Run ejabberd in Even

Even Stacks launches ejabberd as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.

  1. Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
  2. Find ejabberd in the one-click services and click Launch.
  3. Even pulls the image, starts it on port 5222, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://ejabberd.localhost.

Drive ejabberd with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate ejabberd directly, at both the UI level and the container level.

Through the Even MCP an agent can drive its web UI, create channels or users, and post messages. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up ejabberd and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: Administer the XMPP server via the web panel at http://localhost:5281/admin or with `docker exec <container> ejabberdctl <cmd>` (e.g., `register user domain password`). Config is at `/opt/ejabberd/conf/ejabberd.yml`; Mnesia DB is in `/opt/ejabberd/database`.
