* fix(ssr): move credential query-key factory + fetchers to non-client modules
Preventively closes the same 'use client' SSR client-reference-stub class that
crashed the tables page. Server-evaluated modules (the credential block def, the
workflow-comparison helpers) imported workspaceCredentialKeys /
fetchWorkspaceCredentialList / fetchCredentialSetById from 'use client' hook
modules, where they resolve to client-reference stubs on the server (a future
server call path would throw 'X is not a function').
Extract them into non-client hooks/queries/utils/{credential-keys,
fetch-workspace-credentials,fetch-credential-set}.ts (mirroring folder-keys.ts /
fetch-workflow-envelope.ts) and import from there. No behavior change — these
values were only ever called from browser paths.
* docs+ci: codify the 'use client' server-import rule + add check:client-boundary
Document the Next.js rule that server code can only render a 'use client'
export as a component, never call it (server imports resolve to client-reference
stubs that throw — the tables-page crash). Add the rule to
.claude/rules/sim-queries.md + a cross-ref in sim-architecture.md.
Add scripts/check-client-boundary-imports.ts (wired into CI as check:client-boundary)
that flags any value import from a 'use client' module in a server-evaluated,
non-JSX surface (prefetch / route handler / trigger / block definition), so this
class can't silently recur. Escape hatch: // client-boundary-allow: <reason>.
The open-source AI workspace where teams build, deploy, and manage AI agents. Build conversationally, visually, or with code. Connect 1,000+ integrations and every major LLM to automate real work.
Build everything in Chat
Your AI command center. Describe what you want in plain language. Sim knows your entire workspace and takes action: building agents, running them, querying data, and more.
Create files and documents
Generate documents, reports, and presentations from a single prompt, grounded in your workspace data.
Ground agents in your knowledge
Upload documents to a knowledge base and let agents answer questions from your own content.
Structured data with Tables
A database, built in. Store, query, and wire structured data into agent runs.
Build visually with Workflows
Prefer a canvas? Design agents block by block in the visual builder, and let Sim generate blocks, wire variables, and fix errors from natural language.
Quickstart
Cloud-hosted: sim.ai
Self-hosted: NPM Package
npx simstudio
Note
Docker must be installed and running on your machine.
Options
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
-p, --port <port> |
Port to run Sim on (default 3000) |
--no-pull |
Skip pulling latest Docker images |
Self-hosted: Docker Compose
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d
Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM. See the Docker self-hosting docs for setup details.
Self-hosted: Manual Setup
Requirements: Bun, Node.js v20+, PostgreSQL 12+ with pgvector
- Clone and install:
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git
cd sim
bun install
bun run prepare # Set up pre-commit hooks
- Set up PostgreSQL with pgvector:
docker run --name simstudio-db -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your_password -e POSTGRES_DB=simstudio -p 5432:5432 -d pgvector/pgvector:pg17
Or install manually via the pgvector guide.
- Configure environment:
cp apps/sim/.env.example apps/sim/.env
# Create your secrets
perl -i -pe "s/your_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_internal_api_secret/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
perl -i -pe "s/your_api_encryption_key/$(openssl rand -hex 32)/" apps/sim/.env
# DB configs for migration
cp packages/db/.env.example packages/db/.env
# Edit both .env files to set DATABASE_URL="postgresql://postgres:your_password@localhost:5432/simstudio"
- Run migrations:
cd packages/db && bun run db:migrate
- Start development servers:
bun run dev:full # Starts Next.js app and realtime socket server
Or run separately: bun run dev (Next.js) and cd apps/sim && bun run dev:sockets (realtime).
Chat API Keys
Chat is a Sim-managed service. To use Chat on a self-hosted instance:
- Go to https://sim.ai → Settings → Chat keys and generate a Chat API key
- Set
COPILOT_API_KEYenvironment variable in your self-hosted apps/sim/.env file to that value
Environment Variables
See the environment variables reference for the full list, or apps/sim/.env.example for defaults.
