⚡ Reliability
Best When
You need a performant, local-first workflow engine with visual editing, type safety, and enterprise features like white-labeling and audit trails. The Rust-based engine delivers exceptional throughput.
Avoid When
You specifically need MCP server integration (none exists), prefer cloud-native workflow tools, or are a large enterprise that would require commercial licensing.
Use Cases
- • Building enterprise automation workflows with a visual drag-and-drop editor
- • Running AI-integrated workflows locally without cloud dependencies
- • White-labeling a workflow platform with SSO, theming, and usage metering
- • Edge computing and offline-capable workflow execution
- • Data pipeline orchestration with type-safe transformations and audit trails
Not For
- • MCP server integration - no MCP support documented
- • Simple single-step automations that don't need a visual builder
- • Teams that prefer code-first over no-code workflow design
- • Organizations over 2000 employees or $300M ARR without enterprise license
Interface
Authentication
SSO/OIDC for user authentication, JWT for programmatic access. Per-tenant scoped secrets for multi-user deployments.
Pricing
Business Source License (BSL) - not truly open source. Free for qualifying smaller organizations, enterprise license required for large orgs.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ No MCP server support whatsoever - listed as MCP package but has none
- ⚠ BSL license restricts use for large organizations
- ⚠ Complex build requirements (Rust, Bun, Node.js, Python, Protobuf)
- ⚠ Primary value is the visual workflow editor, not AI agent integration
