We built the interface engine we wished we had
MessageFoundry started in May 2026 to give healthcare teams an open-source alternative to costly interface engines. We wanted interfaces teams could read, test, and maintain themselves.
The project is in Early Access and developing quickly. Help test it in a sandbox and tell us what needs work.
Interfaces your team can maintain
Run the engine in your environment. Keep your interface logic in your own repository.
- Run the open-source engine without per-interface license fees.
- Use AI assistance to draft migration code, then review and test it before cutover.
- Configure interfaces with guided wizards or write them in Python.
- AI assistance is optional. The engine runs without a model.
Why the engine is open source
MessageFoundry, LLC builds MessageFoundry and releases it under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL). The source is available to read, run, and modify under its terms.
We want healthcare teams to spend less on interface licenses and keep more control over the systems they depend on.
The practical bits
Where it stands
MessageFoundry is beta-level software with no established production track record. The feature pages describe its capabilities; the status page explains its maturity and limits.

Released under the GNU AGPL-3.0-or-later, with the source available. Running a modified version as a network service triggers the AGPL's §13 source-offer obligation. A separately-licensed, low-cost commercial edition is available from MessageFoundry, LLC.
