Overview

Windmill turns code into operational tools: script endpoints and forms, workflows with retries or approvals, and React or Svelte apps. Scripts and MCP servers can supply agent tools, while run inputs, logs and results support diagnosis. Self-host through Docker Compose or Kubernetes; the open-source edition uses AGPLv3 and upgrades remain under your control.12

Ways to use it

Ideas based on documented features.

• Turn an internal script into a form-backed operation with review controls.1
• Diagnose a repeated automation from its saved run inputs, logs and result.1

Before you start

• The open-source edition uses AGPLv3; assess that license for the intended deployment.2
• Self-hosted upgrades are controlled by the operator rather than automatic updates.2
