Install

Manual install

curl -fsSLO https://app.automatiabcn.com/download
tar -xzf abs-server-*.tar.gz && cd abs-server-*
./install.sh

Run on your own Linux VPS; install.sh runs twice: first to fill in .env, then to bring up Docker Compose behind Caddy.

How we review

Broad accessThe tool can change data, run commands or handle secrets.

  • The 157-tool set includes code execution and a fullstack development mode
  • It stores Stripe payment secrets and provider keys on your own server
  • It contacts the vendor's server daily to check the license unless disabled

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The server is the backend half of the commercial ABS Studio editor: the editor runs on the user's machine, while this server deploys on your own VPS via Docker Compose. It routes calls across seven providers (Anthropic, OpenRouter, Groq, Cerebras, Gemini, Cloudflare, Cohere) with a circuit breaker and can fall back to local Ollama or MLX models. It ships 157 MCP tools covering code review, test generation, hybrid RAG retrieval and a fullstack developer mode. It speaks MCP natively, so it can connect to any MCP client, not just the ABS Studio editor. It runs on a $5-a-month subscription with a seven-day trial and no card, checks its license with the vendor's server on startup and daily, and that check can be disabled with ABS_PHONE_HOME_DISABLED.

Who it is for. For developers willing to pay for a self-hosted orchestrator with routing across several LLM providers and a large set of ready-made tools.

Good fit when

  • You need a fallback LLM provider with automatic switching if the primary one fails
  • You are willing to pay a subscription and run a server on your own VPS for 157 ready tools
  • You want an MCP server that plugs into any client, not just the ABS Studio editor

Not a fit when

  • You need a free or fully open tool: it is BUSL-1.1 licensed and requires a paid subscription after the seven-day trial
  • You have no VPS of your own to deploy it on via Docker Compose
  • You need tools specific to the Russian stack: this service has no ties to Russian services

ABS_PHONE_HOME_DISABLED
Disables the daily license check against the vendor's server

Limitations

It requires a $5-a-month paid subscription after a seven-day trial and a license key; the license is BUSL-1.1, not perpetually free. It needs your own Linux VPS for Docker Compose. The default providers (Anthropic, OpenRouter, Gemini) are foreign and may be unreachable without a VPN. Stripe, Anthropic and SMTP secrets live in a sops vault that needs separate setup.

How to disable. Stop the stack with docker compose down on your VPS and cancel the subscription through the ABS Studio customer portal.

FAQ

Does data go to the vendor's servers?

No, per the README the server runs on your own machine and content requests go straight to the provider you chose with your key. The vendor only gets license metadata during the daily check.

Can I use it free with no card?

There is a seven-day trial with no card, after which a $5-a-month subscription is required.

How is ABS Studio Server different from ordinary MCP servers?

It is the server half of the commercial ABS Studio editor: the editor runs on your computer and the server is deployed on your own VPS through Docker Compose. It routes requests between seven LLM providers and provides 157 tools. The server is paid.

What is ABS Studio, what does it install on a PC and does data go to the author?

ABS Studio is a paid editor with a server part on your VPS. What exactly is installed on the computer and what data goes to the author's servers is in the product documentation and policy, read it before installing. Risk is high.

README in short

The English README, with Turkish and Spanish translations, describes the backend half of the commercial ABS Studio product: provider routing with a circuit breaker, 157 MCP tools, secrets encryption via sops and age, Stripe readiness and a status page. It shows a quick VPS install via a downloaded archive and install script, a $5-a-month pricing table, and notes that the server speaks MCP natively and works with any client. It also lists the tech stack: Python 3.13, FastAPI, SQLite, Next.js 15.
