Announcing MuleSoft Dev Agent: Vibes that Scale

Today we’re excited to introduce MuleSoft Dev Agent, a purpose-built AI agent that makes it easier than ever to build, manage, and scale Mule applications.

Whether you're a developer, admin, operations or an architect, MuleSoft Dev Agent massively increases your productivity with a single agentic experience capable of managing the end-to-end application lifecycle. From designing APIs and generating flows to managing policies and surfacing platform insights, Dev Agent transforms the way integration teams work.

When it comes to AI code generation, validity (syntactic correctness of output) and correctness (whether the output solves the prompt request) are paramount metrics for enterprise viability at scale.

MuleSoft Dev Agent leverages our AI Quality Pipeline to deliver ~90% validity and ~80% correctness, compared with only ~20% and ~16% for baseline LLM calls. This is reflected in a 30-40% overall quality uptick of the code generated by MuleSoft Dev Agent for Mule applications in comparison to off-the-shelf code generation from direct prompting of models like GPT4, GPT5, Claude Sonnet 4, etc.

This means the code generated is not only syntactically sound, but also aligned with business logic and ready for production.

MuleSoft Dev Agent is the next step in our vision for agentic integration: faster delivery, clearer insights, and elevated developer productivity through the power of AI. It will be generally available on October 3rd.

Empowering every customer to build with AI through removing barriers that have traditionally slowed adoption is a core belief we hold at Mulesoft. Which is why we will provide frictionless access to generative capabilities of Dev Agent. Teams can experiment freely, accelerate productivity at scale, and unlock new use cases without hesitation.

Through the democratization of AI, every builder can deliver faster and innovate with confidence: happy prompting!

Modern IT ecosystems are more complex than ever. Teams are juggling new tools, scaling projects rapidly, and managing sprawling codebases.

Into this landscape comes a powerful wildcard: vibe coding, an emerging term for AI-assisted development. According to Jellyfish , one of the leading platforms in Engineering Intelligence who work with Anthropic and OpenAI to measure developer adoption of AI, 90% of teams are embracing AI in their software development lifecycle. Instead of writing line by line, developers use conversational prompts to quickly generate and iterate on code. It’s a shift from traditional syntax-driven work toward agentic, natural-language development.

The upside is huge: a purported 25% increase in developer velocity and productivity . And this is just the beginning.

AI can automate repetitive, complex tasks and free developers to focus on strategic innovation. But without guardrails, it’s easy to flood your codebase with fragile output and hidden vulnerabilities, ultimately negating the purported benefits of AI by slowing delivery and creating more risk than reward.

But the genie is out of the bottle. 61% of teams have seen their budget increased as a percentage of revenue YoY, with the expectation that 25% of developer work will be handled by AI in the next 5 years. AI coding tools are here to stay. The real question is how developers can harness agentic coding responsibly—without sacrificing quality, security, or long-term maintainability.

That’s where MuleSoft comes in. As a platform for builders, MuleSoft powers business-critical apps and integrations across industries like banking, healthcare, and public sector. If Muleys are going to vibe code, they need confidence that the tools can scale securely to meet the demands of enterprise infrastructure.

The challenge becomes clear: what if vibe coding was secure, scalable, and ready for the business-critical apps that matter most?

MuleSoft Dev Agent is the answer. It's a secure, AI-powered coding tool for manaing the entire application life cycle through natural language conversations.

• Elevate productivity with a single Agentic experience for the entire application lifecycle. Build efficiently by managing your Mule apps via conversations with an agent designed for enterprise integration.
• Eliminate development guesswork with clear, contextual AI insights into your IT ecosystem. A conversational AI assistant that can surface insights into tech stack and advise you on the best approach to scaling development.
• Deliver faster with AI that generates repetitive code and simplifies complexity. Generate Mule apps in minutes with a secure AI Agent designed specifically for scaling enterprise integration.
• Innovate without limits by exploring AI freely across your workflows. With unmetered access to MuleSoft Dev Agent, every team can experiment, prototype, and scale new use cases freely.

Unlike general AI coding assistants, MuleSoft Dev Agent is tuned specifically for enterprise integration. It’s fluent in Flows, API Specs, DataWeave transformations, and Mule configurations — and it understands how they fit together in the MuleSoft ecosystem, with user defined archetypes that ensure any generations conform to your IT infrastructure. 

And because MuleSoft Dev Agent is MCP-enabled, new Mule projects aren’t just deployable, they’re instantly discoverable across your enterprise. APIs built with Dev Agent can be integrated seamlessly into other AI agents or developer tools, extending their impact far beyond a single project and contributing towards agentic transformations.

With MuleSoft Dev Agent, teams can use a single, conversational agentic experience to:

Design → Build the right architecture and ensure that all applications meet your organizations standard.

Develop → Create and modify APIs, integrations and MCP servers from natural language prompts.

Manage → Ask Dev Agent about your codebase, track performance metrics, and optimize for reuse.

Operate → Monitor system health and traffic. Troubleshoot deployment errors with actionable insights.

Kickstarting a New Project
A developer needs to stand up a new Mule app but doesn’t want to slog through setup work. With Dev Agent, they just describe the API’s purpose, data mappings, and security requirements in natural language. Dev Agent generates the specification, builds flows, applies the right configuration and policies, and deploys it — all in minutes.

Optimizing an Existing Project
Another developer wants to extend an API and understand how it’s being used. Instead of digging through dashboards, they ask Dev Agent: “Who’s using this API and how often?” In seconds, Dev Agent surfaces usage data, highlights reuse opportunities, and even recommends tweaks for performance or discoverability.

Scaling Securely
Security and governance are built into Dev Agent’s design. Teams can apply API policies, validate configurations, and enforce compliance directly through natural-language prompts, reducing risk without adding friction.

We’re only just getting started with MuleSoft Dev Agent. Look forward to:

• The ability to modify existing code and assets based on multi-turn user input.
• Perform in-depth code reviews to get a better feel for how to strategically improve your code base.
• Even more tooling from across Anypoint Platform available as conversational capabilities via MuleSoft Dev Agent.

MuleSoft Dev Agent is the best place tool for building secure, enterprise grade, business critical integrations with AI, all from a single agentic experience.
It is part of a family of complementary agents across the platform—including agentic capabilities in Anypoint Exchange for discovering and reusing assets, to perform diagnostics for faster issue resolution and that make it easy to package connectors and unlock value for your wider business. Each one is tuned for a specific need, but together they make building, managing, and scaling integrations simpler and more intelligent than ever.

We continue to support third party AI IDEs like Cursor and Windsurf, meaning MuleSoft Developers can use whatever tool best suits their needs; rest assured that you have access to the best tools for AI-driven development no matter where it’s taking place.
