# apowerb

> The open-source core: what the package is, and what it is not.

[`apowerb`](https://github.com/apowerb/apowerb) is the core of the stack: a FastAPI server
that stores agents, builds them on Google ADK, runs them, and exposes the whole thing over
REST. It is published on [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/apowerb/) under the MIT licence
and installs on Python 3.10+.

```bash theme={null}
pip install apowerb
apowerb serve
```

It needs a PostgreSQL database and an `ENCRYPT_KEY`; everything else has a default. See
[Installation](/installation) and [Configuration](/configuration).

## What it contains

Agent CRUD and generation, ADK execution with streaming, sessions and traces, the
[tool](/guides/tools) portfolio and [skills](/guides/skills), [RAG](/guides/rag) and
[Text-to-SQL](/guides/text-to-sql) clients, [webhooks](/guides/webhooks),
[integrations](/guides/integrations/overview), BI charts and dashboards, artifacts, the
[Hub](/guides/hub), scheduled runs through an [orchestrator](/guides/orchestrator), and
[supervision](/monitoring/supervision).

## What it does not contain

Billing, usage metering and quotas, B2B prospecting, identity-provider sign-in,
multi-factor authentication, agent evaluation and the administration panel are commercial
bricks. They are **absent**, not disabled — their routes answer `404`. See
[Editions and extensions](/concepts/editions).

The core keeps hooks where a brick can answer, and holds a safe default when none does:
without a brick, supervision shows each person only their own sessions.

## Versioning

The published version is the git tag of the release, not the number in `pyproject.toml` —
the release workflow injects it at build time, so the file itself lags. Read the version
from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/apowerb/) or from the tags.
