InsForge

In plain words

InsForge is a backend platform designed for AI agents to build and deploy fullstack applications. It provides databases, authentication, storage, a model gateway, and edge functions accessed through a semantic layer that agents can understand and operate. The platform offers an open source backend option or cloud deployment, allowing agents to reason about infrastructure components and ship complete applications without manual configuration.

From the sources

InsForge is the backend built for agentic development. We offer everything AI agents need to build fullstack apps that scale. Our open source backend (2.3K stars on GitHub) provides databases, auth, storage, model gateway and edge functions accessible through a semantic layer that agents can understand, reason about, and operate end to end. Say the word, and you can deploy to InsForge Cloud or your own domain.

Model gateway, compute, deployment, database, auth, and more. Every service built for AI coding agents to operate end to end through CLI and skills.

In the maker’s words, at launch

We built InsForge because we wanted to use pure prompts to build a production-grade app faster. In practice, AI isn’t reliable enough when generating code or configuring backend pieces like schema, RLS, auth, or functions. Postgres MCP and Supabase MCP are a good starting point, but they felt more like API wrappers…

  InsForge – Open-source Heroku for coding agentsMay 2026 · github.com · ▲62

  Hi HN, I'm Hang, cofounder of InsForge (YC P26). InsForge is an open-source Heroku for AI coding agents: a backend platform designed for coding agents to deploy, operate, and debug end-to-end. Open source under Apache 2.0 (https://github.com/InsForge/InsForge). Quick demo here (https://youtu.be/7Bax5qz0IfM). We started InsForge because we just wanted our Claude Code to handle all the backend / infra stuff for us, instead of us jumping between dashboards doing manual config, or copy paste logs and docs back to agents. We first tried creating a folder…

  Hi HN, I’m Samrith, creator of Hyperterse. Today I’m launching Hyperterse 2.0, a schema-first framework for building MCP servers directly on top of your existing production databases. If you're building AI agents in production, you’ve probably run into agents needing access to structured, reliable data but wiring your business logic to MCP tools is tedious. Most teams end up writing fragile glue code. Or worse, giving agents unsafe, overbroad access. There isn’t a clean, principled way to expose just the right data surface to agents. Hyperterse lets you define a schema over your data and…

  i2forge – A Platform for Verified Reasoning2023 · i2forge.com · ▲35

  Hi! We're Amisi and Claude, builders of the i2 language and the i2forge platform. i2 is an (early draft of a) language designed to make formal verification easy for mathematicians. We are launching the language as an open source project today (https://i2lang.org) together with a closed alpha for i2forge. However, we have a publicly accessible demo page which anyone can use, and we would love your feedback. Thanks.

  I built a database for AI agentsApr 2026 · github.com · ▲12

  Hey HN, I just spent the last few weeks building a database for agents. Over the last year I built PostHog AI, the company's business analyst agent, where we experimented on giving raw SQL access to PostHog databases vs. exposing tools/MCPs. Needless to say, SQL wins. I left PostHog 3 weeks ago to work on side-projects. I wanted to experiment more with SQL+agents. I built an MVP exposing business data through DuckDB + annotated schemas, and ran a benchmark with 11 LLMs (from Kimi 2.5 to Claude Opus 4.6) answering business questions with either 1) per-source MCP access (e.g. one Stripe…

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
