Waleed 936536e553 improvement(url-state): platform-wide nuqs audit — migrate remaining view-state, codify conventions (#5851)
* improvement(url-state): migrate ee settings sections to nuqs deep-linkable view-state

- audit-logs: types/time-range/start-date/end-date filters move to a co-located
  search-params.ts (reusing the logs kebab-token time-range parser); search binds
  to the shared settings ?search= via useSettingsSearch, replacing a hand-rolled
  debounce effect
- access-control: group detail deep-links via ?group-id (push/replace-on-close);
  search via useSettingsSearch
- custom-blocks: block detail deep-links via ?custom-block-id; create flow stays
  local; search via useSettingsSearch
- data-drains + forks: search via useSettingsSearch; forks close now replaces
  history like the mcp reference pattern
- polish: nullable-reason comment on logs startDate/endDate, stale debounce
  TSDoc now references useDebouncedSearchSetter

* fix(url-state): review fixes — resolve custom-block deep links before opening detail, per-surface time-range fallback

- custom-blocks: gate the detail view on the resolved block (matching mcp/
  access-control), so a dead or still-loading ?custom-block-id no longer flashes
  a bogus create screen
- parseAsTimeRange: unknown tokens now parse to null so each surface's
  .withDefault applies (logs keeps 'All time'; audit-logs keeps 'Past 30 days'
  instead of silently widening to all time on a malformed link)
- audit-logs: date-picker cancel target can never be 'Custom range' itself on a
  dateless custom deep link
- refresh shared ?search= consumer lists in TSDoc

* improvement(url-state): platform-wide sweep — migrate the last three view-state stragglers, codify conventions

Sweep across landing, workspace, and settings surfaces found only three
remaining candidates (everything else verified clean or correctly non-URL):

- knowledge document page: chunk enabled-status filter joins page/search/sort in
  the URL (?enabled=), resetting page in the same write
- workflow-mcp-servers: detail Details/Workflows tab deep-links via ?server-tab,
  cleared alongside the server id on close
- byok: provider search binds the shared settings ?search= via a controlled
  prop pair (modal/embedded consumers keep local state)

Rule updates (.claude/rules/sim-url-state.md): shallow defaults documented,
urlKeys kebab remapping, throttleMs deprecation, startTransition with
shallow:false, shared-parser null-fallback rule, resolve-before-open gating,
close-with-replace, and the reusable-component controlled-search pattern.

* improvement(url-state): cleanup pass — replace-on-close for the fork activity view, TSDoc form for the logs nullable comment

* fix(url-state): honor a custom time range only when both bounds are present

A partial ?time-range=custom deep link (missing start/end) now falls back to
the default preset window instead of displaying 'Custom range' while querying
an unbounded result set.

* fix(url-state): verification-round fixes — reject unparseable date params, tighten docs

- new parseAsDateString parser (logs + audit-logs): an unparseable
  ?start-date=/?end-date= now parses to null (missing bound) instead of
  crashing the audit-logs render via Invalid Date .toISOString(), and hardens
  the same class in logs
- audit-logs: remove the provably dead cancel-revert branch and its ref —
  the URL only holds 'Custom range' after Apply writes both bounds atomically
- workflow-mcp-servers: reset a lingering ?server-tab= when opening a server
  so a dead deep link can't re-target the next open
- knowledge document: drop the unreachable 'N selected' label branch
- sim-url-state.md fact-check corrections: cover apps/sim/ee in paths,
  focusedBlockId -> currentBlockId (the real store field), note that
  history/clearOnDefault are nuqs v2 defaults, fix the Suspense
  cross-reference and parseAsIsoDate serialize detail, clarify the *UrlKeys
  naming convention; list byok in the shared-search consumer docs

* fix(url-state): hold first paint while a custom-block deep link can still resolve

A valid ?custom-block-id= no longer flashes the list while the blocks query is
pending; a dead id still falls back to the list once loaded.

* fix(url-state): include permissions loading in the custom-block deep-link paint hold

canAdmin reads false while the permissions context loads, so the hold must
gate on permissionsLoading too; drop the blocksPending conjunct — it shares
one query with useCanPublishCustomBlock, so isLoading already covers it.

Sim.ai Documentation Slack X

Ask DeepWiki Set Up with Cursor

Sim — Integrate, Context, Build, and Monitor AI agents

A workspace to build, deploy and manage AI agents and workflows.

Quickstart

Cloud-hosted: sim.ai

Open sim.ai

Self-hosted

npx simstudio

Open http://localhost:3000

Docker must be installed and running. Use -p, --port <port> to run Sim on a different port, or --no-pull to skip pulling the latest Docker images.

The Sim platform — chat on the left, the visual workflow builder on the right

Capabilities

  • Connect 1,000+ integrations and every major LLM
  • Add Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, databases, and more
  • Build agents visually, conversationally, or with code
  • Ingest files, knowledge bases, and structured table data
  • Monitor runs, logs, schedules, and workflow activity

One workspace, every surface

Chat and workflows are just the start — tables, files, knowledge, and scheduled tasks all live in the same workspace.

Tables in Sim — structured data your agents can query

Tables — a database, built in

Files in Sim — documents for your team and every agent

Files — one store for your team and every agent

Knowledge bases in Sim — synced docs your agents can search

Knowledge — your agents' memory

Scheduled tasks in Sim — recurring agent runs on a calendar

Scheduled tasks — runs on your schedule

Self-hosting

Docker Compose

git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

Open http://localhost:3000

Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM. See the Docker self-hosting docs for setup details.

Manual Setup

Requirements: Bun, Node.js v20+, PostgreSQL 12+ with pgvector

  1. Clone and install:
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git
cd sim
bun install
bun run prepare  # Set up pre-commit hooks
  1. 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.

  1. 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"
  1. Run migrations:
cd packages/db && bun run db:migrate
  1. 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_KEY environment 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.
