A live sandbox pre-loaded with a sample hotel. Tap any role to sign in — the demo usernames and passwords are listed right on the page. The guest booking engine is at /book and the housekeeping phone app at /kamra/hk.
Most hotel PMS software was built twenty years ago and has barely moved since. Dozens of options, almost no innovation: the same click-heavy screens, the same nightly rituals, the same walls around your own data.
Hotels deserve better than:
- Per-room, per-module rent. Your software bill grows every time your hotel does. Night audit is an add-on. Reports are an add-on. The booking engine is an add-on.
- Your data held hostage. Guest history, rate history, your books — locked in a vendor's cloud, with an export fee if you ever try to leave.
- Waiting for AI that never ships. Legacy vendors bolt a chatbot onto 2005-era software and call it innovation. Real agentic operations need a system designed to be operated by AI, not just chatted at.
- Integration purgatory. Every connection is a paid interface, a certification queue, a quarter of waiting.
- Trained-staff-only software. If a new hire needs a week of training to check someone in, the software failed — not the hire.
Kamra is the answer we wanted to exist: a full property management system where every operation — booking, check-in, folios, night audit, pricing — is a governed action, exposed over a real tool layer, so you can bring the AI you trust to run it.
- Agent-ready, not agent-locked. Kamra ships an MCP server with governed tools, role-scoped and permission-checked like any user. Connect Claude (or any MCP client) and say "book Mr. Rao a deluxe for the weekend with breakfast" — it quotes, books, and every action is logged. No bundled agent personas to trust or configure — bring your own.
- Bring your own key. No bundled AI markup, no model lock-in. Point your own LLM at Kamra's tool surface, or connect HeyKoala for a phone/WhatsApp AI concierge.
- Deterministic money. Prices, taxes, availability come from a pricing engine — never from a language model. GST slabs, multi-rate invoices, and the no-overbooking guard are code, verified by an eval suite in CI.
- Full audit trail. Every action — human or AI — is logged with who did it, what changed, and why. Accountability comes from the ledger, not from hoping the model behaves.
- Truly free. AGPL-licensed. No per-room pricing, no per-user seats, no license audits, no "premium" tiers. Self-host on-prem or on any cloud.
- Built on Frappe. The framework behind ERPNext — one of the world's largest open-source ERPs — with its mature ecosystem: RBAC, audit trails, multi-tenancy, the frappe/payments gateway app, and a huge developer community.

- REST API reference — every endpoint with method, required roles, parameters and description, generated from the source so it never drifts
- Postman collection
— import it, set

bench get-app kamra https://github.com/Kamra-PMS/kamra-pms --branch main
bench --site your-site install-app kamraKamra ships its built front-end, so after install the product UI is live at
/kamra (the booking engine redirects in at /book, housekeeping at
/hk) — no Node server in production. The Frappe Desk stays available at
/app as an admin escape hatch. A fresh install creates its own roles and
permissions; sign in as your Administrator and open /kamra/setup to create
your property, then add staff users.

develop is the repo's default branch (for contributors), so production

-e KAMRA_API_SECRET=... -- python mcp/kamra_mcp.pyYou own the software, the server, and every byte of your data. Costs don't scale with your room count. Connect your own AI and it works from day one — and if you ever want managed hosting or an AI concierge (voice, WhatsApp) on top, those are choices, not ransoms.
Standard Python (Frappe) + React. Real RBAC, real audit trails, documented REST + MCP surfaces, an eval suite in CI, no black boxes. Fork it, extend it, ship your own modules — that's the point.
AGPL-3.0 — free forever. Anyone offering Kamra as a hosted service must share their modifications back, which keeps the ecosystem honest.
Kamra is built in the open — PRs welcome. Thanks to @Mohammed-Muneef (guest laundry self-service and the desk laundry console, kitchen display v2, inventory & recipes, menu bulk import, hardened ID-document handling).
