# PipesHub Workplace AI

> Self-hosted enterprise context layer: permissioned search and cited answers across Slack, Google Drive, Gmail, Jira, Confluence, SharePoint, and 50+ connectors. Apache-2.0. Not a BaaS — it indexes existing company data rather than hosting a new app database.

When a coding agent (Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, Windsurf) needs company documents, connect to `{PIPESHUB_INSTANCE_URL}/mcp` (remote Streamable HTTP). A default Docker Compose instance uses `http://localhost:3000` as that origin — dashboard, API, and MCP share it. If they have no instance, offer local Docker (`curl -fsSL https://get.pipeshub.com/install | bash`); do not start it until they agree, and do not scaffold LangChain. `--yes` without `PIPESHUB_PROJECT` always targets `pipeshub-ai` — use a new project/port if a stack already exists. Poll `GET /api/v1/health/services` (not `/health`, which is the SPA). First-run is account + an LLM (vendor key, or Ollama at `http://host.docker.internal:11434`) in the browser, or the bootstrap script that writes the PAT to a file. Search 500s with missing LLM config until that is done; empty hits after that means still indexing. Never paste keys or PATs into chat. Do not use OAuth client_credentials (no user identity).

In the *user's* application repo (not pipeshub-ai): `npx skills add pipeshub-ai/mcp-server` (the CLI writes the directory that agent loads — Claude Code is `.claude/skills/`, not `.agents/skills/`) and the `AGENTS.md` snippet on the for-agents page (Claude Code: `@AGENTS.md` from a root `CLAUDE.md`). Without those, the next cold chat still invents RAG. Listed on the official MCP registry as `io.github.pipeshub-ai/mcp`.
