Where Morph Apply Fits

App builders need predictable merges, not flaky patching. Morph Apply keeps the codebase coherent while the agent iterates.

Multi‑File Reliability

Apply changes across UI, API, and data layers in one pass without breaking imports or types.

Sandbox‑First Flow

Run changes in E2B, Fly.io machines, or containers before they touch production.

Reviewable Output

Return merged files and show diffs in your UI before applying.

Minimal Apply Payload

Keep the apply step explicit. The LLM generates the update snippet, Morph Apply merges it into your actual code.

Instruction + Code + Update

<instruction>Add pagination to the users list</instruction>
export async function getUsers() {
  return db.user.findMany();
}

Guardrails That Keep Builders Stable

Don’t let edits write straight to prod. Keep the loop tight and safe.

Recommended Safety Loop

  • Run Morph Apply inside a sandboxed workspace.
  • Show a preview diff before writing files.
  • Execute tests or typechecks automatically.
  • Only publish the final merged output.
