Backendless Console SDK Server

NPM Version MIT licensed

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with programmatic access to Backendless administration and developer APIs.

Backendless MCP enables AI assistants to directly manage your Backendless applications through natural language:

Create a new table called "Products" with columns: name (string), price (number), and inStock (boolean)

List all users who registered in the last 7 days

Your AI assistant can now:

• 1️⃣ Manage databases, users, files, etc.
• 2️⃣ Query data and perform operations
• 3️⃣ All without leaving your development environment

🚀 What is this for?

This MCP server enables AI assistants (like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.) to interact with your Backendless applications through the Backendless Console SDK. It exposes a comprehensive set of tools for managing databases, users, API services, cloud code, and other Backendless resources directly from your AI-powered development environment.

Key benefits:

• Direct Backendless integration: Access all Backendless admin APIs through natural language
• Dynamic tool loading: Tools are automatically generated from the Backendless Console SDK
• Secure authentication: Supports OAuth2 authentication
• Flexible usage: Use hosted endpoints

✨ Features

• Comprehensive API coverage: Automatically exposes all available Backendless Console SDK methods as MCP tools
• Session management: Maintains authenticated sessions with Backendless servers
• OAuth2 authentication method:
• Multi-cluster support: Connect to US, EU, local, or Backendless PRO clusters
• Hosted: Use Backendless-provided MCP endpoints (zero setup)

📋 Prerequisites

• Backendless account with API access

📦 Installation

Note: Installation is not required if you're using the Backendless hosted MCP endpoints.

🛠️ Usage

Backendless Hosted MCP (Easiest - Recommended)

Each Backendless cluster provides a hosted MCP server endpoint. This is the easiest way to get started - no installation or server setup required!

Available endpoints:

• US Cluster: https://develop.backendless.com/mcp
• EU Cluster: https://eu-develop.backendless.com/mcp
