Val Town

Instant deployments for you & your agents

Visit Val Town

Val Town is an automation and internal tools platform for programmers that lets developers and operators deploy websites, APIs, automations, and other tools to live URLs by writing JavaScript. Code is versioned and runs on the platform, combining the convenience of hosted snippets with serverless execution.

Features include instant deploys, cron scheduling, REST API and webhook handling, email sending and receiving, SQLite data storage, npm and Deno module imports, and support for web frameworks like Hono and itty-router. A CLI, MCP integration, and AI agent connections (including Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor) are available, along with version control, code intelligence, team features, and Slack integration.

Val Town is aimed at developers and operators who want working tools without infrastructure configuration. It is packaged with a free plan, Pro and Business paid tiers, and a custom Enterprise option; paid plans can be billed monthly or yearly, with limits varying by tier on runs, cron intervals, custom domains, private vals, and log retention.
