★ Multi-Agent★ Observability

deco Studio is an open-source control plane for hiring AI agents, connecting tools via MCP, and organizing them into projects with adaptive UIs. It provides observability for token spend, costs, and errors, and can be self-hosted or synced to the cloud for team collaboration.

studio is currently grouped under Dev Tooling, which makes it easier to evaluate through workflow fit instead of isolated features alone. Based on the available data, it leans most heavily toward Agents: browse, hire, and compose specialized AI agents with tracked skills and cost attribution and Building and managing AI agent workflows. The listed license is NOASSERTION, which is useful when adoption constraints matter. It also shows measurable community traction with 391 GitHub stars.

How it compares

≈studio sits in the Dev Tooling category, so it makes more sense to evaluate it alongside tools like fastmcp instead of in isolation.
≈If your main need is closer to "Building and managing AI agent workflows", that use case is a better lens for comparison than broad feature checklists alone.
≈studio uses a NOASSERTION license, and community traction are both easier to judge in category context.
