Marzban (Farsi: "border guard") is an AGPL-3.0 management panel for proxy/censorship-circumvention infrastructure: a web UI, full REST API, Telegram bot for management and notifications, multi-admin support and multi-server scaling. The captured docs surface (in Farsi) is clean, modern and self-consistent, and the project advertises an active maintainer community. Be clear about what this is: infrastructure software with an API and a bot interface, not an autonomous AI agent — it entered our pipeline through demand and is recorded as infrastructure. What this review does NOT cover: no deployment was exercised; claims about scalability and protocol support are the project’s own; the docs surface reviewed is the project’s public site. Medium confidence.

Why STEADY

STEADY (70) because the project shows the durable signals of healthy open source — permissive-copyleft licence stated plainly, REST API, multi-admin, an organised docs site that our engine navigated cleanly (4 screenshots, 3/3 interactions) — while every capability claim remains self-described and nothing was deployed or exercised beyond the public surface.

Public-surface checklist

PASS Homepage loads (required) — 4 screenshots, 3/3 interactions succeeded, no blockers
PASS Primary value prop (required) — unified panel for access management: UI, REST API, scaling, Telegram bot
PASS Licence stated — AGPL-3.0 stated on the captured surface

What it does well

States its licence (AGPL-3.0) and governance (community workgroup) plainly on the front page (captured)
Full REST API advertised for programmatic control (captured)
Docs surface is clean and navigable — engine completed 3/3 interactions without blockers (engine measurement)

What it fails at

All capability claims (scalability, protocol support) are self-described — nothing deployed or exercised in this review
Primary documentation is Farsi-only on the captured surface, which narrows the evaluable audience

Best for

Operators managing proxy access infrastructure who want an API-driven panel with Telegram management
Teams that value copyleft licensing and community maintenance

Not recommended for

Anyone shopping for an AI agent — this is infrastructure software, recorded as such
Buyers needing English-first documentation on the primary site
