The first and only open‑source, self‑hostable fax API with a complete Admin Console. Send faxes in minutes without touching the command line.

Most users follow one simple path: start the container, open the Admin Console, complete the Setup Wizard, and send a test fax.

Why Faxbot

• Open source and self‑hostable end‑to‑end: run it entirely on your infra, modify as needed.
• One API, many backends: switch Phaxio ↔ Sinch ↔ self‑hosted SIP/Asterisk via environment settings.
• Bring‑your‑own SIP trunk: choose any SIP provider; migrate later by changing a couple of env vars.
• Fully local option: when using SIP, no third‑party cloud in the path; artifacts stay on your storage (S3/MinIO supported).
• AI assistant tools built‑in: MCP servers (Node & Python) for stdio/HTTP/SSE; desktop stdio supports filePath (no base64 size pain).
• Inbound receiving: cloud webhooks with signature verification or Asterisk ReceiveFAX → TIFF→PDF, mailbox routing, short‑TTL tokens, retention windows.
• Test/dev backend: simulate send/receive flows without hitting a paid provider.
• Vendor‑neutral SDKs: identical Node/Python clients so your app code is portable.
