Can camelAI be self hosted or run in a private VPC?

Full under the Agentic Index verification standard. camelAI publishes public evidence of self hosted or private VPC deployment, along with data residency options for controlling where agent data is processed and stored. Evidence basis: Besides the hosted service, camelCode is MIT licensed and self hosts on the customer's own infrastructure with Docker Compose or on AWS. Application state, project storage and the build, notebook and query containers stay local. Self hosted. Graded from public evidence only against the Agentic Index 14 point capability taxonomy. No vendor pays for placement.

Can you bring your own model or route between providers with camelAI?

Full under the Agentic Index verification standard. camelAI publishes public evidence of bring your own model and bring your own key (BYOK), and of routing tasks between models or providers rather than being locked to one. Evidence basis: Every hosted camelCode plan takes the customer's own API key. Self hosted camelCode runs on a key the customer supplies for Bedrock, Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter or a compatible custom provider. The free tier runs on camelAI's camelStream. Graded from public evidence only against the Agentic Index 14 point capability taxonomy. No vendor pays for placement.

Does camelAI support MCP and tool calling?

Partial under the Agentic Index verification standard. camelAI publishes some public evidence of tool calling and API or SDK extensibility, but narrower than full Model Context Protocol (MCP) support as defined by the Agentic Index taxonomy. Evidence basis: The camelCode source is public under MIT, and the self hosting docs include a guide to customizing the coding agent. camelAI names no API or SDK for driving camelCode. The OpenAI and Anthropic compatible API belongs to camelStream, the infe. Graded from public evidence only against the Agentic Index 14 point capability taxonomy. No vendor pays for placement.

Entry pricecamelCode free plan; Starter $10 per month (camelStream inference, sold separately, $5 per month)Full pricing detail

camelAI sells camelCode, an MIT licensed coding agent that builds projects in a persistent workspace and publishes them to live URLs, hosted or self hosted on the customer's own model keys, alongside camelStream, a flat rate inference service.

camelAI began as an AI data analyst and now sells camelCode and camelStream. camelCode is a coding agent. A user describes what they want, and it builds the project in a workspace whose files, databases and deployed apps persist across sessions, runs builds, notebooks and database queries in isolated containers, and publishes the result to a live URL. It connects to PostgreSQL, MongoDB, BigQuery, Supabase and ClickHouse. Plans include cron jobs, and paid plans add custom domains and an email inbox.

camelCode is open source under the MIT license and can be self hosted with Docker Compose or on AWS behind Pomerium authentication with the customer's own identity provider, running on a key for Bedrock, Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter or a compatible provider. Hosted plans also take the customer's own key. Self hosted deployments add spend limits and usage tracking.

camelStream, sold beside it, is a flat rate inference service at $5 a month that serves a changing fleet of models through OpenAI and Anthropic compatible APIs and powers camelCode's free tier. This profile covers camelCode, not camelStream. camelCode has a free plan, with paid plans from $10 a month.

Integrations

camelCode connects to PostgreSQL, MongoDB, BigQuery, Supabase and ClickHouse, among other data sources, and publishes the apps it builds to live URLs on camelAI's own hosting. Users start the agent by describing a task, and the Starter plan adds an email inbox.

In practice

Your analyst wants a dashboard over the company's PostgreSQL data. camelCode builds the app, runs its queries in an isolated container and publishes it to a live URL.

Your security team needs the agent on your own infrastructure. camelCode self hosts with Docker Compose or on AWS behind Pomerium and your own identity provider, keeps project storage and containers local, and runs on your own Bedrock, Anthropic or OpenAI key.

Your team comes back to a project after a break. Its files, databases and deployed apps are still in the camelCode workspace, so the work picks up from the same state.

2026-10-01·Workflow orchestrationVerified

camelAI launched camelRun, an open source hosted runtime for long lived agents that runs the agent loop, keeps each agent's history and files, runs model written code in a sandbox with no network access, and wakes sleeping agents when work arrives. It costs $0.01 per hour of active agent time plus model usage, and can be self hosted with one container and Postgres.

Bears on: Memory / state

2026-07-27·Deployment / data residencyVerified

camelAI completely redesigned its coding agent architecture, migrating from per-user virtual machines to a serverless model using Cloudflare Durable Objects. The updated execution stack stores project files in SQLite and R2, replacing open-ended bash commands with sandboxed JavaScript Code Mode running in V8 isolates.

2026-07-21·Pricing / packagingVerified

camelAI introduced a free tier powered by a self-hosted DeepSeek V4 Flash model running on AWS spot instances. The architecture routes requests through a Cloudflare AI Gateway with automatic failover to Azure's hosted DeepSeek service.

Pricing

camelCode free plan; Starter $10 per month (camelStream inference, sold separately, $5 per month)

per plan per month with included model credits, usage after credits; Team per seat

Free tier

What is public

camelCode Free, Starter, Pro and Team prices with their limits, and camelStream at $5 a month.

Cost watchouts

Model usage beyond the included credits adds to the plan price unless the customer brings its own key.

Variable cost rationale

Combines seats with query and agent run usage; cost grows with data volume and scheduled agent activity, though a free tier caps entry cost.

Overage / add-ons

Usage beyond the plan's included model credits is billed; every plan can use the customer's own API key

Sales call required

No, self serve available

Free / trial

camelCode Free plan, no card; bring your own key

Lowest paid plan

camelCode Starter ($10 per month)

Key ambiguities

The Team per seat figure appears in the page metadata rather than a plan card; how usage after credits is priced is not stated.
