# MANEF App Catalog

## Purpose

Understand which MSO apps are managed locally and which connect an existing instance.

## Audience

MSO owners choosing Hermes, OpenClaw, 9Router or an n8n connection.

## Requirements

An installed MSO host for real management. Each app has its own backend requirements; n8n needs an owner-provided instance.

## First step

Read the app comparison, then run doctor on your own MSO host before choosing an installer or connection.

## Outcome

Know which adapter and host prerequisites fit your app. The four-entry JSON is discovery metadata.

## Availability and limits

Public product / guide. The four v1 entries are metadata. Reviewed MSO adapters own installation; connected instances need owner-provided addresses.

## User story and flow

As an MSO owner, I want to distinguish managed apps from connection templates before changing my host. Flow: catalog → brief → first action → outcome. Acceptance: Know which adapter and host prerequisites fit your app. The four-entry JSON is discovery metadata.
