InsForge/InsForge

InsForge is an open-source backend platform that provides database, authentication, storage, and model gateway services for coding agents. It exposes these operations through a self-hosted or cloud MCP server and a CLI, allowing agents to provision and manage full-stack application infrastructure.

Project overview

Project type: MCP · Model Runtime · Infrastructure
Use cases: Coding & Development
Deployment: Refer to project documentation
License: Apache-2.0

Best for

Developers and AI engineers using MCP-compatible coding agents who need to provision and manage Postgres, authentication, storage, and LLM gateway resources.

Key capabilities

User management, authentication, and sessions.
Postgres relational database.
S3 compatible file storage.
OpenAI compatible API across multiple LLM providers.
Serverless code running on the edge.
Site build and deployment.
Self-hosted and cloud interface exposing platform operations as tools any MCP-compatible agent can call.
Cloud-only command-line interface paired with Skills that agents invoke directly from the terminal.

Limitations and risks

Compute for long-running container services is currently in private preview.
The CLI + Skills interface is available only in the cloud and is not offered for self-hosted local use.

Getting started

Install Docker and Node.js, clone the repository, copy .env.example to .env, run docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up, and open http://localhost:7130.
