What is MetaGPT?
MetaGPT enables you to create teams of AI agents structured like a software company, with distinct roles (product managers, architects, project managers, engineers) that collaborate to convert natural language input into complete software artifacts including requirements, designs, data structures, and documentation.

MetaGPT FAQ
Common questions about MetaGPT, answered from independent, dated evidence.
What is MetaGPT?
OpenManus is an open-source project for developing and tuning LLM agents through reinforcement learning methods. It includes browser automation, multi-agent support, and integration with LLM APIs for building autonomous agent applications. It is indexed under Multi Agent Orchestration.
Is MetaGPT free to use?
MetaGPT is open source, so it can be self-hosted and used at no licence cost. It is released under the MIT licence. Pricing changes often, so verify at source before relying on it.
What platforms does MetaGPT support?
MetaGPT supports a command-line interface. Platforms we have not confirmed are simply not listed here rather than ruled out.
Can MetaGPT be self-hosted?
Yes. MetaGPT can be deployed cloud / SaaS and self-hosted, so it does not have to run on the vendor's infrastructure.
Is MetaGPT open source?
Yes. MetaGPT is published under the MIT licence, a permissive licence that generally allows commercial use and modification. Licence terms can change between releases, so verify against the repository for the version you intend to use.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for MetaGPT, not the verdict.
