What is Velane?
Velane is an agent-first code runtime for AI assistants like Cursor and Claude, exposed through MCP. It lets an agent create, test, and deploy workflows without leaving the chat, using real Bun or Python code in an isolated sandbox. The product is aimed at developers who want AI-generated automations without building and maintaining a separate backend or glue code. It emphasizes production controls, versioning, auditability, and environment promotion from dev to staging to prod.
The core idea is that your agent discovers integrations, pulls live API docs, writes code, and runs it through Velane’s runtime. The website highlights 800+ integrations, zero-token API usage through its proxy layer, and sandboxed execution per invocation. Velane also supports shared credentials, logs, role-based access, and rollback-ready deployment flows for teams. It positions itself as an AI-native alternative to more general workflow or serverless tools.
For solo developers, Velane is pitched as a way to ship integrations in one agent conversation without OAuth plumbing, credential management, or infrastructure setup. For teams, it adds shared credentials, audit trails, and controlled rollouts so multiple agents can use the same connected providers safely. The setup is framed as lightweight: connect MCP, then let the agent write real code and ship it. It is open source and self-hostable, which makes it suitable for users who want more control over runtime and deployment.
Velane is best suited to builders who already use AI coding tools and want those agents to operate more autonomously across real external systems. The website suggests it is especially useful for integrations involving services like Salesforce, Zendesk, HubSpot, Stripe, Notion, Slack, GitHub, and Linear. It appears designed for people who care about production readiness, execution logs, isolation, and long-term maintainability rather than just quick one-off automations.

Frequently asked questions about Velane
What does Velane do?
Velane is an agent-first runtime that lets AI assistants like Cursor or Claude create, run, and ship real workflows through MCP. The agent can discover integrations, fetch docs, write Bun or Python code, test it in a sandbox, and promote it to production.
Which AI tools does Velane connect to?
The website explicitly shows support for Cursor and Claude Code through an MCP connection. Velane is designed so your agent can work inside the chat or editor instead of switching to a separate workflow platform.
What programming runtimes does Velane support?
Velane supports Bun and Python runtimes. The site says your agent writes Bun or Python code and executes it in an isolated sandbox per invocation.
How many integrations does Velane offer?
Velane advertises 800+ integrations. The site also says the agent can access connected accounts and call APIs through Velane without writing OAuth flows or glue code.
Does Velane handle OAuth and credentials?
Yes. Velane says it avoids OAuth plumbing and credential management in code by using a proxy layer that injects auth automatically, and team plans include a shared credential store.
How does Velane move workflows into production?
The workflow lifecycle shown on the site is create and connect, run and debug, then promote. After testing in dev, the agent can publish a snippet to prod, which makes the workflow available at a stable HTTP endpoint with versioning and rollback readiness.
Is Velane suitable for teams?
Yes. Team-oriented features listed on the site include shared credentials, audit trails, invocation logs per tenant, and role-based access with invoke, manage, and admin scopes.
Can Velane be self-hosted?
Yes. Velane says it is open source under AGPL-3.0 and can be self-hosted on your own infrastructure. The self-host section also mentions OpenTofu configs for EKS and a commercial license option for proprietary products.
What is included in the free cloud plan?
The free cloud plan includes $0/month pricing, 500 invocations per month, up to 5 workflows, a shared runtime, all 800+ integrations, and community support.
What makes the Dedicated plan different?
The Dedicated plan is the top cloud tier at $100/month. It includes unlimited invocations, unlimited workflows, a dedicated cluster, priority support, an uptime SLA, custom domain support, and the full integration catalog.
