TencentCloudBase/CloudBase-AI-Toolkit

Backend for AI coding agents on CloudBase — database, auth, functions via Plugin, Skills & MCP.

CloudBase AI Toolkit – Quick Overview

What it is : An open‑source integration layer that lets AI‑powered coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot) talk directly to Tencent Cloud Base – a managed backend‑as‑a‑service offering databases, storage, authentication, cloud functions, and static‑site hosting. The toolkit bundles three parts:

Component	Role	How you use it
Plugin	Installs the MCP server, registers Agent Skills and hooks the IDE so the AI can call backend actions without custom wiring.	`npx plugins add TencentCloudBase/cloudbase-plugin` (or via each IDE’s marketplace).
Agent Skills	Pre‑written “skill” definitions that describe common CloudBase tasks – create a PostgreSQL table, set up auth, deploy a function, etc. – which the AI can invoke as structured tool calls.	`npx skills add TencentCloudBase/cloudbase-skills --skill <name>`
MCP (Mobile Cloud Platform) server	A thin JSON‑RPC‑style service that the AI agent talks to: login, query/change data, manage functions, read logs, trigger deployments.	Run locally with `npx @cloudbase/cloudbase-mcp@latest` or connect remotely via HTTP/OAuth.

Who it’s for

Developers who want an AI assistant to write the backend code for web apps, WeChat Mini‑Programs, or other services, while keeping the actual resources on Tencent Cloud.
Teams that already use CloudBase and want to speed up prototyping, CI/CD, or onboarding by letting the AI handle repetitive cloud‑resource tasks.

Core capabilities (exposed to the AI)

Database – create/modify PostgreSQL or document‑DB schemas, run CRUD operations, set permissions.
Compute – author, deploy, invoke, and debug Cloud Functions or Cloud Run services.
Auth & Storage – configure login methods, manage object storage buckets, link storage permissions to data rules.
Release & Ops – static‑site hosting, Mini‑Program publishing, log inspection, redeployment.

Getting started (the fastest path)

Copy the prompt below into your AI‑enabled IDE:

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.

Choose a setup method that matches your tool (Plugin, CLI, or raw MCP config). Example for a generic IDE:

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

Run a simple first prompt, e.g. Login to CloudBase or Use CloudBase Skills to build a todo app with login, database and permissions, then deploy.

Supported AI IDEs (as of Oct 2026)

The toolkit ships ready‑made connectors for dozens of AI‑coding environments – Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, CodeBuddy, WorkBuddy, Doubao, MiniMax Code, DeepSeek Harness, ZCode, Kimi, GitHub Copilot, and many more. Each IDE has a short guide linked in the README.

Installation options

Mode	When to use	Command / config
Plugin (IDE‑native)	If your IDE supports the Open Plugin Spec.	`npx plugins add TencentCloudBase/cloudbase-plugin`
CloudBase AI CLI	One CLI that works for many IDEs.	`npm i -g @cloudbase/cli && tcb ai`
MCP only	Minimal setup – just the JSON‑RPC server.	`npx @cloudbase/cloudbase-mcp@latest` (local) or remote HTTP endpoint with OAuth/static keys (see README).

Remote MCP can be accessed via:

China site: https://tcb-api.cloud.tencent.com/mcp/v1
International site: https://tcb-api.tencentcloud.com/mcp/v1

Example project

The repo showcases an online Gomoku game that uses a CloudBase realtime database and is deployed with a single AI prompt. Demo URL: https://cloud1-5g39elugeec5ba0f-1300855855.tcloudbaseapp.com/gobang/#/
