# About Bezalel

Bezalel is a capability plane for personal agents: one deployable
service that owns capabilities — memory, email, money, texting, a
computer, code sandboxes, and app connectors — and serves them to any
agent runtime over the Model Context Protocol.

## Why it exists

Every new agent framework means re-wiring the same capabilities inside a
different extension model. The tools are the durable asset; the framework
is the replaceable head. Bezalel fixes that inversion: capabilities live
in one service with its own state, credentials, and event routing, and
any agent connects with exactly two values — a URL and a bearer token.
Switching from one framework to the next stops being a migration and
becomes a config change.

## What makes it different

Most tool servers are request/response only. Bezalel also owns the
inbound half: a text to your paired iMessage number or a mail to your
agent's inbox becomes an event that can wake an agent. And the
capabilities are personal — a phone number, an inbox, a wallet, a
computer — not just SaaS connectors.

## How it is run

Each hosted plane serves a single owner, with its own database and
provider credentials — your agents share state with each other, never
with anyone else's. The plane is also self-hostable: it ships as one
container image you can run wherever you like.

## The name

Bezalel is the Bible's craftsman — called by name and filled "with
skill, ability and knowledge" to build the instruments of the
Tabernacle. A fitting patron for the toolkit an agent picks up to do
real work.
