Full under the Agentic Index verification standard. AppFactor publishes public evidence of tracing, observability and audit logging into agent runs, so a team can see what an agent did and why.

Agentic platform that runs persistent agents across an enterprise application estate, interrogating running systems to discover, assess, modernize, build, deploy and maintain software continuously, with every change shipped as a pull request a human signs.

AppFactor is an agentic orchestration platform for autonomous maintenance and modernization of enterprise software. Persistent, long running agents run across an organization's entire application estate, discovering where software actually runs, fixing bugs, patching vulnerabilities, updating dependencies, refactoring, and rebuilding legacy code into cloud native, container or serverless targets, continuously rather than as a one off project. The platform interrogates running systems (not just source), mapping applications, dependencies, configuration and infrastructure into a durable context layer that every agent task draws on, and it keeps code documentation in sync on every change.

Multi agent, multi step processes run with governance and controls. Each task produces human readable success criteria, works through pull requests and existing code review, and passes approval gates before release, with auditability throughout the change pipeline. It generates tests from unit to end to end, runs system level validation, and can regenerate legacy code in Rust for memory safety and lower cost. Enterprise features include SSO and SAML, dedicated compute, and cloud agnostic deployment across AWS, Azure and GCP.

Integrations

AppFactor connects to repositories and to running environments across AWS, Azure and GCP, mapping entire application estates including dependencies, configuration and infrastructure. It handles VMware, PCF and Tanzu migration, builds secure containers and golden images, and deploys through the customer's own CI, environments and approval gates via a control plane spanning hybrid and multicloud setups with single spec definitions and zero configuration drift. MCP Bridge, a shipped standalone product at mcp-bridge.ai, turns existing systems and APIs into AI workloads across REST, GraphQL, SOAP and gRPC without conversion or rewrites, with tool curation. AppFactor is distributed through the AWS and Azure marketplaces.

In practice

Nobody on your team fully understands a legacy application anymore. AppFactor's discovery reads it as it runs, maps its services and endpoints and rebuilds the documentation, flagging the unclear parts for a person to check.

Dependency upgrades and patches pile up between quarterly pushes. Auto maintenance handles them as they appear, within limits you set, and each change arrives as a pull request your engineers review.

Your security team will not let code leave the network. AppFactor runs in your VPC, on premises or air gapped with no egress to the vendor, and its action log exports to your SIEM.

Integrations & Tool Calling	Full
MCP Bridge, AppFactor's own product, generates MCP tool definitions from the customer's REST, GraphQL, SOAP and gRPC APIs with tool curation so agents can call existing systems without rewrites, self hosted inside the customer network; changes ship as pull requests through the customer's own pipelines and the action log exports to the customer's SIEM. Sourcemcp-bridge.ai, appfactor.io and appfactor.io/enterpriseread 2026-09-29
Workflow Orchestration	Full
Work is carried by multiple agents with approval gates set per agent, per repository and per environment, and the agent that writes a change never approves it. Modernization runs through analysis, generation, testing and review phases, and capabilities run one at a time or together as a standing campaign across the estate.

Knowledge Grounding & RAG	Full
Discovery reads every application, dependency and environment as it actually runs and maps services and endpoints into the reference agents work from, and documentation is rebuilt when the system changes, with ambiguities flagged for human review. Sourceappfactor.io/discovery-and-documentationread 2026-09-29
Human Oversight & Guardrails	Full
Everything ships as a pull request reviewed by the customer's engineers, approval gates are set per agent, per repository and per environment, and an agent can never approve its own change. The customer sets what agents may do unattended, agents do not widen their own scope, and the console lists the items waiting on a person.

Triggers & Channel Coverage	Full
Auto maintenance runs as a standing policy across the estate, handling dependencies, patches and bugs as they appear instead of in a quarterly push or a one off project, within limits the customer sets for unattended work, so no one has to start each run.

APIs / SDKs / MCP Extensibility	Not documented
No API, SDK, CLI or MCP server for the AppFactor platform itself is described, and the documentation covers the scanner, orchestrator and architecture. MCP Bridge works in the other direction, letting agents call the customer's own systems. Sourcedocs.appfactor.io and mcp-bridge.airead 2026-09-29
Testing, Debugging & Optimization	Partial
Test generation pins existing behavior with generated tests before anything changes so a later rewrite can be proven, and each capability ships as a reviewed pull request.

Pricing

Contact for pricing through a demo request. No rates are published for the direct offering.

No billing unit is published for the direct offering. On AWS Marketplace, AppFactor Core contracts are priced by endpoint capacity.

Cost watchouts

The AWS Marketplace listing prices AppFactor Core by endpoint capacity, so cost in that channel scales with the estate under management.

Variable cost rationale

Endpoint capacity is the one published price metric, on AppFactor Core's AWS Marketplace listing, so cost in that channel grows with the size of the estate under management. No rate, unit or cap is published for the direct offering.
