Stirrup AI Workflows (Instant)
Stirrup is a DAG-based AI workflow engine with a visual editor: chain LLM prompts, agent tool-use nodes, and logic into workflows you design in the browser and trigger over HTTP. The instant deploy gives you the pre-built runtime on your own URL — bring an Anthropic API key, open the editor, and you're building AI automations you fully control, on infrastructure you own.
A real, working app — free, in ~30 seconds
No repo, no build step, no code. The pre-built image deploys straight to your own SSL-secured URL, and one instant app fits the free tier exactly — no credit card.
What you get
- Visual DAG editor in the browser — design workflows without writing orchestration code
- LLM prompt nodes and agent tool-use nodes powered by Anthropic models
- Trigger workflows over HTTP; inspect run history per workflow
- Also drivable from the Launchmatic CLI (`lm workflows list` / `lm workflows run`) and from MCP clients
- Self-hosted: your API key, your data, your instance
- Pre-built image — no repo, no build, ~30 seconds to a running editor
Who it's for
- →Personal AI automations you don't want running through a third-party workflow SaaS
- →Prototyping multi-step LLM pipelines before committing them to code
- →A team workflow runner where the API key and the data stay on your infrastructure
Or deploy from the CLI
npm i -g @launchmatic/cli && lm login
lm template deploy stirrup-instant -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=...ANTHROPIC_API_KEY — Required — powers the LLM and agent nodes. Get one at console.anthropic.com.
FAQ
What do I need before deploying?+
Just an Anthropic API key. You're prompted for it at deploy time (or pass it with `lm template deploy stirrup-instant -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=...`). Model usage is billed to your key, by Anthropic — Launchmatic doesn't sit in the middle.
Is this free to run?+
The hosting is — one instant app fits Launchmatic's free tier (own URL, SSL, no credit card; sleeps after 30 idle minutes and wakes on request). Your only variable cost is the Anthropic API usage your workflows generate.
Can my coding agent trigger these workflows?+
Yes — Stirrup workflows on Launchmatic are exposed through the CLI (`lm workflows run`) and to MCP clients via the run_stirrup_workflow tool, so Claude Code or any MCP-connected assistant can trigger them directly.
