Serverless developer platform of composable AI primitives: pipe agents, managed RAG memory, threads, workflows and tools, with 100+ models on your own keys, an API, SDK and remote MCP server.

Langbase is a serverless developer platform for building, deploying and running AI agents from a small set of composable primitives, each exposed as an API: you write the logic and Langbase runs the infrastructure. Pipe is an agent with a versioned prompt, model, tools and optional memory, deployable as an API and forkable; Agent is a runtime agent configured per call; Memory is managed retrieval over uploaded documents, with chunking, embedding, vector storage and reranking; Threads store conversation history; Workflow sequences steps in series or in parallel with conditional paths, retries and timeouts; and Tools, Parser, Chunker and Embed handle web search and crawling, document parsing and embeddings.

Agents run on more than 100 models across providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, Mistral and xAI, chosen per pipe with the customer's own keys, and call custom tools and third-party MCP servers. Langbase Studio gives teams versioning, forking, experiments that replay recent requests against a new configuration, per-request logs of model, tokens and cost, moderation and safety prompts, and organizations for shared work. A set of ready-made pipes can be forked and run, and Command turns a prompt into a deployed agent with its own API and app. Developers work through the REST API and SDK, and a remote MCP server lets assistants work with a customer's pipes and memories.

Langbase is sold as a managed cloud. A free plan includes 500 credits, 500 runs and 5 MB of memory; Individual is $100 a month with 20,000 credits and unlimited runs; Growth is $250 a month with 75,000 credits and five organization seats; and a custom plan adds unlimited usage, high-performance RAG, evals, SAML single sign-on, RBAC and advanced rate limiting.

Integrations

A unified API reaches hundreds of LLMs across providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google with one line of code, and agents extend through search, crawl, and MCP tools plus function calling. Ships TypeScript and Python SDKs, a CLI, the AI Studio, and the open source BaseAI framework for local first development.

In practice

You want a support agent in your app without running vector databases or servers. You build a Langbase Pipe with a Memory store of your docs and deploy it as an API in minutes.

New models keep launching and you want to test them without rewriting integrations. Langbase's unified API lets you switch between hundreds of LLMs with one line, so your team can compare and swap providers freely.

Your product and engineering teams need to iterate on the same agent together. In Langbase Studio they version prompts, test RAG retrieval on real data, and watch cost and traces in one shared workspace.

Integrations & Tool Calling Full

Pipe and Agent primitives support function calling with custom tools and structured outputs, the Tools primitive adds web search and crawling, and agents connect to third-party MCP servers such as Slack or Intercom through an mcp_servers parameter, with Composio and n8n integrations documented.

Workflow Orchestration Full

The Workflow primitive runs multi-step agentic applications as defined steps, sequential or parallel, with conditional execution paths based on earlier step results, configurable retry strategies, timeouts and step-by-step logging of the execution flow. The buyer configures the branching, retries and routing across those steps.

SourceLangbase, langbase.com/docs/workflowread 2026-09-21

Knowledge Grounding & RAG Full

Memory is a managed retrieval layer: uploaded documents are queued, processed, chunked and embedded into vector storage, a Pipe retrieves query-relevant passages by similarity with reranking through a customizable RAG prompt, and documents can be replaced or re-embedded as they change. That is an index over the customer's knowledge that persists and stays queryable.

Human Oversight & Guardrails Partial

Pipes call a moderation endpoint to identify harmful content for OpenAI models, on by default, and a safety prompt defines instructions such as not answering outside the given context; these are structured guardrails. No approval step, escalation rule or pause for a person's sign-off before an agent acts is documented.

Security, Identity & Governance Partial

Access controls are published: organizations with member access and organization-level keys, keysets that scope provider keys per user, organization or pipe, and SAML single sign-on and RBAC access controls on the custom plan. The security page states SOC 2 Type II compliance with the latest audit currently under review, which names no report, auditor or date, so the compliance claim is asserted rather than attested.

Observability & Auditability Partial

Every Pipe request produces a log in the Usage tab with the pipe version, type, model, prompt and completion tokens, cost and cache status, workflows log their execution step by step, and log retention is one week on Individual and Growth and unlimited on the custom plan. The documented log fields are run metadata; no way to inspect prompts, tool calls, retrieved knowledge and outputs step by step is documented.

Memory & State Persistence Partial

Threads store conversation messages and metadata through an API that creates, appends to, lists and deletes threads, so a conversation's history and context persist across requests; Pipes can also store messages. The documentation states no lifetime for thread data and no memory scoped to a user or team beyond the thread.

SourceLangbase, langbase.com/docs threads and features/store-messagesread 2026-09-21

Deployment & Data Residency Partial

Langbase runs pipes, memory and workflows as a managed serverless cloud, and an agent built with Command can be downloaded for the customer to self-host, a one-sentence self-hosting route. No self-hosted Langbase runtime, private cloud or region selection is documented.

Prebuilt Agents, Templates & Packs Full

A customer can fork ready-made Pipe agents from Langbase into their own account and run them, among them an AI chatbot, a tech guide writer, a bug report summarizer, a software docs translator, a resume analyst and an API security consultant, and Command lets users fork other agents and make them their own. Each is a whole agent doing its own job.

Triggers & Channel Coverage Not documented

Pipes, agents and workflows run when the developer's application calls their API, and guides such as the Discord bot and email agent show the developer's own code doing the invoking; Langbase's documentation describes no schedule, webhook or event source that wakes an agent without a person or the developer's code initiating it.

SourceLangbase, langbase.com/docs (full documentation index)read 2026-09-21

Model Flexibility & Routing Full

The customer chooses the model for each Pipe or Agent from more than 100 models across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Together, Fireworks, Groq, DeepSeek, Perplexity, Mistral, Cohere, xAI, Azure OpenAI and OpenRouter, using its own provider keys through keysets set per user, organization or pipe, with model presets.

APIs, SDKs & MCP Extensibility Full

Langbase documents a REST API reference and an SDK for pipes, memory, threads, tools and workflows, authenticated with user or organization API keys, and runs a remote MCP server at mcp.langbase.com through which outside assistants work with a customer's pipes and memories.

Testing, Debugging & Optimization Partial

Experiments rerun the latest Pipe configuration against the last five generate requests and show previous and new completions side by side, so a builder can inspect how a change affects responses, and pipes are versioned; evals are listed on the custom plan without further documentation. No scored test cases, evaluation harness or quality gate returning a verdict is documented.

Browser & Computer Use Not documented

No browser, desktop or computer control is documented. The Tools primitive's crawling and search run on third-party services the customer holds its own account and key with, and a third-party browser rendering MCP server is mentioned only as an example of what can be connected.

Recent platform changes

2026-10-02·IntegrationsPartially Verified

Command Code, Langbase's coding agent, can now run inside Zed and other editors that speak the Agent Client Protocol. The editor session keeps the agent's tools, skills, permission prompts and sessions from the terminal, shows diffs before edits, and merges the editor's MCP servers with Command Code's own.

Pricing

From $100/mo · free tier (500 runs, 5MB memory)

Subscription tiers metered in Langbase credits, agent runs (each run is up to 1,000 tokens), and memory read/write units and storage

Free tier

Included quota

Free $0 (500 credits, 500 runs, 5MB memory, 2 files, 5 public pipes). Individual $100/mo (20K credits, unlimited runs, 20MB memory, 20 files, 10 private pipes, 1 week logs). Growth $250/mo (75K credits, 50MB memory, 50 files, 30 private pipes, 5 org seats at $30/seat). Enterprise custom (unlimited).

What is public

Full self serve tier pricing (Free, Individual $100, Growth $250) with credit, run, memory, and seat limits is public; Enterprise is custom.

Billing mechanics

Subscription tiers that bundle Langbase credits, agent runs, and memory storage, with per run and per storage overage available on paid plans and per seat pricing on Growth. Each run is metered at up to 1,000 tokens.

Cost watchouts

A request over 1,000 tokens counts as multiple runs; memory storage caps (5 to 50 MB) and one week log retention on non Enterprise tiers can force an upgrade as data and history grow.

Variable cost rationale

Plans bundle credits, runs, and memory, but heavy usage consumes credits and can require purchasing run and storage overage, and a single request over 1,000 tokens counts as multiple runs, so cost scales with agent traffic and data volume.

Additional watchouts

Runs are capped at 1,000 tokens each, so larger requests consume multiple runs, and memory storage and files are tightly limited on lower tiers. Logs retention is only one week below Enterprise, and compliance, SSO, and RBAC are Enterprise only.

Overage / add-ons

Paid plans include credits and memory storage; additional usage beyond plan limits can be purchased at per run and per storage overage rates. Each agent run counts up to 1,000 tokens, so a 1,500 token request counts as two runs. Extra Growth seats are $30 each.

Sales call required

No, self serve available

Free / trial

Free tier: 500 Langbase credits, 500 agent runs, 5MB memory, 2 memory files, 5 public pipes, community support.

Lowest paid plan

Individual $100/mo (20K credits, unlimited runs, 20MB memory)

Commercial notes

Self-serve, developer-led adoption with a free tier and paid plans from $100 a month, scaling to a custom plan for SAML single sign-on, RBAC, high-performance RAG, evals and dedicated engineers.

Key ambiguities

Per run and per storage overage rates above plan limits, and Enterprise pricing, are not public.

Cancellation / refund

Free, Individual, and Growth are self serve subscriptions with standard cancellation. Enterprise terms are contractual.

Support SLA / resale

Community support on Free, Individual, and Growth; dedicated forward deployed engineers and enterprise support on the Custom tier.

Missing data

Exact per run and per storage overage rates and Enterprise dollar pricing are not itemized publicly.
