Forge — Agent Infrastructure as Code

Define, deploy, and manage AI agents as versioned code. The Terraform for AI agents.

The Problem

AI agents today are configured through UIs, scattered scripts, and undocumented tribal knowledge. When something breaks at 2am, nobody knows what changed. Forge fixes this by treating agent configuration as infrastructure: declared in code, validated before deploy, diffed against live state, and rolled back when needed.

Install

npm (requires Node.js 20+):

npm install -g @openforge-ai/cli

npx (no install, one-off execution):

npx @openforge-ai/cli validate -c forge.yaml

Homebrew (macOS/Linux):

brew tap seanfraserio/tap
brew install forgeai

Quickstart

# forge.yaml
version: "1"

agent:
  name: support-triage
  description: "Routes support tickets"

model:
  provider: anthropic
  name: claude-sonnet-4-5-20251001
  temperature: 0.3
  max_tokens: 2048

system_prompt:
  inline: "You classify support tickets by urgency and route them."

memory:
  type: none

forgeai validate          # Check config syntax
forgeai diff              # Preview changes
forgeai deploy --env dev  # Deploy the agent

Core Concepts

• Agent as Code — Every agent property lives in a forge.yaml file under version control.
• Idempotent deploys — Running forgeai deploy twice with the same config is a no-op.
• Plan/Apply cycle — Preview changes with forgeai diff, then apply with forgeai deploy.
• Environment overrides — Define dev, staging, and production variants in one file.
• MCP server management — Declare MCP tool servers alongside your agent config.
