The framework includes features such as agents, tools, workflows, and MCP server support, and can be self-hosted or used with Veryfront Cloud. Developers can start with the default ai-agent template targeting Node.js 22.3 or later, using direct OpenAI inference.", "body_md": "**Build full-stack AI apps and agents with TypeScript and React.**\n\nVeryfront Code is an open-source, full-stack framework that keeps React routes, agents, typed tools, evals, and multi-step workflows in one file-based TypeScript project. Developers and coding agents work from the same source and conventions.\n\nRun the same project on Node.js, Deno, or Bun. Connect directly to model providers or OpenAI-compatible local services.\n\n[Self-host](https://veryfront.com/docs/code/guides/self-hosting) without a\nVeryfront account. Use the [Veryfront Cloud AI Gateway](https://veryfront.com/docs/code/guides/providers#veryfront-cloud-ai-gateway)\nfor managed model access, and use [Veryfront Cloud](https://veryfront.com/docs/code/getting-started/cloud-quickstart)\nfor previews and production hosting.\n\nBuild agents, workflows, and full-stack React applications from one TypeScript project.\n\n-\n- Build AI agents that reason and act. Give them instructions, models, tools, skills, memory, and durable hosted execution.**Agents** -\n- Add project-level agent capabilities with**Skills**`SKILL.md`\n\nfiles. Skills package instructions, allowed tools, and scripts. -\n- Define Zod-validated functions that agents can call. Tools are discovered from files, so you do not need manual registration.**Tools** -\n- Reuse named prompt templates across agents, tools, MCP servers, and application code.**Prompts** -\n- Turn source documents into project knowledge files that agents can use as context.**Knowledge** -\n- Give agents conversation history, streamed responses, and React chat UI components with AG-UI support.**Memory & Streaming** -\n- Compose orchestrators and sub-agents that delegate to each other as tools for coordinated work.**Multi-Agent Systems** -\n- Define file-based background jobs that Veryfront Code discovers and runs as task executions.**Tasks** -\n- Orchestrate multi-step AI pipelines with branching, parallel steps, approval gates, and durable Redis checkpoints.**Workflows** -\n- Execute durable task, workflow, and agent work through project-scoped run records.**Runs** -\n- Expose tools, prompts, and resources through MCP with SSE transport, sessions, and elicitation.**MCP Server** -\n- Run isolated code in ephemeral compute environments with shell tools and agent-service integration.**Sandbox** -\n- Add third-party services with connectors for OAuth, remote tools, and service metadata.**Integrations** -\n- Build app routes with files, React Server Components, layouts, and server-side rendering.**Pages & Routing** -\n- Load server data, define API handlers, and add**Data Fetching & API Routes**[middleware](https://veryfront.com/docs/code/guides/middleware)with built-in[OAuth](https://veryfront.com/docs/code/guides/oauth). -\n- Extend Veryfront Code with contract-based packages for LLM providers, bundling, CSS, tracing, caching, and more.**Extensions**\n\nThe default `ai-agent`\n\nstarter targets Node.js 22.3 or later. This path uses\ndirect OpenAI inference. Create the project, configure inference, and start the\ndevelopment server:\n\n```\nnpm create veryfront@latest my-agent -- --template ai-agent\ncd my-agent\nexport OPENAI_API_KEY=\"\"\nnpm run dev\n```\n\nOpen the URL printed by the CLI and ask `What is 128 divided by 8?`\n\n. The agent\ncalls the starter's calculator tool and returns `16`\n\n.\n\nTo use the Veryfront Cloud AI Gateway, another provider, an OpenAI-compatible\nlocal service, or the optional ONNX extension, [select another inference path](https://veryfront.com/docs/code/guides/providers)\nbefore the first request.\n\nNode.js is the default runtime. Select Deno or Bun explicitly:\n\n```\nnpx veryfront@latest init --template ai-agent --runtime deno\nnpx veryfront@latest init --template ai-agent --runtime bun\n```\n\nFollow the [Quickstart guide](https://veryfront.com/docs/code/getting-started/quickstart)\nfor the complete first project, including its smoke eval. See\n[Create a project](https://veryfront.com/docs/code/getting-started/create-project)\nfor every setup option.\n\n## Use another package manager\n\nThese commands open the project wizard:\n\n```\npnpm create veryfront\nyarn create veryfront\nbun create veryfront\ndeno init --npm veryfront\n```\n\n## Choose another starter\n\nChoose a starter with `--template`\n\n:\n\n```\nnpx veryfront@latest init --template
