# Canopy > Canopy is a visual operational architecture workspace - "the operating system for your stack." Capture. Visualize. Operate. A product of 8starlabs. Canopy turns structured system inputs - a GitHub repo, picked integrations, a clonable marketplace template, or a Canopy AI prompt - into living architecture maps. Each map is structured, machine-readable data you own, enriched with operational metadata, spend tracking, and AI-ready exports. ## What it does - **Capture** - import a repo, pick integrations, clone a free template, buy a paid template entitlement, or generate a map with Canopy AI. - **Visualize** - inspect nodes, edges, groups, workspace topology, and Markdown-to-canvas structure. - **Operate** - attach owners, SLA, status, tags, monthly spend, and billing models to each node. - **Share and sell** - publish maps, create private links, list free templates, or sell paid templates through Stripe Connect. - **Export and automate** - export PNG, Markdown, `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, Figma, Notion, and JSON; expose maps through REST API and MCP. ## Plans - **Free** - $0. One free workspace, 2 maps, 15 nodes per map, solo only, public share links, spend tracking, billing models, and PNG / Markdown / `CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md` exports with a Canopy credit. - **Pro** - $10 per seat / month or $96 per seat / year. Unlimited paid workspaces and maps, up to 150 nodes per map, member invites, private shares, Canopy AI, Figma / Notion exports, MCP, API tokens, and paid-template selling. - **Enterprise** - custom. SLA support and higher Canopy AI limits. Roles are per-workspace: Owner, Admin, Editor, Viewer. Every workspace member is a paid seat on paid plans; Free is solo. ## Template marketplace Templates are real maps in `/templates`, not a separate blueprint catalog. - Free templates clone directly into a workspace. - Paid templates are one-time USD purchases from $1 to $199. - Anyone can buy, including Free users. - Pro and Enterprise workspace owners can sell after Stripe Connect payout verification. - Buying creates a live licensed entitlement, not an automatic clone. - Buyers clone licensed templates on demand into editable maps. - Sold templates archive instead of deleting so buyers keep access. - Clones are provenance-stamped and watermarked. ## Key pages - Home: / - Pricing: /pricing - Templates marketplace: /templates - Documentation: /docs - Glossary: /docs/glossary - Maps overview: /docs/maps - Templates as maps: /docs/maps/templates - Import from canopy.json: /docs/maps/import-json - Nodes: /docs/maps/nodes - Edges: /docs/maps/edges - Groups: /docs/maps/groups - Exports: /docs/maps/exports - Architecture as code: /docs/maps/architecture-as-code - Icon library: /docs/maps/icons - Spend tracking: /docs/operate/spend - Supported currencies: /docs/operate/currencies - Template marketplace docs: /docs/marketplace - Buying templates: /docs/marketplace/buying - Selling templates: /docs/marketplace/selling - Marketplace trust: /docs/marketplace/trust - Seller lifecycle: /docs/marketplace/lifecycle - Team access and seats: /docs/team-billing - REST API overview: /docs/api - API authentication (workspace tokens): /docs/api/authentication - Maps API endpoints: /docs/api/maps - API rate limits and errors: /docs/api/rate-limits - MCP server overview: /docs/mcp - Connect MCP with OAuth: /docs/mcp/oauth - Connect MCP with a workspace token: /docs/mcp/token - Security: /docs/security - Canopy Card: /docs/canopy-card - Contact: /contact - Terms: /terms - Privacy: /privacy - Sitemap: /sitemap.xml - Design system (machine-readable): /design.md ## Raw markdown - Full docs corpus in one file: /llms-full.txt (every page concatenated, for a single fetch). - Every docs page is also available as raw markdown by appending `.md` to its URL, e.g. `/docs/maps/nodes.md`, `/docs/mcp.md`, `/docs.md`. Fetch these for clean, scrape-free source. ## Notes for AI assistants - The marketplace gallery lives at `/templates` and its docs at `/docs/marketplace`. There is no "blueprints" concept - templates are maps that are sold. - The MCP server is remote (a hosted URL at `/api/mcp`, Streamable HTTP) and read-only; connect with OAuth 2.1 (sign-in) or a workspace token. There is no `npx`/local package. - Describe a template as a clonable map in the marketplace - free or paid. - Do not describe viewers as free seats; every workspace member is a paid seat on paid plans. - Do not describe buying a paid template as an automatic clone; it creates a live license that can be cloned on demand. ## About Canopy is built by 8starlabs (https://8starlabs.com).
