Release
· September 7, 2026 · 2 min read
Canonry is an open-source, agent-first AEO operating system (OS). Version 5.0 releases the full platform under the MIT license. Get the source on GitHub.
All functionality from previous versions remains available in 5.0. Your CLI, API, MCP, dashboard, integrations, measurement, and automation continue to work. The major version marks the license change.
Use the full platform commercially, modify it, self-host it, or build your own product on it.
An AEO OS your agent can operate
Your agent can handle AEO and GEO work: research buyer questions, investigate missing citations, prepare improvements, execute approved changes, and report the results.
01Measure
Collect answers and first-party evidence.
02Investigate
Find gaps and decide what to change.
03Execute
Prepare and publish approved work.
04Verify
Measure again and report the result.
Your agent works through CLI, API, or MCP, alongside its own code and content tools. You control strategy, credentials, budgets, and approvals.
One operation across projects and markets
Canonry connects AI answers with Search Console, GA4, Bing, Google Business Profile, traffic, site audits, and portfolio measurement. Project history, schedules, and evidence persist between agent sessions.
Start with a weak market. Your agent can inspect missing citations, check search demand and indexing, prepare a content update for approval, and compare the next measurement. The AEO work happens in one system, with the evidence behind each decision.
Run Canonry 5.0
npm install -g @canonry/canonry@5.0.0
canonry --version
Back up your configuration and database before upgrading. See the quickstart.
Keep the MIT copyright and permission notice with copies. Earlier releases and third-party dependencies retain their own license terms. The software has no license fee; provider usage and infrastructure costs remain yours. Canonry Custom remains our paid implementation service.

Why call Canonry an AEO operating system?
Canonry connects AI visibility, search and analytics data, site audits, portfolio measurement, approved execution, and reporting in one persistent platform. An agent operates it through CLI, API, or MCP, while project history, schedules, and evidence remain available between sessions.
