Current Limitations
Limitations is the current release status. Agent-Up is an experimental development preview for early technical feedback, not production use.
Release Status
- Development-preview packages exist for Windows, macOS, Ubuntu, and NixOS. See Downloads.
- Those packages are not a stable update channel.
- There is no automatic updater.
- No
v1.0release. - Public contracts may break without notice.
Platform Status
- The current development setup has been verified on NixOS first.
- Agent-Up may work on additional platforms, but they should be treated as unverified until tested.
- Native Windows Server is not a first-class Nix host. Run Server on WSL2 or Linux. There is no second non-Nix capability install path.
Automation Access
- The MCP automation interface accepts loopback connections only until you turn on
AGENTUP_MCP_REMOTE_ENABLED. Until then, tools reachable on the Server host are not reachable from anywhere else, including your own second machine or a CI runner. - With it on, a caller from another address must present a bearer token carrying that endpoint's permission; a request with no token still looks like nothing is there. You supply the issuer and audience, because Agent-Up ships no default endpoint and depends on no particular identity provider.
- Desktop and Mobile are unaffected: they use the REST API, which does support remote connections and authentication.
- Several MCP tools identify their target by an absolute path on the Server's filesystem, so they assume the caller shares it.

API and Configuration Stability
agent-up.jsonmay change.- REST endpoints may change.
- MCP interfaces may change.
- Data persistence and migration guarantees are not stable.
- Error handling is still being hardened.
Security and Support
- Agent-Up is not security hardened for production use.
- There is no commercial support commitment.
- Response times for issues and security reports are best effort.
- Known failures should be documented instead of hidden.
