download Docker Compose file
curl -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TracecatHQ/tracecat/1.0.0-beta.40/docker-compose.yml

# Start Tracecat
docker compose up -d

​
Connect MCP

claude mcp add -t http tracecat <your-tracecat-url>/mcp
claude
/mcp

​
