MDMA - GenUI for apps features

  • MDMA Parser. Converts fenced ```mdma``` blocks into a validated AST using a remark plugin.
  • Static Validator. Runs 17 lint rules with auto-fix, catching structural errors without token cost.
  • Stateful Runtime. Provides bindings, audit log, policies and PII redaction for interactive components.
  • Multi-Framework Renderers. React, Vue 3 and React Native renderers turn MDMA documents into live UI.
  • Component Library. Ten built-in interactive types (form, button, table, approval-gate, etc.) plus custom variants.
  • Prompt Pack & Fixer. Model-specific authoring prompts and an LLM fixer to repair invalid output.
  • Streaming & Agent Bridge. Supports streaming renders and AG-UI protocol for bidirectional agent interaction.
  • Token-Efficient Design. Forgiving Markdown format works reliably on small, cheap LLMs, reducing API costs.

Pipelex features

  • Declarative MTHDS language. Write typed AI methods in a Dockerfile/SQL-like syntax that defines steps, inputs, and outputs.
  • Agent plugins. Claude Code and Codex plugins let agents design, run, and save methods directly from the IDE.
  • Multi-environment execution. Run methods as a chatbot MCP, a webapp, or via API/CLI on any infrastructure.
  • Open standard runtime. Pipelex runtime executes methods locally or in Docker, handling model routing and structured output.
  • SDKs and integrations. TypeScript (@pipelex/sdk) and Python (pipelex-sdk) clients generate typed calls to the Pipelex API.
  • VS Code extension. Provides syntax highlighting, linting, and formatting for .mthds files.
