API service

Mastra GatewayAPI service

An OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible model gateway that routes one API key to 300+ models with provider failover, and adds observational memory that compresses each conversation into notes so agents keep context without rebuilding it.

AI agent

Mastra CodeAI agent

An open-source terminal coding agent with Build, Plan and Fast modes and explore, plan and execute subagents, whose observational memory compresses the session into notes instead of compacting it, so long sessions keep their context.

Mastra FactoryAI agent

An open-source software delivery environment where coding agents take a connected repository's issues through investigation, planning, implementation and review to a reviewed pull request, with people deciding at each step; self-hosted or deployed on Mastra's platform.

Agent platform

Mastra Agent BuilderAgent platform

A UI mounted inside a team's own Mastra server for creating and operating internal agents, with multi-tenant workflows, role-based access and channel integrations, licensed for production under Mastra's enterprise licence.

Infrastructure service

Mastra Platform ObservabilityInfrastructure service

Hosted telemetry store for Mastra agents in production: it keeps the metrics, structured logs and step-by-step traces of model calls, tool calls and workflow steps for every run, with dashboards for cost, latency and quality scores.

Mastra ServerInfrastructure service

Hosted deployment target that runs a Mastra application's agents, tools and workflows as an API server from one command, with routing and scaling handled by Mastra and billing by CPU time and data egress.
