What Val Town is

Val Town is a web and API platform for developers who want to write, run, host, and share code for automations and internal tools. Its programs, called Vals, can create APIs and websites, run scheduled cron jobs, send and receive email, and persist data in built-in SQLite or blob storage. Val Town can deploy code to the web without configuration and provide live URLs for apps. It runs JavaScript, TypeScript, and TSX on Deno, and supports imports from npm, JSR, esm.sh, deno.land, other Vals, and arbitrary URLs when the required content type is provided.

Vals run in a sandbox with limited permissions, including network access and environment access limited to secrets. Developers can connect services through webhooks and APIs; documented examples include GitHub, Supabase, Stripe, Slack, Discord, Airtable, and Google Sheets. AI-related tools include Townie, an agent plugin, an MCP server, and a CLI, with integrations listed for Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, and Cursor. The Free plan includes 100,000 runs per day. Pro is $21 a month billed annually, and Business is $167 a month billed annually.
