CodeNOW is a Prague-based governance and execution platform for AI-scale software delivery — a control plane that determines how software moves through the SDLC regardless of whether a human or an AI agent wrote it. Founded by an ex-IBM team, CodeNOW provides a governed execution layer that enforces organizational policies and standards across human and non-human actors, making every action auditable, stoppable, and structurally controlled. The platform manages applications, components, containers, libraries, builds, releases, deployments, environments and Kubernetes clusters, and is available in cloud, on-premises, and air-gapped deployments. It exposes a versioned REST API (media-type versioning) authenticated with an API key, plus an official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that wraps the API so AI assistants and agents can operate the platform directly.
