The official Agent Skill for building and managing application backends with McpBackend. It teaches compatible coding agents how to inspect projects, design schemas and indexes, configure authentication and row-level security, create scoped API keys and webhooks, manage team access, and verify changes through the hosted MCP server.
Install the mcpbackend skill with the open Skills CLI:
npx skills add https://github.com/mcpbackend/skills --skill mcpbackendThe CLI detects compatible agents installed on your machine and lets you choose where to install the skill.
To install it for every detected agent without prompts:
npx skills add https://github.com/mcpbackend/skills --skill mcpbackend --agent '*' --yesAdd --global to make the skill available across all of your projects:
npx skills add https://github.com/mcpbackend/skills --skill mcpbackend --agent '*' --global --yesThe standard skill files live in mcpbackend/. You can review SKILL.md and the tool reference before installing.
The skill provides the workflow; the MCP server provides the live tools. Connect your agent to:
https://mcp.mcpbackend.com/mcp
For Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http mcpbackend https://mcp.mcpbackend.com/mcpFor Cursor and other clients that accept mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcpbackend": {
"url": "https://mcp.mcpbackend.com/mcp"
}
}
}Your client opens McpBackend sign-in and consent in the browser using OAuth 2.1. Do not paste dashboard sessions, email sign-in codes, or access tokens into configuration files.
Invoke the skill directly:
Use $mcpbackend to create a secure backend for my client portal.
Compatible agents can also activate it automatically for McpBackend tasks. The skill guides the agent to inspect live state first, make minimal schema changes, set access rules explicitly, use least-privilege credentials, and verify the final backend without exposing secrets.
