## In short

InsForge v2.1 ships compute services (deploy containers via Fly.io), realtime presence, third-party auth (Clerk, Auth0, BA), Stripe payments, observability UI, sub-minute schedules, and backend branching.

## What it is

InsForge is an Apache-2.0 backend platform purpose-built for AI coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor. It bundles a database, authentication, storage, serverless functions, deployment, and an AI model gateway behind one set of agent-facing primitives. v2.1, released 2026-05-06, is the project's biggest update since GA.

## How it works

Agents talk to InsForge through an MCP server or a CLI plus skills package. They retrieve backend documentation and current state, then configure resources directly: edge functions, database migrations, storage buckets, auth providers. v2.1 adds realtime presence via WebSocket, a Compute service that deploys containers to Fly.io and returns URLs, third-party auth providers (Clerk, Auth0, BA), Stripe payment integration, observability advisor UI, sub-minute schedules, and backend branching with bucket fallback for branch projects.

## Why it matters

Agentic coding has been bottlenecked on backend setup — humans still wire databases, auth, and deploy pipelines by hand. InsForge gives an agent first-class control of those pieces, so a single Claude Code or Cursor session can ship a full-stack app instead of stopping at the frontend.

## Who it's for

indie devs and small teams building with Claude Code, Cursor, or Cline who want one open backend instead of stitching Supabase + Stripe + Fly + Auth0 themselves.
