FormCMS is an open-source platform that turns natural language into full-stack apps — schemas, APIs, UI, and deployment — in minutes. Ship with Docker, build with AI agents, scale to millions of records.
|
Generate schemas, data, GraphQL queries, and full UI pages from natural language — in the browser or through AI agents. |
AI agents (Antigravity, Cursor, Codex) connect directly via MCP to design schemas, seed data, and deploy apps — all from the chat window. |
P95 latency under 200ms, 2,400+ QPS throughput. SQLite, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and MySQL supported. |
Watch FormCMS build a complete Library system (Entities, Data, Queries, and UI) from scratch in under 60 seconds (sped up 10x).

|
No IDE needed. Open FormMate in your browser, describe what you want in plain English — AI generates your schemas, sample data, queries, and pages. |
Build with AI agents. Connect Antigravity, Cursor, or Codex to the built-in MCP server — the agent designs your schema, writes your React app, and deploys it. |
Extend the platform. FormMate is Node.js (Fastify), FormCMS is .NET — fork the repo, add custom endpoints, write plugins, or integrate external services. |
| App | Description |
|---|---|
| Zen Health Tracker | A full health tracking app built in hours using FormCMS + AI agent — zero manual coding. |
| Stash PWA | A PWA companion app — bookmark, listen (TTS), and cache FormCMS content offline. |
