PRACTICAL FIELD GUIDE

Use get_project_api instead of guessing REST routes

The generated project contract is the source for the routes and schema an agent should use. A plausible-looking URL assembled from memory can target the wrong host or unsupported operation.

Put it into practice

  1. Retrieve get_project_api for the selected project.
  2. Use its data-plane base URL and supported CRUD shapes in the application integration.
  3. Run a harmless read and validate the response shape before adding mutations.

What this looks like

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

An agent invents /api/tasks because another framework used that route. MCPBackend's generated table endpoint follows its own project-specific contract.

A boundary to keep clear

Do not interpret a marketing example as a real project ID. Examples illustrate structure; the contract supplies your actual values.

MCPBackend context

MCPBackend's remote MCP server manages supported project configuration through your authorized account. Your running app uses the separate data API. A successful connection does not prove every tool call succeeded: inspect tool results, verify the project identity and read the current schema before a change.

Take the next step

Inspect the current project contract, try the change with disposable data, and verify the result through the same credentials your app will use. Record the expected response and one denied-access case before release.
