Open-source integration infrastructure for AI agents — 800+ OAuth-connected APIs, sandboxed runtimes, and dev/staging/prod promotion via MCP.

800+ OAuth Integrations: One connection lets agents call Salesforce, Stripe, Slack, HubSpot, Notion, GitHub, Linear, Zendesk and hundreds more via the Nango catalog.
MCP-Native Interface: Agents connect to mcp.velane.sh and drive discovery, code generation, execution, and deployment through a single MCP server.
Bun & Python Sandboxes: Every invocation runs in an isolated ephemeral runtime, so agent code can be tested safely without touching production state.
Dev / Staging / Prod Environments: Promote workflows through three environments with agent-issued publish_snippet calls and stable versioned HTTP endpoints.
Shared Credential Store: One OAuth connection per provider is reused across every team member's agent — no secret ever appears in code.
Invocation Logs & Audit Trail: Per-tenant execution logs let agents call get_logs to debug failures and give teams a full audit history.
Role-Based Access: Invoke, manage, and admin scopes control what each teammate's agent is allowed to do.
Self-Host or Hosted: Run Velane on your own infrastructure under AGPL-3.0 or use the managed mcp.velane.sh endpoint.

Agent-Built Stripe→HubSpot Automations: An agent in Cursor writes a Bun workflow that reads Stripe customers and pushes them into HubSpot, tests it in dev, and promotes to prod in one conversation.
Solo Developer Shipping SaaS Integrations: A single developer wires up Slack, Notion, and GitHub actions without maintaining an OAuth backend.
Multi-Tenant B2B Agent Products: A team runs Velane per tenant so each customer's agent has isolated credentials, sandboxes, and audit logs.
Safe Refactors of Live Workflows: Deploy a new version of a workflow to staging, verify with logs, then roll to prod with instant rollback.
MCP-First Prototyping: Prototype an entire integration pipeline from an IDE chat without spinning up backend infrastructure.
