# Relaticle > Open-source, self-hosted CRM with built-in AI chat and 37 MCP tools for connecting external AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. Relaticle is an open-source CRM built for teams who want AI deeply integrated into their customer relationship workflows. Licensed under AGPL-3.0, it can be self-hosted on your own server or used via the managed cloud at app.relaticle.com. The project ships weekly and, as of September 2026, has reached v3.5.7 with over 1,600 GitHub stars and 29,000+ Docker pulls. ## What It Is Relaticle is an agent-native CRM that lets teams manage contacts, companies, opportunities, tasks, and notes through three parallel paths: a traditional UI, a built-in AI chat assistant called Rela, and an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes 37 tools to any external AI agent. The core data model supports 22 custom field types, and the platform enforces 5-layer authorization with multi-workspace isolation. It is built on Laravel 13, Filament 5, PHP 8.5, and PostgreSQL, and ships with 2,000+ automated tests. ## The MCP and Agent Integration Layer The MCP server is a first-class feature, not an afterthought. It provides 37 tools covering full CRUD operations on contacts, companies, deals, tasks, and notes, plus pipeline analysis, activity history, and schema access. Any MCP-compatible agent — Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, open-source models, or custom agents — can connect via OAuth or personal access tokens. The REST API provides the same coverage for teams building custom integrations. Using the REST API or MCP server directly does not consume the workspace's AI credit balance. ## Built-in AI Chat: Rela Rela is the in-app AI assistant. It can search and summarize CRM records, draft follow-ups, create or update records, and reschedule tasks — all in plain language. Users can @-mention specific records to scope a question. Destructive operations (updates and deletes) require explicit approval via an on-screen card before anything is saved, and approved destructive actions can be undone within five seconds. Voice input and persistent searchable chat history are included. The assistant supports Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint; conversation history is stored only in the Relaticle database. ## Self-Hosting and Deployment Relaticle is designed to run on infrastructure you control. The recommended path is Docker Compose, with additional guides for Coolify and Dokploy. Requirements are PHP 8.5+, PostgreSQL 17+, Composer 2, Node.js 22+, and optionally Redis for queues. Self-hosted installs run the identical open-source codebase as the managed cloud, and data can be moved between the two via CSV export and import. The codebase is fully i18n-ready; self-hosted forks can add a `lang//` directory to translate the entire app. ## Update: v3.5.7 The latest release is v3.5.7, published on September 6, 2026. The repository shows active weekly shipping cadence with the last push on September 11, 2026. The project roadmap is public on GitHub Projects, and the team accepts contributions through the standard fork-and-PR workflow documented in the contributing guide. The tech stack targets Laravel 13 and PHP 8.5, with PHPStan static analysis and Pest mutation testing as part of the CI pipeline. ## Who It Is Built For Relaticle positions itself for developer-led teams, AI-forward startups, and SMBs who want AI agent integration without vendor lock-in. It has no per-seat pricing on any plan — billing is per workspace. The self-hosted path is free forever under AGPL-3.0 with unlimited users and records. The managed cloud option adds hosting, premium AI models, and email support. An enterprise tier provides scoped implementation, custom integrations, and direct access to the founding team. ## Features - Built-in AI chat assistant (Rela) with approval workflow for destructive actions - 37-tool MCP server for external AI agent integration - REST API with full CRUD for CRM entities - 22 custom field types including entity relationships, conditional visibility, and per-field encryption - Self-hosted deployment via Docker Compose, Coolify, or Dokploy - Managed cloud hosting at app.relaticle.com - Company, people, opportunity, task, and note management - Kanban pipeline board with custom stages - Multi-workspace support with 5-layer role-based authorization - CSV import and export for all record types - Voice input and persistent searchable chat history - @-mention records to scope AI queries - Activity log showing field-level change history - Undo destructive AI actions within 5 seconds - Support for Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and OpenAI-compatible endpoints - Per-field encryption - Conditional field visibility - i18n-ready codebase for self-hosted localization - 2,000+ automated tests with PHPStan and Pest mutation testing ## Integrations Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), Any MCP-compatible AI agent, Any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, Ollama (self-hosted models), Docker, Coolify, Dokploy, Laravel Forge, PostgreSQL, Redis ## Platforms LINUX, WEB, API, CLI ## Pricing Open Source, Free tier available ## Version v3.5.7 ## Links - Website: https://relaticle.com - Documentation: https://relaticle.com/developers - Repository: https://github.com/relaticle/relaticle - EveryDev.ai: https://www.everydev.ai/tools/relaticle
