Archal — Stateful simulated environments
Spin up environments for GitHub, Slack, Stripe, Linear, Supabase, Datadog, HubSpot, Jira and more that persist mutations during a run and reset to a declared baseline on demand.
Call environments through familiar REST paths and payloads or through MCP tools, so existing agent code and tool definitions work with minimal changes.
A single API key creates and manages every sandbox and environment, with shared gateway routing while each environment keeps its own endpoint and readiness state.
Combine every environment a workflow needs into one sandbox, giving each its own readiness state and endpoint so end-to-end agent flows can be tested together.
Open-source workflow automation built for AI agents and technical teams
Build automations with a visual node editor, then insert JavaScript or Python code nodes when you need custom logic.
Connect to 500+ native services, any REST API via HTTP nodes, and any agent or coding assistant through MCP.
Run agents alongside regular steps, inspect every decision, and add structured inputs, guardrails and human approval steps.
Watch workflows execute live, open past runs, replay a run with mocked data and re-run just the step that failed.
