1flowbase is a self-hosted, low-code AI gateway and application runtime that enables building complete application systems, workflows, and React UIs on top of unified model access and retained conversation data. It's designed API-first, allowing agents to manage and interact with every runtime operation via an MCP gateway.

1flowbase sits in the Workflow Automation category, so it is usually better judged by workflow fit, deployment style, and team needs than by isolated features alone. Based on the available metadata, it leans most clearly toward Unified AI Gateway with Data Retention: Unifies model access and stores full AI conversations, creating reusable data assets for analysis, evaluation, and development.. A representative use case is Building AI Gateway Solutions: Deploying as a multi-model router or enterprise AI gateway to unify access and manage AI models.. The listed license is Apache-2.0. GitHub stars are currently 279. Relevant tags include AI Gateway, Low-code.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool.

Features

01Unified AI Gateway with Data Retention: Unifies model access and stores full AI conversations, creating reusable data assets for analysis, evaluation, and development.
02Composite Models & Workflow Orchestration: Enables combining high-capability models for planning/judging with low-cost models for execution, publishing them as virtual models or tools.
03Agent-Native API Design (MCP Gateway): Every runtime operation is API-based and exposed to agents via an MCP gateway, supporting progressive tool discovery.
04Low-code Efficiency with Native React Flexibility: Combines dynamic business table creation with the freedom of native React code blocks for UI development, avoiding closed drag-and-drop editors.
05Protocol Conversion: Provides conversion between major AI model protocols (Anthropic Messages, OpenAI Chat Completions, and OpenAI Responses), ensuring application layer stability regardless of provider changes.
