# Veryfront Code, the first full-stack AI framework > Source: > Published: 2026-08-26 08:11:26+00:00 **Build full-stack AI apps and agents with TypeScript and React.** Veryfront 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. Run the same project on Node.js, Deno, or Bun. Connect directly to model providers or OpenAI-compatible local services. [Self-host](https://veryfront.com/docs/code/guides/self-hosting) without a Veryfront account. Use the [Veryfront Cloud AI Gateway](https://veryfront.com/docs/code/guides/providers#veryfront-cloud-ai-gateway) for managed model access, and use [Veryfront Cloud](https://veryfront.com/docs/code/getting-started/cloud-quickstart) for previews and production hosting. Build agents, workflows, and full-stack React applications from one TypeScript project. - - Build AI agents that reason and act. Give them instructions, models, tools, skills, memory, and durable hosted execution.**Agents** - - Add project-level agent capabilities with**Skills**`SKILL.md` files. Skills package instructions, allowed tools, and scripts. - - Define Zod-validated functions that agents can call. Tools are discovered from files, so you do not need manual registration.**Tools** - - Reuse named prompt templates across agents, tools, MCP servers, and application code.**Prompts** - - Turn source documents into project knowledge files that agents can use as context.**Knowledge** - - Give agents conversation history, streamed responses, and React chat UI components with AG-UI support.**Memory & Streaming** - - Compose orchestrators and sub-agents that delegate to each other as tools for coordinated work.**Multi-Agent Systems** - - Define file-based background jobs that Veryfront Code discovers and runs as task executions.**Tasks** - - Orchestrate multi-step AI pipelines with branching, parallel steps, approval gates, and durable Redis checkpoints.**Workflows** - - Execute durable task, workflow, and agent work through project-scoped run records.**Runs** - - Expose tools, prompts, and resources through MCP with SSE transport, sessions, and elicitation.**MCP Server** - - Run isolated code in ephemeral compute environments with shell tools and agent-service integration.**Sandbox** - - Add third-party services with connectors for OAuth, remote tools, and service metadata.**Integrations** - - Build app routes with files, React Server Components, layouts, and server-side rendering.**Pages & Routing** - - 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). - - Extend Veryfront Code with contract-based packages for LLM providers, bundling, CSS, tracing, caching, and more.**Extensions** The default `ai-agent` starter targets Node.js 22.3 or later. This path uses direct OpenAI inference. Create the project, configure inference, and start the development server: ``` npm create veryfront@latest my-agent -- --template ai-agent cd my-agent export OPENAI_API_KEY="" npm run dev ``` Open the URL printed by the CLI and ask `What is 128 divided by 8?` . The agent calls the starter's calculator tool and returns `16` . To use the Veryfront Cloud AI Gateway, another provider, an OpenAI-compatible local service, or the optional ONNX extension, [select another inference path](https://veryfront.com/docs/code/guides/providers) before the first request. Node.js is the default runtime. Select Deno or Bun explicitly: ``` npx veryfront@latest init --template ai-agent --runtime deno npx veryfront@latest init --template ai-agent --runtime bun ``` Follow the [Quickstart guide](https://veryfront.com/docs/code/getting-started/quickstart) for the complete first project, including its smoke eval. See [Create a project](https://veryfront.com/docs/code/getting-started/create-project) for every setup option. ## Use another package manager These commands open the project wizard: ``` pnpm create veryfront yarn create veryfront bun create veryfront deno init --npm veryfront ``` ## Choose another starter Choose a starter with `--template` : ``` npx veryfront@latest init --template
