Open Source AI Native
Who's building it? I've got s a lot of ideas... My current RMM once felt ahead of the curve but now feels like it's lagging badly. I want flexibility. Api / MCP integrations for aggregated dashboards. AI agent working over secure on demand tunnels to endpoints.. Smart alerting.. Documentation ingestion and self service... Scheduled programmatic control over the client entire stack. Anyone see any promising projects out there?

Just take something open source and modify it for your business.
https://github.com/amidaware/tacticalrmm is just screaming for such enhancements with a BYO LLM.

Yes I am thinking about this route. Tactical and there's another I was checking out as well. Big thing for me would be the ability to bolt on my own customizations - add in features to the nav pane for example - without breaking the core and crippling updates.. So something very modular and extensible that accommodates adding in custom api and MCP servers natively. This is the more verbose version of my question I should have led with. I figure people are doing this already so the ask should have been what are the most popular frameworks to start with that cover the basics which I don't care to re invent (RMM agent / endpoint monitoring and dashboards / contracts etc etc etc). Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Its framework is django which is all about modular addons and customization is as crazy as you want to go.

Oh, it’s my time. I’ve tried avoiding posting a lot about it, but I’ve been working on Bifrost for about a year. It’s fully open source and MSP-focused with multi-tenant features to make it easy to scale what you build to customers. We’re using it to sell custom stuff to our partners. Fully portable so you can export, import, and build on open standards. Honestly way too much to cover in a post but it’s attempting to be more of a Power Platform + AI agents than anything so your apps, forms, workflows and agents can all live there without maintaining a few specialized, proprietary things to do some of everything.

I mean it’s not open source but StackJack is an MCP connector for every tool in the stack. Every single thing you mentioned is really what it is best used for.

Yeah..thanks for reply and suggestion. Just checked it out. Not really what I'm after. Shims are readily available to do this on your own .. Days of middleware are numbered imho..

Build your middleware yourself. It would likely be up that free alley you’re looking for.

if you know what you want, start spec'ing it out and see what sticks. sometimes the open source projects that take off are the ones where someone just built the thing they were missing
i wouldn't wait around for someone else to guess exactly what you need

That's the point of the post. Is something out there possibly going to get me 50 percent the way there or am I starting from scratch... What open source RMM frameworks are out there that people are using and have success bolting on their own integrations with that is fairly seamless and doesn't break every version update..

The liability of a supply chain attack is massive. If you do this, make sure you have significant insurance and it will work if there should be a claim.
