CloudBase AI Toolkit

AI writes the code. CloudBase runs the backend.

The CloudBase integration layer for AI coding tools: Plugin installs the stack, Skills steer how code is written, MCP operates databases, functions, storage, and deploys from chat.

Recent updates

v2.28.x (2026-08)

• Env: queryEnv adds metrics (DescribeCurveData) and resource-usage query
• Cloud Run: getProcessLog, traffic/deploy-record query, image-deploy next_step, initEnv VPC/tcbr fixes, and hide small-tenant create API
• Registry: @cloudbase/cloudbase-mcp published to the Official MCP Registry
• Skills / ops: ops-inspector v3 alarm playbooks; skill-inject metadata persistence and React fullstack routing

v2.27.x (2026-08)

• Tools: downloadRemoteFile removed (high error rate) — download remote assets with shell curl / Invoke-WebRequest instead (#908, #909)
• Cloud Run: manageCloudRun unifies tcbr init-check + deploy and drops legacy tcb cloudrun APIs; app deployment skips target/.next to avoid oversized zips
• Skills: mini program SEO / search-optimization guidance merged into miniprogram-development (#906)
• Gateway / hosting: route-level enable support with disabled access URL detection; hosting skips deploy notifications when accessUrl is empty
• Docs: simplified quick start with externalized images (#905), --cloudbase-api-key CLI login, and CodeBuddy plugin marketplace install guide

What it is

AI IDEs (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, CodeBuddy, and others) are strong at generating code. What usually blocks you is the backend: schemas, permissions, functions, storage, environments, and release.

CloudBase is Tencent Cloud’s AI-native all-in-one backend (database, storage, auth, cloud functions, Cloud Run, and more). This repo is the Toolkit that connects that backend to AI tools:

This repository ships the npm package @cloudbase/cloudbase-mcp, Skills, and AI plugins.

You still need your own CloudBase environment, and you should confirm sensitive actions the AI proposes. The Toolkit provides capability and path—not judgment.

Prefer Plugin for the full stack; Skills alone when you only need knowledge constraints. For marketplace IDEs use this repo—do not also run npx plugins add on the same tool.

Quick start

Fastest way to get started

Copy this AI prompt into your AI IDE. The agent reads skill.md and completes the setup:

Set up CloudBase for me:
1. Open https://docs.cloudbase.net/skill.md and complete the setup following its instructions.
2. Tell me when you're done, and suggest the most relevant next step.

npx plugins add TencentCloudBase/cloudbase-plugin

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudbase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@cloudbase/cloudbase-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

First prompts

Login to CloudBase

Use CloudBase Skills to build a todo app with login, database and permissions, then deploy

Skills shape structure and practice; MCP handles environment and resources. You should be able to verify data and APIs in your own environment—not only get local source files.

Supported AI IDEs

Full setup: IDE guides.

Capabilities

After setup, the AI can do typical backend work in your environment (confirm critical steps):

• Database: PostgreSQL and document DB, data models, CRUD, permissions and security rules
• Compute: author, deploy, invoke, and debug cloud functions / Cloud Run
• Auth & storage: login methods, object storage, permission linkage with data
• Release & ops: static hosting / Mini Program publish; inspect logs and redeploy

Fits Web, WeChat Mini Programs, and backend services. Platform overview: CloudBase docs.

Evaluation

Under controlled conditions, the same Todo application brief and frontend scaffold were used to compare two backend paths: a traditional cloud VM (self-managed runtime, process, and network exposure) and CloudBase (managed database, anonymous auth, and related backend services). An AI agent performed end-to-end development and verification. Given the model and task setup, the CloudBase path was more favorable in completion latency, token usage, and tool-call count. These outcomes are conditioned on the model, agent framework, and task definition, and should not be generalized beyond that scope.

Install & connect

Prerequisites

• Node.js v18.15.0+
• A CloudBase environment
• An AI tool that supports Plugin / Skills / MCP

Setup options

1. Plugin (when the tool supports it)
   npx plugins add TencentCloudBase/cloudbase-plugin
2. CloudBase AI CLI
   npm i -g @cloudbase/cli && tcb ai
3. Manual MCP (write the IDE config file)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudbase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@cloudbase/cloudbase-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudbase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@cloudbase/cloudbase-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Others: IDE setup guide.

MCP connection modes

Local (default): npx on your machine—full features, including local filesystem upload/templates.

Hosted: IDE connects over HTTP to Tencent Cloud MCP; no local Node. Some local-file features are unavailable.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudbase": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://tcb-api.cloud.tencent.com/mcp/v1?env_id=<env_id>",
      "headers": {
        "X-TencentCloud-SecretId": "<Tencent Cloud Secret ID>",
        "X-TencentCloud-SecretKey": "<Tencent Cloud Secret Key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Hosted URLs can use site (domestic / intl) to pick the login site (e.g. domestic-site Singapore needs site=domestic), plus enable_plugins / disable_plugins to trim tools. Canonical names live in mcp/src/server.ts.

Self-hosted Cloud Mode: set CLOUDBASE_MCP_CLOUD_MODE=true (or MCP_CLOUD_MODE=true) so local file and process tools are disabled for remote callers.

Example

Online Gomoku: describe the need; get Web + cloud database / realtime and deploy.
