Forge is an open-source, self-hosted visual builder for LangChain/LangGraph agents
The author is building Forge, an MIT-licensed platform for visually creating, testing, and shipping AI agents and workflows on your own infrastructure.
It includes:
- a visual canvas for agents, tools, RAG, routers, loops, human handoff, and triggers
- prompt, tool, knowledge, middleware, and compiled-prompt views
- tool builders for REST, GraphQL, SQL, code, MCP, and built-ins
- RAG with uploaded docs, URLs, chunks, embeddings, and search debugging
- MCP server/client support
- run API, embeddable widget, email channel
- traces, evals, token/cost tracking, budgets, guardrails, RBAC, and audit logs
- local dev without requiring Docker, Postgres, or Redis at startup
The author is asking people who build real agent workflows what is missing, what feels overbuilt, and what would make them fork or contribute.
