[Langflow](https://langflow.org) is a powerful platform for building and deploying AI-powered agents and workflows. It provides developers with both a visual authoring experience and built-in API and MCP servers that turn every workflow into a tool that can be integrated into applications built on any framework or stack. Langflow comes with batteries included and supports all major LLMs, vector databases and a growing library of AI tools.

## ✨ Highlight features

- **Visual builder interface** to quickly get started and iterate.
- **Source code access** lets you customize any component using Python.
- **Interactive playground** to immediately test and refine your flows with step-by-step control.
- **Multi-agent orchestration** with conversation management and retrieval.
- **Deploy as an API** or export as JSON for Python apps.
- **Deploy as an MCP server** and turn your flows into tools for MCP clients.
- **Observability** with LangSmith, LangFuse and other integrations.
- **Enterprise-ready** security and scalability.
