Migration Guide
Moving from self-hosted Paperclip to HostAgentes? Here's how to migrate your agents with zero downtime.
Export your agent configuration
From your self-hosted Paperclip setup, export your agent configuration including model settings, tools, and behavior definitions.
Create a HostAgentes account
Sign up at hostagentes.com. Start with a free 24-hour Pro trial (credit card required; cancel before it ends and you won't be charged) to test the migration with unlimited agents.
Import your configuration
Use the dashboard import tool to upload your agent configuration. We will parse your config and create an equivalent agent on our platform.
Transfer persistent memory
Export your agent's vector store and key-value data, then import it from the dashboard. Your agent will remember everything it knew before.
Update your API endpoint
Point your application to the new HostAgentes API endpoint. Both endpoints can run in parallel during the transition.
Verify and decommission
Monitor both setups for 24–48 hours. Once correct operation is confirmed, decommission your self-hosted instance.
