From the README
<div align="center"> </div> ### One TypeScript capability becomes the whole agent stack. Photon is the fastest way to turn a small, verified TypeScript method into something humans can operate and agents can trust. Write the capability once; Photon derives the interfaces, contracts, and runtime behavior around it: - **MCP server** for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and agents - **Embedded app UI** for chat clients that support MCP app resources - **CLI tool** for scripts, demos, and automation - **Beam web interface** for humans - **Web routes, schedules, webhooks, retries, state, and audit history** when the capability grows into a production workflow Photon is free and open source software released under the [MIT license](./LICENSE). Full documentation lives at [photon.portel.dev](https://photon.portel.dev/). Related Portel project: [NCP](https://portel-dev.github.io/ncp/) gives agents one natural MCP interface to discover and run tools across a whole tool ecosystem.
