Holonic
Concept · Architecture
The unit of capability:the workbench.
A workbench is where one capability lives - self-contained, composable, and yours. It's the atomic building block every Fathym product is made of.
What it is
One capability, done well.
A workbench does one thing - connect a data source, run a class of queries, host an API, manage access. Self-contained, so you can reason about it on its own.
Because it's a holon, it composes: workbenches snap together into a workshop without losing what each one is. Bring it into a workshop, and your team builds on it.
Provided or your own
Use ours, or build your own.
Fathym-provided
OpenX ships full of workbenches - connect data, surfaces, warm queries, APIs, team, security, workflow, MCP. Ready to bring into your workshop.
Your own, custom
Encode your own capability as a workbench - your way of working, versioned and owned. It composes with everything else the same way.
Hostable
Host a workbench as an MCP server, so any AI tool can use it. The same workbench can become an API and a UI as you need them.
Portable
A workbench is yours and it travels - across tools, across sessions, across teams. Fire us, keep running.
Host it
One command to bring a workbench to any AI.
Host a workbench as an MCP server and any AI tool can use it - Claude Code, Cursor, whatever you run.
