MindStudio is a no-code platform for building, testing and deploying AI agents as drag-and-drop workflows built from prebuilt blocks. Agents can be published as web apps, browser-extension tools, scheduled jobs, email and webhook triggers, or serverless functions.

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Website | https://mindstudio.ai |
| Price | from $20/month billed monthly, $16/month billed annually |
| Free tier | Yes |

Free plan: one agent and 1,000 runs per month, with AI model usage billed on top at provider cost; unlimited agents and runs require the $20/month Individual plan.

## What it does

**Writes code** · Partly — It generates code only inside its own workflows: blocks execute custom JavaScript or Python, and the editor can auto-generate those snippets. It does not author code in your repository.

> Run Function Execute a custom JavaScript or Python function
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/capabilities · Workflow Logic section, Run Function capability card

**Debugs and fixes** · Partly — The vendor ships a debugger, but it inspects agent workflow runs rather than diagnosing and fixing failures in your application source code.

> Debug Agents with the MindStudio Debugger
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/pricing · Compare plans matrix, Testing & QA section row

**Writes tests** · Partly — Evaluations auto-generates and runs structured test cases against an agent workflow with literal or fuzzy expected results; these are agent evaluations, not unit tests for application source code.

> Click Generate button to automatically populate evaluation cases using default or existing input data.
> — https://university.mindstudio.ai/test-and-evaluate/evaluations · Evaluations docs, step 1 'Create Evaluation(s)', Using the Generate Button

**Ships it** · Yes — Publishing and deploying agents is unlimited on both paid tiers; deployment targets include hosted web apps, website embeds, webhooks, scheduled runs and, on Business, custom domains.

> Deploy and publish Agents Unlimited
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/pricing · Compare plans table, Building section, 'Deploy and publish Agents' row, Individual column

**Done-for-you service** · Partly — You run the software yourself; the vendor's people supply training rather than building and operating agents for you, and team training is bundled only on the Business plan.

> Team training included
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/pricing · Business plan card, Team enabled workspace bullet list

## How much it does unattended

**Runs autonomously** · Yes — Agents can be triggered on a schedule, by email or by webhook and run their whole workflow without anyone present, which is the vendor's stated automation model.

> Schedule Agents to run periodically (e.g. daily at 8 AM)
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/pricing · Compare plans matrix, Triggers section row (both plan columns ticked)

**Multi-agent** · Yes — A workflow can spawn one or more child workflows, and packaged agents can be called as blocks inside another agent, giving multi-agent orchestration inside one run.

> Run Workflow Spawn one or more child workflows (advanced)
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/capabilities · Workflow Logic section, Run Workflow capability card

**Agent permissions** · Partly — Approval is something the builder designs in with a checkpoint block rather than a platform-wide permission model, so how much an agent does unattended depends on the workflow author.

> Checkpoint Allow the user to review (and optionally revise) the state of the workflow before proceeding
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/capabilities · Workflow Logic section, Checkpoint capability card

## Which models it runs on

**Claude** · Yes — Anthropic is a first-class publisher in the model catalogue with fifteen Claude entries listed alongside their per-million-token input and output rates.

> Access advanced models like Claude 4, GPT-4o, Gemini, and more
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/pricing · Compare plans matrix, AI Models section row (Individual and Business both ticked)

**GPT** · Yes — OpenAI models are available through the vendor's own routing layer with no separate OpenAI account required, and the catalogue lists GPT models by publisher.

> No, MindStudio runs independently, leveraging multiple AI models for optimal performance across different tasks. If you have an OpenAI account, you can connect your own API keys if you prefer.
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/pricing · FAQs, "Do I need a ChatGPT/OpenAI account?"

**Open models** · Yes — Open-weight families are both hosted in the catalogue and runnable on your own hardware, and the privacy policy names offline DeepSeek instances running inside MindStudio infrastructure.

> Note that MindStudio provides access to self-hosted versions of the following models: DeepSeek V3, DeepSeek R1, DeepSeek V3.1, and DeepSeek R1 Turbo.
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/privacy · Privacy Policy, Third Party AI Providers paragraph

**Model choice** · Yes — You choose the model per block from a large multi-publisher catalogue, can compare models side by side, and can plug in your own keys or endpoints instead.

> Instantly connect to 200+ AI models via the MindStudio Service Router (no API keys required)
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/pricing · Free plan card, Platform features bullet (repeated on Individual)

## Where you use it

**In your editor** · Partly — There is no MindStudio editor extension; the builder is a browser app. The agent skills plugin instead exposes MindStudio actions to IDE-resident coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor and Windsurf.

> Tell your agent to install MindStudio. Works in Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible client.
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/product/agent-skills-plugin · How it works section, Step 01 'Paste one prompt'

**On the command line** · Yes — The npm client ships CLI commands to sync types, list agents and run a workflow from a terminal; the agent SDK additionally installs a standalone mindstudio binary that runs any action or an MCP server.

> Test a workflow from the command line:
> — https://university.mindstudio.ai/developers/npm-package · NPM Package docs, CLI Commands section, 'test' command

**In your pipeline** · Partly — The Node client is documented for CI/CD use, with an offline type-sync mode and API keys held as CI environment variables, but no pull-request, commit or repository integration is published.

> Use environment variables in CI/CD environments
> — https://university.mindstudio.ai/developers/npm-package · NPM Package docs, Best Practices, API Key Security bullet

**In a browser** · Yes — Agents are built and run in a hosted workspace and can be shared as a link or embedded into any website with no extra setup.

> Easily share your AI Agent via a link or embed it directly into any website — no setup required.
> — https://university.mindstudio.ai/deployment-of-ai-agents/ai-powered-web-apps.md · AI-Powered Web Apps page, page subtitle

## Whose machine it runs on

**Self-hosted** · Partly — Self-hosting the platform is listed only under the Business plan's flexible deployment bullets; on Free and Individual you can self-host models but not MindStudio itself.

> Self-host MindStudio
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/pricing · Business plan card, Flexible deployment bullet list

**Open source** · Partly — The hosted platform is proprietary. The Node client library is MIT licensed, and the agent SDK, CLI and MCP server source is published publicly in the vendor GitHub organisation.

> License MIT
> — https://university.mindstudio.ai/developers/npm-package · NPM Package docs, License section at the foot of the page

## What it costs to run

**How it meters** · Yes — It is a seat-style subscription with pay-per-use model spend layered on top, metered in tokens and quoted per million tokens, and the vendor states it adds no markup.

> Most AI models follow a pay-per-use model based on tokens, which are the basic units of text that models process. Pricing is typically quoted per 1 million tokens.
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/pricing · FAQs, "How is AI model usage priced?"

**Free tier** · Yes — A standing $0 plan exists with self-serve signup, capped at one agent and a thousand runs a month, with model usage billed on top.

> Free One agent $0 /month + usage
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/pricing · Plans section, Free plan card price cell

**API access** · Yes — A documented Bearer-authenticated REST endpoint runs any published agent with variables and returns structured output, and the plan matrix ticks API calls on both paid columns.

> With the MindStudio API you can enable the programmatically invocation of workflows. It allows for the integration of AI workflows as a step in larger automation processes.
> — https://university.mindstudio.ai/developers/api-reference.md · API Reference, Overview section

**MCP server** · Yes — You can register published agents on a MindStudio-hosted MCP server, so another LLM or agent client can invoke them as tools over an authenticated remote endpoint.

> An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server lets you expose one or more of your MindStudio agents as tools that external applications or LLMs can invoke.
> — https://university.mindstudio.ai/deployment-of-ai-agents/ai-agents-for-mcp.md · AI Agents for MCP, "What is an MCP Server?" section

**Bring your own key** · Yes — Own provider keys are accepted on every tier including Free, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint you host yourself can be registered and selected inside blocks.

> Bring your own API keys if you prefer
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/pricing · Free plan card, Platform features bullet list

## Buying it for a team

**A company can buy it** · Yes — A Business plan exists for teams and enterprises, bought through sales rather than checkout, adding collaborators, SSO, audit logs and self-hosting.

> Tailored for your team, big or small
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/pricing · Plans section, Business plan card subtitle above the Custom price

**Seat model** · Partly — The published $20 tier is explicitly single-user — the collaboration row reads "Just me" — and multi-seat collaboration is only sold as an unpriced Business arrangement.

> Collaborate and build together with your team Just me Custom
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/pricing · Compare plans matrix, Building section, collaboration row

**Pooled budget** · Partly — Business workspaces can set per-user budgets and limits against the shared workspace spend, but the vendor does not publish how the pooled balance itself is allocated.

> Set individual user budgets and limits
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/pricing · Compare plans matrix, Distribution & Access section row

**Admin controls** · Partly — Restricting which models and third-party services a workspace may reach, and controlling access per user, are ticked only in the Business column and crossed for Individual.

> Control which AI models and third-party services your workspace has access to
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/pricing · Compare plans matrix, Distribution & Access row (Individual crossed, Business ticked)

**Audit log** · Partly — Audit logs are named as a Business-plan security feature; the lower tiers get API logs and activity history rather than administrative audit records.

> Audit logs, budgets, usage limits, and alerts
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/pricing · Business plan card, Security and compliance bullet list

**Single sign-on** · Partly — Single sign-on appears only in the Business plan's security bullets, and the vendor does not say whether that means SAML, OIDC or both.

> Single sign-on (SSO)
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/pricing · Business plan card, Security and compliance bullet list

## What happens to your code

**Opt out of training** · Yes — No opt-out is needed: the vendor states user data is never shared with model providers for training, and the guarantee is ticked on every plan including Free.

> MindStudio user data is never shared with model providers for training purposes.
> — https://www.mindstudio.ai/privacy · Privacy Policy, Third Party AI Providers paragraph

**Data residency** · Partly — The trust centre names United States processing for its cloud and inference subprocessors, with CDN processing following the customer; no choice of region is offered.

> Amazon Web Services • Cloud infrastructure / AI inference United States
> — https://trust.mindstudio.ai/ · Trust Center, Subprocessors list

**Getting out** · Partly — The trust centre lists a control for deleting customer data on departure, but the vendor publishes nothing about exporting agents or whether prepaid usage balances expire.

> Customer data deleted upon leaving
> — https://trust.mindstudio.ai/ · Trust Center, Controls section, Data and privacy group

**Certifications** · Yes — SOC 2 Type I and Type II reports plus GDPR are published in the trust centre, and SOC 2 Type II and GDPR are ticked on both the Individual and Business columns.

> Compliance SOC 2 Type I SOC 2 Type II GDPR
> — https://trust.mindstudio.ai/ · Trust Center, Compliance section

## Correcting this record

Anything marked "Not established" is a question we have not answered — it is not a No. If you represent MindStudio, or anything here is wrong or out of date, you can supply it with a source: the operations this site accepts from an agent are listed at https://theagentsindex.com/.well-known/agents.json — that catalogue needs no key to read, and each entry states its own auth.

Supplying evidence is free. Nothing that can be bought here changes what a field says, whether a gap is closed, or how this record is scored.
