Murph is a self-hosted agent runtime for remote teams working across time zones. Start a coverage session before someone logs off; Murph watches selected team channels, uses connected work context, and sends, queues, or skips replies based on policy.
Murph runs as one runtime on a host you control. Tools, integrations, policy, credentials, plugins, config, review, and channel coverage are shared by that runtime host so async work stays visible to the team.
Murph is not a general work assistant or enterprise search layer. It is built for one workflow: keep work moving while someone is away, then show what happened afterward.
The simplest download path is curl:
curl -fsSL https://murph-agent.com/install.sh | bash
murph setupFor a hosted Murph runtime, use Docker with a stable public URL:
MURPH_APP_URL=https://agent.example.com \
docker compose -f deploy/docker-compose.yml exec murph murph setupSee Hosting for VPS, managed-service, tunnel, and Docker deployment details.
