Mastra

TypeScript framework for building AI agents and AI-powered applications

Visit Mastra

Mastra is an open-source TypeScript framework for building AI agents and AI-powered applications. It addresses the need to develop, run, and maintain agents that use language models and tools to solve open-ended tasks, while keeping the surrounding application logic, data access, and deployment in one codebase. The framework can be integrated into React, Next.js, and Node.js applications or deployed as a standalone server.

Its core modules include typed agents, a graph-based workflow engine with control-flow methods and human-in-the-loop steps, memory with conversation history and retrieval, workspaces, and observability covering traces, metrics, logs, evals, experiments, scorers, and datasets. Model routing connects to many providers through a single interface, and Mastra can author Model Context Protocol servers. Guardrails process inputs and outputs, and optional deployers support Vercel, Netlify, and Cloudflare.

Mastra is aimed at TypeScript developers building conversational agents, domain-specific copilots, workflow automations, and decision-support tools. The core framework is open source under Apache 2.0, while enterprise features are source-available under a separate license. The Mastra Platform offers a free Starter plan with unlimited users, deployments, and projects, a paid Teams plan for growing teams, and a custom-priced Enterprise edition with RBAC, audit logs, support SLAs, and on-premises deployment.
