# McpBackend

> McpBackend is an MCP-first backend as a service for AI-assisted application development. Each project receives an isolated SQLite database, a generated REST API, end-user authentication, row-level security, scoped API keys, webhooks, usage limits, and an export path.

## Core capabilities

- Dedicated SQLite database per project
- Auto-generated REST CRUD API with filtering, sorting, and pagination
- Email/password end-user authentication with project-scoped JWT sessions
- Public, authenticated, or owner-only table access
- Full-access or per-table scoped API keys
- Remote MCP tools for projects, schemas, permissions, keys, webhooks, and usage
- Optional EU data residency
- Hard plan limits without overage charges
- Standard SQLite export

## MCP workflow

The remote MCP server lets compatible AI coding tools list and create projects, inspect schemas, create tables and columns, configure row-level security, enable authentication, mint scoped API keys, create webhooks, and inspect current usage. Applications use the generated REST API at runtime; MCP is the project-management interface for the coding agent.
