Get started
Bring your tool to Quox

You built the feature.
Quox is the surround.

Keep your logic. Keep your brand. Hand off the six things every serious tool eventually needs and none of them wants to build twice: auth and multi-tenancy, durable persistence, human approval gates, agent chat, verifiable evidence, and a distribution route.

QuoxCORE is self-hosted. It runs from Docker Compose on hardware you own, so a tool converted onto it ships to your customer’s own machines, not through a vendor cloud in between. Your plugin is a signed bundle installed into that instance.

In plain words

What it is, where it lives, when to reach for it

What is it
A guide to moving a tool you already built inside QuoxCORE instead of running it standalone.
Where do I use it
In your own codebase, and on the self-hosted QuoxCORE install you or your customer runs.
When would I use it
When your tool needs auth, durable storage, approval gates or an audit trail you have not built.
How do I use it
Read the archetype nearest your tool, then email [email protected]: residency is invite-only, not a self-serve form.

QuoxCORE is the free, self-hosted platform underneath this. What is QuoxCORE

The surround

Six things you stop building yourself

Auth and multi-tenancy

Org-scoped access, roles, and licensing come for free instead of being built from scratch.

Durable persistence

Server-side storage that survives a browser clear, not localStorage pretending to be a database.

Human approval gates

Risky actions wait for a real human decision, enforced by the platform, not requested of the model.

Agent chat

Your tool gets a conversational front end for free: ask it questions, hand it tasks, get cited answers.

Verifiable evidence

Every action your tool takes is hash-chained and exportable, not just logged to a file nobody reads.

A distribution route

Your plugin installs into any QuoxCORE the same way ours do. The public marketplace is not open yet.

Conversion examples

What Quox adds, by archetype

Seven shapes of tool we see most. If yours is not here, the surround still applies.

01

MCP server

Quox turns your MCP server into a governed agent tool with approval gates and an audit trail per call.

02

Monitoring dashboard

Quox adds multi-tenant auth, alert routing to agent chat, and durable history instead of a single-tab view.

03

Chat-ops bot

Quox adds human approval gates on destructive commands and a witnessed record of who approved what.

04

Vertical AI agent

Quox adds org isolation, DEFCON-style autonomy limits, and evidence for every decision it makes.

05

Trading or automation bot

Quox adds a human gate before execution, risk caps, a kill switch, and a hash-chained order trail.

06

DevOps runbooks

Quox adds approval-gated execution, fleet-wide reach through QuoxAgent, and a receipt for every run.

07

Report or scraper micro-SaaS

Quox adds durable multi-tenant storage, scheduled runs, and one install path into any QuoxCORE.

The work

What converting actually involves

Four steps, in the order you would do them. Nothing here is on a roadmap.

01

Scaffold

The scaffolder (npx @quoxai/create-quox-plugin) offers eight templates. You get a manifest, a React view and, in the enterprise-extension template, a backend skeleton for a plugin backend. For an MCP server, --from-mcp scaffolds a specialist-agent plugin from its tool list.

02

Move your logic in

Your existing UI becomes the plugin’s view. Server-side logic can move into a plugin backend on managed Quox instances, under the signing and isolation rules in the developer docs. Self-hosted installs from the public release do not run plugin backends yet. Frontends are React today; other frameworks are not supported yet.

03

Declare what you need

The manifest lists the permissions your plugin wants, and the installer shows that list to the administrator before they accept. The sandbox refuses any call your manifest did not declare. Read what each one opens

04

Hand it over

You build and sign a bundle and an administrator installs it on their instance with quox plugin install. Until the marketplace opens, distribution is a direct agreement between you and your customer, not a storefront.

The EU AI Act clock is already running

Article 50 transparency obligations land in August 2026: disclosure that people are interacting with AI, and a record they can point to. A tool converted onto Quox inherits that disclosure and evidence story instead of building it under deadline pressure.

Honest status

  • The marketplace is coming. It is not open for public listings yet.
  • The Plugin SDK is on npm (four packages under the @quoxai scope, version 0.4.1) and public on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 licence. The protocol SDK packages (aee-sdk, ward, volt, aocl) are not on npm yet. No date is set.
  • Plugin frontends are React today. Other frameworks are not supported yet.

Early Developer Residency

Invite-only. First year commission-free once the marketplace opens. We work with a small number of converting developers directly, before this is a self-serve form.
