Langflow 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.

What is this?Langflow is a platform for building and deploying AI-powered agents and workflows with a visual, drag-and-drop interface.
Is it a visual builder or do I have to write code?It's primarily a visual builder (built on React Flow) where you connect components into a flow, but each component's source code is accessible and customizable in Python.
How do I get it running?Install locally with uv (requires Python 3.10-3.14), run the Langflow package, or use the Langflow Desktop app for Windows/macOS which bundles all dependencies.
Do I need Python set up myself, or does Desktop handle that?For the local/source install you need Python 3.10-3.14 and the uv package manager; the Desktop app bundles everything so you don't manage Python environments yourself.
Is there a Docker option if I don't want to install Python?Yes, Langflow can run as a Docker container with default settings, which is documented in a separate deployment guide.
Can I deploy this on my own cloud, or only locally?Both: it runs locally (pip/uv, Docker, Desktop app) and is fully open source so it can also be deployed on all major cloud providers.
Can I turn my flow into an API or tool for other apps?Yes, flows can be deployed as an API, exported as JSON for Python apps, or deployed as an MCP server so they become tools usable by MCP clients.
Does it support multiple AI agents working together?Yes, Langflow supports multi-agent orchestration with conversation management and retrieval.
Which LLMs and vector databases does it support?It comes with batteries included, supporting all major LLMs, vector databases, and a growing library of AI tools out of the box.
Can I monitor what my flows are doing?Yes, Langflow integrates with observability tools like LangSmith and LangFuse.
What are similar projects?Flowise, evenfire, langchain, dify, ruflo, n8n, airbyte, langgraph
