Run Matrix Synapse in Even

Even Stacks launches Matrix Synapse 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 Matrix Synapse in the one-click services and click Launch.
  3. Even pulls the image, starts it on port 8008, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://synapse.localhost.

Drive Matrix Synapse with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate Matrix Synapse 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 Matrix Synapse and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: Generate config: docker exec -it <container> python -m synapse.app.homeserver -c /data/homeserver.yaml --generate-config --server-name localhost --report-stats=no, then edit /data/homeserver.yaml and restart. Register users with docker exec register_new_matrix_user -c /data/homeserver.yaml http://localhost:8008. Connect using Element.
