nocobase/nocobase

NocoBase is an open-source AI + no-code platform for building business systems fast. Instead of generating everything from scratch, AI works on top of production-proven infrastructure and a WYSIWYG no-code interface, so you get both speed and reliability.

01What can it help you accomplish?

  • Build business systems fast with an AI + no-code platform

    A working NocoBase app with data models, pages, workflows, and permissions — built visually (WYSIWYG) or by AI coding agents

    Teams and builders who need production business systems (CRM, internal tools) without hand-writing all the code

  • Let AI agents and people collaborate on the same system

    AI employees that execute tasks inside workflows, plus fine-grained permission / audit controls shared between AI and humans

    Organizations that want AI to run business operations under the same permissions as human users

02How to install into DeepSeek Harness

Prerequisites

  • Node.js + npm (the CLI is installed globally via npm)
  • A coding agent is optional — for AI-assisted setup you can use Claude Code / Codex / OpenCode

Installation steps

  1. 01

    Install the NocoBase CLI globally: `npm install -g @nocobase/cli`

    $ npm install -g @nocobase/cli

  2. 02

    Verify the install: `nb --version`

  3. 03

    Create an app: `nb init --ui` (optionally build together with an AI agent, e.g. `codex` / `claude` / `opencode`)

Verify the integration

  • Run `nb --version` to confirm the CLI is installed and on your PATH

03DSH integration and capability boundaries

DSH integrationCompatible

Connects to coding agents via MCP, HTTP APIs, CLI, and skills (the README lists Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, TRAE and agent platforms OpenClaw / Hermes / Dify / Coze / n8n). DeepSeek Harness (`dsh`) specifics are not described in this README.

  • AI + no-code co-building (WYSIWYG)

    data models, pages, workflows, permissionsa visual no-code app that AI agents and people edit together

  • AI employees in workflows

    business context, documents, tasksAI employees that execute tasks inside workflows (front-end Q&A / form-filling, back-end document recognition / risk monitoring / routing)

  • Open agent interfaces (MCP / HTTP / CLI / skills)

    external agents and platformssecure connections for agents to query data, trigger actions, and run business workflows

    external agents connect under the same permission boundaries as internal ones

04Who is it for? When not to use it?

Good for

  • Teams and builders who need production business systems (CRM, internal tools) without hand-writing all the code
  • Organizations that want AI to run business operations under the same permissions as human users

Not for

  • External agents connect via MCP / HTTP / CLI / skills; the README lists OpenClaw, Hermes, Dify, Coze, n8n and messengers (Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, Gmail). DeepSeek Harness (`dsh`) is not named, so a dsh-specific bridge is not documented.

05Compatibility, maintenance and safety notes

  • Your business data stays in your own database (main DB, external DBs, or third-party APIs) — there is no platform lock-in, but you must run and back up your own database.
  • Every AI action follows the same fine-grained, field-level permissions as human users and is recorded in audit logs; admins must still configure roles and review AI permissions.
  • External agents connect via MCP / HTTP / CLI / skills; the README lists OpenClaw, Hermes, Dify, Coze, n8n and messengers (Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack, Gmail). DeepSeek Harness (`dsh`) is not named, so a dsh-specific bridge is not documented.

06Frequently asked questions

How is NocoBase related to DeepSeek Harness (dsh)?

NocoBase is listed in the DSH plugin catalog as a `dsh-plugin`. It connects to coding agents via MCP, HTTP APIs, CLI, and skills, and the README lists Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, TRAE plus agent platforms OpenClaw / Hermes / Dify / Coze / n8n. DeepSeek Harness (`dsh`) is not named explicitly, so a dsh-specific bridge isn't documented — you would connect it through the standard MCP / CLI interfaces.

How do I install NocoBase?

Install the CLI with `npm install -g @nocobase/cli`, confirm with `nb --version`, then create an app with `nb init --ui`. You can build together with an AI agent (e.g. `codex`, `claude`, `opencode`).

Can AI agents build and modify the system?

Yes — coding agents get a full CLI and skills and can handle setup, development, migration, and release end to end, while people use the WYSIWYG interface. AI and people can hand work back and forth on the same data model.

How is AI behavior controlled?

Every AI action follows the same fine-grained, field-level permissions as human users, each AI employee has its own role, and audit logs make every data change and workflow trigger traceable. Admins can adjust AI permissions at any time.
