Hosted Neotoma
Neotoma runs the same code in four places: your laptop, a tunnel pointed at your laptop, a public demo instance, and - someday - a managed production service. This page explains which hosted flavor you just landed on, or which one you want next.
Every hosted Neotoma exposes the same MCP endpoint at /mcp, the same Inspector at /app, and the same discovery endpoints (/server-info, /.well-known/*). The mode-aware root page at / adapts its copy and connect snippets to the deployment.
Hosted flavors
Public sandbox
LiveWhen to use: Evaluate Neotoma without installing. Share reproducible examples.
- Hosted by the Neotoma team at sandbox.neotoma.io.
- Data is public and resets every Sunday 00:00 UTC.
- Destructive admin endpoints disabled.
- Inspector UI is public.
Personal tunnel
Self-hostedWhen to use: You run Neotoma on your own machine and expose it to remote agents (ChatGPT, claude.ai, phone) via an HTTPS tunnel.
- Data stays on your machine; the tunnel forwards MCP traffic.
- Auth is required for writes - unauthenticated callers only see public discovery endpoints.
- Examples: ngrok, Cloudflare tunnel, Tailscale funnel, Fly.io app pointed at the local DB.
- The root URL of your tunnel renders the same mode-aware landing page shipped with Neotoma, with connect snippets prefilled to your host.
Managed production
PlannedWhen to use: Planned - you want a team-grade Neotoma with SLAs and private storage.
- Not yet offered. The self-hosted path covers most production needs today.
- Talk to us if you need a managed deployment; it informs priorities.
Local first
Most Neotoma users run locally. Your data stays on your machine, every agent on that machine shares one dataset, and you can expose it to remote agents later via a tunnel without migrating storage.
