Configurable delivery lifecycle
Define stages such as Intake, Triage, Planning, Building, Review, and Done, then configure rules for each stage and type of work.
Mastra Factory
Freemium
Mastra Factory is an open-source, agent-powered software delivery environment for taking software work from issue intake through planning, implementation, and pull-request review. It provides persistent coding agents, repository workspaces, and configurable lifecycle stages in a web application you can deploy on the Mastra Platform or your own infrastructure.
What is Mastra Factory?
Mastra Factory is an open-source, agent-powered software delivery environment built on Mastra. It combines persistent coding agents, repository workspaces, issue intake, planning, implementation, and pull-request review in a configurable lifecycle.
Its default process moves work through Intake, Triage, Planning, Building, Review, and Done. Agents investigate issues, gather repository context, identify missing information, implement changes, run checks, and open pull requests. Humans remain involved at defined checkpoints by answering questions, approving or editing plans, and deciding whether to merge the result.
Factory supports existing codebases and provides a shared dashboard for team work. It can be deployed through the Mastra Platform or hosted on your own infrastructure, and its open-source agents, tools, workflows, and UI can be adapted to other multi-step processes.
What can Mastra Factory do?
Persistent coding agents
Agents retain a work item’s context while investigating issues, gathering repository information, identifying gaps, and carrying work through the configured process.
Repository workspaces
Agents can inspect an existing codebase, implement planned changes, run checks, and prepare a pull request for human review.
Human approval checkpoints
Team members can answer agent questions, edit or approve plans, and choose whether to merge the final pull request.
Shared work-item sessions
Each issue has a dedicated session that keeps the product and technical conversation available to the team as work progresses.
Use Cases
“Feature development from an issue”
Start with a software request, let the agent investigate the repository and plan the change, then review the implementation as a pull request.
“Bug fixing in an existing codebase”
Provide an issue from a connected source so the agent can inspect relevant code, make a proposed fix, run checks, and submit the result for review.
“Refactoring and test work”
Use the staged workflow for changes that require repository context and a reviewable implementation, including refactors and writing tests.
“Adapted multi-step operations”
Extend the open-source agents, workflows, tools, or interface for other processes such as research, content production, or data analysis.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Mastra Factory?
Mastra Factory is an open-source environment for automating parts of the software development lifecycle with agents. Its default workflow uses explicit stages for intake, triage, planning, building, review, and completion.
Can Factory work with an existing repository?
Yes. Factory can connect to an existing GitHub repository, pick up work from GitHub or Linear issues, inspect the codebase, implement changes, run checks, and open pull requests.
Where can Mastra Factory be deployed?
The Mastra Platform automatically deploys a Factory during project setup. Factory can also be hosted on your own infrastructure; the source does not specify the full self-hosting requirements.
How are people involved in the workflow?
People answer the agent’s questions during Triage, review or edit the plan during Planning, and review and merge pull requests during Review.
Is Mastra Factory limited to software development?
Its out-of-the-box workflow is designed for software development, including features, bugs, refactoring, tests, and issue-to-pull-request work. Its open-source components can also be adapted to other multi-step processes.
