DeepTutor

by HKUDS Agent harness in Personal assistants

deeptutor.info since 2026 · who's behind it

DeepTutor is an open-source, self-hosted learning workspace from HKUDS for tutoring, quizzes, research reports and knowledge bases, with persistent memory and optional multiple users. It runs as a web app, and a deeptutor CLI emits NDJSON for other agents.

Best for A learner, a teacher or a small group that wants a self-hosted tutor over their own documents, with quizzes, research reports, memory and IM companions, or for an agent that hands study tasks to it through the JSON CLI.

Is this your product? Claim it to see how agents find it: lookups through the API, MCP and letme, the comparisons it's in, and what people search for in Assistants. Free, and it never changes the grade. Or verify it, or log in if it's already claimed.

Assessment. DeepTutor runs on the owner's machine under Apache 2.0, ships releases every few days with upgrade notes, and gives other agents a JSON CLI with resumable sessions. Its default launch binds all interfaces with sign-in off and permissive CORS, there is no security policy, and two CVEs in 2026 covered a shell-tool RCE and a multi-user MCP bypass, both fixed.

From our research 12 facts checked against the vendor's pages
Where it runs
The owner's machine or server. PyPI deeptutor (core chat, CLI and SDK) and deeptutor[full] (web app and feature modules) for Python 3.11 to 3.14 with Node.js 20 or later, Docker images ghcr.io/hkuds/deeptutor, or a source checkout. No hosted service from the project was found
Surfaces
Next.js web app on port 3782, FastAPI backend with HTTP and WebSocket routes on port 8001, interactive deeptutor chat, one-shot deeptutor run with NDJSON output, a Python SDK in the core package, and Partners answering on IM channels
What it does
Tutoring chat, question and quiz generation, cited research reports, worked solutions, visualisations, video lessons, mastery paths, immersive reading of documents and video, generated books, a learning notebook, practice with spaced repetition, a task board and a calendar
Knowledge bases
LlamaIndex (default), PageIndex, GraphRAG, LightRAG, LightRAG Server, WeKnora, Tencent IMA, MarginNote 4, Kiwix and linked Obsidian vaults, with versioned re-indexing, GitHub and documentation-site sync, and deeptutor kb eval retrieval metrics
Memory
File-backed three layers. L1 workspace mirror and append-only event trace, L2 per-surface facts, L3 cross-surface synthesis, with a memory graph and deeptutor memory show and clear
Acts without asking
The chat agent calls its tools when the model chooses, including exec for generated code inside the sandbox backend, web_fetch, memory writes and consult_subagent. Writes outside outputs/ need an Allow once confirmation. Partner shell exec is off until an admin sets allow_shell_exec
Other agents
Consults Claude Code, Codex, Grok CLI, Antigravity, Kimi, opencode, MiMo Code, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw or DeepSeek Harness on the same machine, and imports ChatGPT, Claude Code and Codex history as third-party transcripts
Channels
Partners answer on Feishu, Telegram, Slack, Discord, DingTalk, QQ, WeCom, WhatsApp, Zulip, Mattermost, Matrix, Mochat and Microsoft Teams, depending on installed extras and credentials
Credentials
Provider keys in data/user/settings/model_catalog.json. Codex and Copilot tokens under data/system/user-secrets/<owner>/, outside the trees the exec sandbox can reach, per the README
Outbound traffic
The chosen model, embedding, search and speech providers, configured MCP services, IM channels, the EduHub and ClawHub skill hubs when used, a version check against GitHub's releases API, and npm metadata for Codex sign-in. No telemetry code was found in the files read
Advisories
CVE-2026-51870 (critical, TutorBot shell tool in v1.4.0, closed in v1.4.1) and GHSA-jg88-rvpc-qvxj (CVE-2026-58168, high, multi-user MCP bypass before 1.4.10)
Releases
v1.7.0 on 28 October 2026, v1.6.15 on 18 October, v1.6.14 on 8 October. 88 GitHub releases since v0.2.0 on 2 January 2026

Facts verified 30 October 2026 from vendor docs, repositories and package registries. JSON · Markdown

Strengths

  • Apache 2.0, self-hosted, and the README says the project sells nothing
  • deeptutor run ... --format json streams NDJSON tagged with session_id, and --session chains turns headlessly
  • SKILL.md and AGENT_SETUP.md give an agent a non-interactive setup path with config apply --check and doctor --format json
  • Releases every few days with dated notes and upgrade steps, 27 in the 90 days to 30 October 2026
  • Inspectable file-backed memory with an append-only L1 trace, and grants, audit records and per-user isolation in multi-user mode

Weaknesses

  • The default launch binds the backend to 0.0.0.0 with sign-in off and CORS open to any origin with credentials
  • No SECURITY.md, no private reporting route and no repository-published advisories, while two CVEs were assigned in 2026
  • The exec sandbox falls back to a best-effort restricted subprocess by default when no runner or bubblewrap is present
  • Nightly test runs on main failed every night from 20 to 28 October 2026 before passing again on 29 and 30 October
  • Provider keys are stored in plain JSON under data/user/settings/

Before you call it notes for agents

  1. Run deeptutor run <capability> "..." --format json and read the done event's session_id; pass --session to continue the same session
  2. Configure with deeptutor config apply setup.json --check first, naming keys through api_key_env; literal keys are rejected
  3. Before exposing it beyond one machine, enable sign-in in auth.json, set exact cors_origins and set BACKEND_HOST=127.0.0.1 where loopback is wanted
  4. Run 1.4.10 or later. Earlier versions carry CVE-2026-51870 (shell tool RCE, fixed in 1.4.1) and CVE-2026-58168 (multi-user MCP bypass)
  5. Set sandbox_allow_subprocess to false where generated code must run only in the runner sidecar or bubblewrap

Terms and privacy, as read

Terms of service none to read

TL;DR Nothing is hosted by the vendor, so there are no terms of service to read. The Apache-2.0 licence stands in and the check scores in full.

Privacy policy none to read

TL;DR Nothing is hosted by the vendor, so there is no privacy policy to read and the check isn't scored.

A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. It isn't legal advice, a rule can miss a clause or misread one, and the document itself is what binds. How it's read and scored.

No legal entity is named. The repository belongs to the GitHub organisation HKUDS, the Data Intelligence Lab at the University of Hong Kong, and the README says the project is led by Bingxi Zhao within the HKUDS group.

deeptutor.info's robots.txt disallows ClaudeBot, Claude-Web and anthropic-ai, so its pages were not read. Its terms, privacy page and security.txt are unknown.

No SECURITY.md was found in the repository tree on 30 October 2026.

RDAP gives a registration date of 20 May 2026 for deeptutor.info. The README dates the docs site's launch to 22 May 2026.

There is no hosted endpoint. The API answers on the owner's own host.

Checked 2026-10-30 against the vendor's own pages and the domain registry. Provenance is half of Transparency & trust.

Humans behind the project who makes it and where to get help

Key people

HKUDS on GitHub

Researched 30 October 2026 from public pages. Key people: deeptutor's readme names bingxi zhao, xingyu hou and jiahao zhang as maintainers with their github accounts, says the project is led by bingxi zhao within the hkuds group, and thanks chao huang as director of the data intelligence lab at hku. citation.cff lists bingxi zhao, jiahao zhang, xubin ren, zirui guo, tianzhe chu, yi ma and chao huang as authors of the arxiv paper 2604.26962. chao huang's entry, linkedin, x and bio are carried over from the hkuds humans file for nanobot of 28 october 2026. the readme's contact is a personal email address, left out. hkuds is a university lab, so no investors were looked for; the readme says the project has no paid products.. Shown for information, not part of the grade yet. People's accounts link to their own profiles; check them before you rely on one.

Notable

  • The README calls it an agent-native learning workspace. Chat, Ask Questions, Quiz, Research, Visualize, Solve, Mastery Path, Immersive Reading, Audio Overview and Video Lesson share one capability runtime and session context source
  • deeptutor run <capability> "<message>" --format json streams NDJSON, one event per line (content, tool_call, tool_result, done), each tagged with session_id, and --session continues a session. With no TTY an ask_user pause resolves with an empty reply instead of hanging source
  • A root SKILL.md and docs-for-dev/AGENT_SETUP.md are written for an outside agent installing and driving it. deeptutor config apply setup.json --check validates a setup without writing settings, emits JSON and exits with code 2 on invalid input, and literal keys or credentials in URLs are rejected source
  • deeptutor start and deeptutor serve bind the backend to 0.0.0.0, sign-in is off by default, and with sign-in off the API's CORS setting accepts any http or https origin with credentials source
  • Generated code runs through one exec tool on the strongest available backend, a runner sidecar, Linux bubblewrap or a restricted subprocess fallback that is allowed by default and shown as best effort. Execution is read-only outside outputs/, and copying a file elsewhere needs an Allow once confirmation source
  • CVE-2026-51870 (critical, NVD, published 30 September 2026) covers command execution through the TutorBot shell tool in v1.4.0. The v1.4.1 notes of 27 May 2026 list it (#506) with a shell RCE, a path traversal and three authorisation bypasses as closed, and make shell exec opt-in source
  • GHSA-jg88-rvpc-qvxj (CVE-2026-58168, high, published 30 June 2026) let non-admin users in multi-user mode invoke unrestricted MCP tools before 1.4.10, which made MCP tools deny-by-default for non-admins on 21 June 2026 source
  • No SECURITY.md or private reporting route was found in the repository, and the repository security-advisories endpoint listed no published advisories on 30 October 2026 source
  • The README dates the official release to 29 December 2025. The repository was created on 28 December 2025 and the first GitHub release, v0.2.0, is dated 2 January 2026. 88 releases to v1.7.0 on 28 October 2026 source
  • HKUDS also publishes nanobot and Vibe-Trading, both listed here. DeepTutor does neither LocalGhost's job nor letme's. It is a learning workspace, and it rates or routes no tools

Score breakdown methodology v0.7 · October 2026 research run

Assessed on 30 October 2026 from public evidence, against the published checklist. Confidence medium. Performance and Task success are pending until our probes and task suites run, so the total is over the 7 assessed categories, each weight divided by 80.

CategoryWeight this runScorePoints
Reliabilitychecked 30 October 2026 16%20 15.6
Read with the local-software lines, as for nanobot and Vibe-Trading, since the owner runs it. deeptutor and deeptutor[full] install from PyPI for Python 3.11 to 3.14 with Node.js 20 or later stated, and versioned images are on GHCR. The PyPI page answered with a bot check and wasn't read; the PyPI release workflow on main succeeded on 28 October 2026 (20). A Tests workflow runs on pushes and pull requests to main, dev and preview and nightly, with about 1,000 Python test files and about 440 web test files in the tree. The latest runs on main passed on 28, 29 and 30 October, but the nightly run failed every night from 20 to 28 October and once on push on 28 October (15 of 25). 141 open issues and 127 open pull requests on 30 October 2026, with recent issues labelled bug or enhancement. Issue threads weren't read, a judgement call (15 of 25). CONTRIBUTING.md ties conventional commits to minor and patch bumps, and release notes carry Upgrade Notes, with the 1.6.3 front and back-end refactor and the 1.7.0 package split called out as breaking (13 of 15). Version 1.7.0, with 1.0 reached in April 2026 (15).
Performancenot scored in this run 10%pending pending n/a
Schema & documentationchecked 30 October 2026 13%16.2 11.5
Harness reading of the lines, as for nanobot. The FastAPI backend serves FastAPI's OpenAPI file on the owner's host (/openapi.json is named in SECURITY_GUARD.md), deeptutor plugin info <name> prints a tool's schema, and config apply validates against a documented field table. No published OpenAPI file or tool manifest outside the running program (18 of 25). llms.txt on deeptutor.info couldn't be checked because its robots.txt disallows ClaudeBot and anthropic-ai. The repository has SKILL.md, AGENTS.md and a Markdown developer handbook in docs-for-dev (5 of 10). SKILL.md says when to use the CLI and lists every command with its options, and AGENT_SETUP.md says what each check proves and what it doesn't, such as that doctor --online does not verify embedding (14 of 20). CLI options are typed with documented choices (--format rich|json, --mode), but capability settings pass as free --config key=value pairs or --config-json (9 of 15). Many worked examples, a troubleshooting method and a reasoning-safety checklist, with exit code 2 documented for invalid setup JSON and no full table of exit codes or error events (11 of 15). 88 GitHub releases with dated notes, per-version release files in the repository and upgrade steps (14 of 15).
Agent ergonomicschecked 30 October 2026 13%16.2 10.2
Harness reading, scored on what an agent or script driving it has to supply. Driven through the CLI rather than as an MCP server. SKILL.md is about 12,800 characters, and NDJSON output streams every content, tool_call and tool_result event with no documented filter for a final answer only (15 of 25). kb search takes a mode and kb eval a top-k, session list takes --limit, and modules can be disabled to shrink the surface, with no documented cap on streamed output (12 of 20). doctor --format json reports each check, config apply emits JSON and exits with code 2, failed retrieval cases are reported apart from scores, and quota and catalogue errors are reported as they are (13 of 20). --session resumes a session, the turn runtime is described as restart-safe with recoverable streams, interrupted LlamaIndex rebuilds resume from checkpoints, the ChatGPT import is idempotent, and ask_user resolves with an empty reply when there is no TTY (13 of 20). pip install, deeptutor init --non-interactive and deeptutor start start it with default ports, a model provider must be configured first, and the SDK is Python only beside the HTTP API (10 of 15).
Security & authchecked 30 October 2026 14%17.5 8.9
Harness reading used for nanobot and Vibe-Trading. 30 for what leaves the machine and who can reach it by default, 20 for approvals and sandboxing, 15 for prompt-injection posture, 15 for audit and 20 for the security programme. No telemetry code was found in the files read; services/llm/telemetry.py only writes debug and warning log lines. Outbound calls the README names are the chosen providers, skill hubs when used, a version check against GitHub's releases API and npm metadata for Codex sign-in. deeptutor start and deeptutor serve bind the backend to 0.0.0.0 and the launcher sets the frontend HOSTNAME to 0.0.0.0, sign-in is off by default, and with sign-in off main.py sets CORS to any http or https origin with credentials. Provider keys sit in plain JSON under data/user/settings/, while OAuth tokens sit outside the sandbox's reach (12). Execution is read-only outside outputs/, copies elsewhere need an Allow once confirmation, a runner sidecar or bubblewrap isolates code when present, and the restricted subprocess fallback is allowed by default and labelled best effort. Partner shell exec is off until an admin enables it, MCP tools are deny-by-default for non-admins, and skill imports pass a gate that checks the hub's verdict and strips always: (13). Imported conversations are read as third-party transcripts, web search results are filtered to public http and https URLs with optional domain lists, and the README says API keys never pass through the model. No general guidance on untrusted text in fetched pages or documents was found (7). L1 memory is an append-only event trace, multi-user mode keeps audit records and grants, tool activity streams to an Activity panel, and usage accounting persists (11). No SECURITY.md, no private reporting route and no repository-published advisory. The two CVEs were filed by outside parties, and fixes were listed in release notes with issue numbers. CONTRIBUTING.md names pip-audit, Bandit and a secrets baseline (6).
Payments & pricingchecked 30 October 2026 10%12.5 7.5
Read with the self-hosted rule. No payment protocol (0). Free under the Apache 2.0 licence with nothing to buy from the project, so 20, 20 and 20 on the last three lines. The README says the project has no paid online products, and it runs with a local model through Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, vLLM or Lemonade with no sign-up. The PageIndex discount code and the API Route preset in the README are third parties' products and are not scored.

Maintenance & communitychecked 30 October 2026 7%8.8 7.3
v1.7.0 was published on 28 October 2026, two days before this check (30). 27 GitHub releases in the 90 days to 30 October, v1.5.8 to v1.7.0 (20). The lead maintainer has 1,723 commits and the first page of contributors lists 27 other people with eight or more, against 141 open issues and 127 open pull requests. Thread replies weren't read, a judgement call (17 of 25). Not an MCP server, so the registry line does not apply. A Python SDK in the core package, versioned GHCR images and matching feature wheels ship from the same repository (11 of 15). Dependencies carry version bounds and feature wheels must match the core version, but no Dependabot configuration was found and nightly tests failed for nine nights in October (6 of 10).
Transparency & trusteditorial 65, provenance 39checked 30 October 2026 7%8.8 4.5
Apache 2.0 (30). There is no hosted service, so no privacy policy is needed. DATA_STORAGE.md names where settings, credentials, chat history, memory, knowledge bases, logs and audit records live, says SQLite is the only supported database and says every backup is sensitive. Nothing was found stating what each provider receives beyond the README's provider list (16 of 30). Release notes carry Upgrade Notes, and renames and retirements are dated (TutorBot to Partners in 1.4.3, Co-Writer to the Learning notebook and deeptutor-cli to a compatibility alias in 1.7.0). No deprecation policy or notice period (9 of 20). No telemetry was found in the files read, and the version check has a settings toggle, but the docs read carry no statement on telemetry (10 of 20).

  • 2026-09-30. CVE-2026-51870 (critical on NVD). Command execution through the TutorBot shell tool's ExecTool.execute in v1.4.0, reported in issue #506. v1.4.1 of 27 May 2026 lists it closed with a shell RCE (#518), a filesystem path traversal (#517) and three authorisation bypasses (#514 to #516), and makes shell exec opt-in.

  1. Graded 62.7 B methodology v0.7

Fix list 27 items, the biggest gain first

Everything this grade says the listing lacks, from the reasons above, the checklist, the provenance checks, the deductions, what we couldn't check and what the review panel asked for, with the steps, ready to paste into a coding agent working on DeepTutor. A fix counts at the next check, once it's public.

What we couldn't check

  • Category. personal-assistants, as the lead suggested, because DeepTutor works for one person (or a small group) over their own materials, remembers them and answers on IM channels. It is a tutor rather than a general assistant over mail and calendar, and no learning or education category exists in data/categories.json. local-ai was the other candidate. Judgement call.
  • Kind is harness, the kind used for nanobot and Vibe-Trading, since it is an agent program the owner runs that other agents drive through its CLI. Graded with the local-software Reliability lines, the harness reading of Schema, Ergonomics and Security, and the self-hosted Payments rule.
  • firstReleased is 29 December 2025, the date the README gives for the official release. The repository was created on 28 December 2025 and the first GitHub release, v0.2.0, is dated 2 January 2026. Nothing shows the code was public before 29 December.
  • deeptutor.info. Its robots.txt disallows ClaudeBot, Claude-Web and anthropic-ai, so the site is off-limits. /llms.txt and /.well-known/security.txt were requested in the same command as robots.txt, before it was read, and both answered 404; nothing from those two responses is used here, and both are recorded as unchecked. The docs site's terms, privacy page and Agent Handoff page are unchecked.
  • unchecked: PyPI release dates, versions and classifiers. pypi.org answered with a bot check, which we didn't try to pass. Release dates are from GitHub releases.
  • unchecked: issue and pull request threads, so responsiveness rests on counts and labels on the issues page.
  • unchecked: the whole source for outbound calls. Only the files named in sources were read, since the project was neither cloned nor run. No telemetry was found in them.
  • unchecked: whether the version check is on by default. app_update.py calls GitHub's releases API, and the launcher refers to an update-check toggle in system.json.
  • The 0.0.0.0 binding with sign-in off and credentialed permissive CORS is a reading of run_server.py, launcher.py and main.py on main. It was not tested. The README's Docker examples publish ports on 127.0.0.1 only.
  • Deduction of 3 for two CVEs in the last 12 months, both fixed and listed in release notes, weighed against nanobot's -6 and Vibe-Trading's -4. CVE-2026-51870 was published by NVD four months after the v1.4.1 fix and NVD lists no fixed version; v1.4.1's notes name issue #506 as closed. Judgement call.
  • No SECURITY.md was found and the repository has no published advisories; GHSA-jg88-rvpc-qvxj is a reviewed GitHub advisory database entry, read through OSV.
  • The README lists a personal email address for the lead maintainer as the contact. It is left out of the humans file under the rule on personal email addresses.
  • Our own products. DeepTutor doesn't do LocalGhost's job (a personal AI server archiving the owner's photos, location and health data) or letme's (choosing tools from our grades). Graded the normal way.
  • No legal entity was established. HKUDS is a GitHub organisation for the Data Intelligence Lab at the University of Hong Kong.

Probe metrics

Not measured yet. Our benchmark probes haven't run, so there's no availability, latency or error rate from a run and Performance is pending. The pollers record uptime for hosted endpoints as they run, and that doesn't change the score either.

Pricing & changes

Free Free · OSS Free under the Apache 2.0 licence, and the README says the project has no paid online products. The owner pays the chosen model, embedding and search providers, or nothing with a local model through Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp, vLLM or Lemonade. The README carries a PageIndex discount code and an API Route provider preset, both third parties (checked 2026-10-30).

For the vendor

Is this your product? Link to this page from your own site or README, then tell us where. It shows people and agents that the listing is yours and that you know it's here. It never changes a grade, rank or review.

  1. Add the badge or a link

    On a light page
    On a dark page
    <a href="https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/deeptutor"><img src="https://www.anchorterminal.com/badges/deeptutor.svg" alt="DeepTutor on Anchor Terminal" height="20"></a>
    [![DeepTutor on Anchor Terminal](https://www.anchorterminal.com/badges/deeptutor.svg)](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/deeptutor)
    <a href="https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/deeptutor">DeepTutor on Anchor Terminal</a>

    It counts on a page on deeptutor.info or one of its subdomains, or the README of github.com/HKUDS/DeepTutor.

  2. Tell us where it is

    We read it once now and again every week. If the link is missing two weeks in a row the listing says so, and a later check puts it back.

Agents send the same to POST /api/v1/verify as {"slug": "deeptutor", "url": "…"}, or call the verify_listing tool at /mcp. Ten checks an hour from one address. What we check. To announce the listing, get sharing assets for social media.

For companies

Do agents find, use and choose your tools?

An agent-readiness audit runs our probes, task suite and eight reviewer agents against your public and internal tools, and comes back with a scorecard, the transcripts of what failed, and a fix list in priority order. From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
