maubot

Why we included this project

maubot lets you run self-hosted bots inside Matrix rooms without building on top of a generic framework. It's a plugin-based runner written in Python: you load plugin code through a management web UI, and maubot covers the Matrix client side, including sync loops, room management, permissions, and end-to-end encryption. That leaves you to write the bot logic instead of the protocol plumbing. A public plugin registry and an active community mean common jobs, like moderation shortcuts or room automations, often have ready-made extensions you can adapt. If your team already works in Matrix and wants automations that live inside existing rooms, this is a low-overhead way to ship them.
