Mastra
Added
Our verdict
The natural choice if your stack is TypeScript and you'd rather not drop into Python for LangGraph or CrewAI. Agents, workflows, memory and tools live in one framework that fits next to a Next.js app. Start with a single agent and add workflows only when steps need to be deterministic.
- Who it's for
- TypeScript and Next.js builders adding agents to a product
- Leverage
- Agents and workflows in the same language as your app

What it does
Mastra is a TypeScript framework for AI-powered applications and agents, covering agents with typed tools, workflows and memory. It integrates with Next.js, React + Vite, Astro, Express, SvelteKit and Hono, and includes Studio, a local UI for testing your agents.
How builders use it
- Define one agent with a few typed tools and call it from an API route.
- Turn a fragile multi-prompt chain into an explicit workflow.
- Scaffold with npm create mastra@latest and try agents in Studio before wiring them into your UI.
What to expect
Agent features shipped inside your existing TypeScript codebase.
