New Connect Claude Code to Tadabase in one command

The code was never
the hard part.

AI can write an app in minutes. Then you still need a database, logins, permissions, workflows, emails, PDFs, hosting, backups and compliance — and someone to keep it all running. Tadabase AI is all of that, already built. Describe your app and it goes live today.

Plain English. It asks follow-up questions like a real developer.

Try an example
  • Free plan, no card
  • Unlimited app users
  • React code you own
  • Database 6 tables, 1,284 rows
  • Logins & 2FA SSO and 2FA built in
  • Row-level security Techs see their own jobs
  • Workflows New job notifies the tech
  • PDFs & email Invoice PDF when a job closes
  • Hosting & SSL Backups and uptime watched

AI made code cheap. It didn’t make apps cheap. The screens are the easy part. The hard part is everything underneath: the data, the logins, the rules about who sees what, the paperwork, the uptime — and keeping all of it working next month. That’s the part Tadabase already built.

You asked for an app. Here’s what an app actually is.

Keep scrolling to take one apartTake one apart — then see who builds each layer, and who’s stuck running it.

With Tadabase AI:

  1. Screens The part everyone demos Generated Written for you Generated — React you own
  2. Sign-in Accounts, passwords, 2FA, SSO Basic, generated per app You build and secure it Built in, with 2FA and SSO
  3. Permissions Roles and row-level security Only as safe as the AI’s rules You design and test it Enforced by the server
  4. Data Database, relationships, files Generated fresh for each app You provision and migrate it Proven database, included
  5. Automation Workflows, email, PDFs, schedules Mostly missing You code every job Visual workflows, PDFs, email
  6. Hosting Servers, domains, SSL Included You deploy and pay for it Managed, on your domain
  7. Operations Monitoring, backups, audit logs Mostly missing You set it up and watch it Monitored, backed up, logged
  8. Compliance HIPAA, SOC 2 guidelines, GDPR Rarely available Months of work HIPAA-eligible, with a BAA

Layers in a real business appLayers missing or fragileLayers you build or run yourselfLayers you build or run yourself

0 of 8

Eight layers. Every business app needs all of them — the screens are just the one you can see.A great-looking top floor, on a backend generated this morning. The layers a business depends on are thin, fragile or missing.Claude will happily write every layer. Then every layer is yours — to host, secure, patch, back up and debug at 2 a.m.Every layer is already built, proven and running. The AI only builds what’s unique to your business — and it’s live when it’s done.

Demo day is easy.
Day 2 is where apps die.

See how it’s built

Describe it. Watch it build. It’s live.

No setup, no servers, no stitching tools together. You describe the app; Tadabase AI builds it on a real backend and publishes it — in minutes.

Demo: an owner describes a work-order app for an HVAC company. Tadabase AI asks whether customers should be able to log in, then creates the tables, roles, row-level security, a PDF-invoice workflow and 14 React screens, and publishes the app to ridgeway.tada.app with SSL.

  1. 01

    Describe

    Say what your business needs in plain English. It asks the follow-up questions a good developer would.

  2. 02

    Build

    It creates the tables, roles, permissions, workflows and PDFs, then writes real React screens on top.

  3. 03

    Launch

    Publish to a tada.app address or your own domain, with SSL, monitoring and backups switched on.

Chat it. Drag it. Code it. Same app.

Vibe-coded apps are changed by prompting. Hand-coded apps are changed by developers. A Tadabase app can be changed by whoever’s closest to the problem.

Chat For anyone

Tadabase AI studio

Describe a change in plain English. The AI updates the screens and the backend together.

Drag and drop For ops and admins

No-code builder

Tables, workflows, roles and PDF templates your ops team can own — no ticket required.

Code For developers

Your editor + GitHub

Real React and Hono. Open it in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code, review changes in pull requests, or export it and run it anywhere.

One backend Same data, same sign-in, same URL.

Love Claude Code? Give it a real backend.

Tadabase AI runs on Claude too — so the difference isn’t the model. It’s what the model builds on. Connect Claude Code to Tadabase with one command and every prompt lands on production infrastructure instead of a blank repo.

Demo: one command connects Claude Code to Tadabase. Asked to add a customer portal, Claude reads the Ridgeway HVAC app’s schema, creates a Customer role, applies row-level security so customers only see their own jobs and invoices, adds a PDF receipt with an email workflow, writes the portal pages, and publishes them to ridgeway-portal.tada.app with SSL, backups and an audit log.

Connect in one command

claude mcp add --transport http tadabase https://mcp.tadabase.io/mcp

Then sign in once: run /mcp in Claude Code and approve Tadabase in your browser.

Or hand it to any AI agent

Set me up on Tadabase: https://tadabase.com/agent-ready.md

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other assistant. It reads the setup guide, connects Tadabase for you and checks that it works. You only approve the sign-in.

Once connected, Claude can

  • Read your app Tables, fields, roles, workflows and PDF templates.
  • Work with your data Query and change records, with row-level security applied.
  • Build Tables, fields, workflows, roles and pages.
  • Edit code Read and write your project’s files.
  • Ship Publish live and sync to GitHub.
  • OAuth sign-in, with no API keys in files
  • Acts as you, never more than you
  • Every call logged, and you can revoke access anytime

Works with Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and any other MCP client.

AI tool access (MCP) is included on the Business plan. Setup guide

Claude Code alone

A repo on your laptop. Now pick a database, write auth, wire email and PDFs, host it, secure it, back it up — and keep all of it patched.

  • Database
  • Logins & 2FA
  • Permissions
  • Email
  • PDFs
  • Hosting & SSL
  • Backups
  • Patching

You build it. You run it. Forever.

Claude Code + Tadabase

Tables, roles, row-level security, workflows, PDFs, hosting and backups already exist. Claude builds only what’s unique to you — and it’s live when it’s done.

  • Database
  • Logins & 2FA
  • Permissions
  • Email
  • PDFs
  • Hosting & SSL
  • Backups
  • Patching

Claude builds your part. The rest is already running.

The app you ship comes with AI built in.

Every Tadabase AI app includes Ask, Analyze and Agents for the people who use it — and they can only ever see what that person is allowed to see.

Demo: in the Ridgeway app, a user asks which invoices are overdue this month. Ask answers with a table of three invoices totalling $4,280, Analyze notes overdue is up 18% on last month, and an agent offers to send reminder emails, which a person approves before they go out; each one is logged.

  • Ask

    Plain-English questions, answered from live data as a table, chart or number.

  • Analyze

    The takeaway, written for you: trends, outliers, what changed — grounded in real records.

  • Agents

    Agents act through your workflows and pause for a person before anything high-stakes. Every action is logged.

No AI keys. No second permission system. Every question runs as the signed-in user, so row-level security applies to every answer.

Built for the audit, not just the demo.

Nothing talks to your data directly. Every screen, integration and AI feature goes through the same door — and the door checks three things, every time.

Every request — from your app’s screens, from Ask and Agents, and from Claude Code, the API or scripts — goes through one door that checks who is asking, what they may see (row-level security) and how often (rate limits) before it reaches your data. A request for a record the signed-in person isn’t allowed to see is blocked, even when it comes from the AI.

Row-level security
Rules run on the server for every screen, API call and AI answer.
Serious sign-in
2FA, passwordless links, SSO and SAML.
Audit trails
Logins, record changes, exports and workflow runs — all logged.
Encryption
In transit and at rest.
Isolation
Every app runs in its own container.
Backups & rollback
Automatic daily backups. Roll a release back in seconds.
Pre-publish security pass
Catches committed secrets and missing auth before you go live.
Compliance
HIPAA-eligible plans with a BAA, GDPR-ready, controls built to SOC 2 guidelines.
  • HIPAA-eligible
  • SOC 2 guidelines
  • GDPR-ready
  • SSO & SAML
How we secure your apps

SOC 2: controls are built to SOC 2 guidelines and have not been independently audited.

Three ways to get an app.
One way to run a business on it.

Every option can write an app. The difference is everything the app needs after that — and who has to own it.

Straight answers.

The things people ask before they switch — especially if they already build with Claude Code or a vibe-coding tool.

Read the docs
Is Tadabase AI just another vibe-coding tool?

No. Vibe-coding tools generate an app and a fresh backend for it. Tadabase AI generates the app on top of Tadabase — a no-code backend that has run real businesses for years — so the database, logins, permissions, workflows, PDFs, hosting and compliance are proven parts, not brand-new code.

I already use Claude Code. Why would I need this?

Claude Code is brilliant at writing code, but it can’t give you infrastructure. Connect it to Tadabase over MCP and it builds on real tables, roles, row-level security and workflows, then publishes to managed hosting — instead of leaving you a repo to host, secure and maintain yourself.

Do I own what gets built?

Yes. Your app is real React with a Node (Hono) server. Export it as a standard project that runs anywhere, or sync it to GitHub and keep working in your own editor.

Can people who don’t code maintain the app?

Yes. Anyone on your team can change it by chatting with the AI or in the drag-and-drop builder — fields, workflows, roles, PDF templates — without touching code. Developers can still work in the code whenever they want.

Is it secure enough for healthcare or finance?

Row-level security is enforced on the server for every screen, API call and AI answer. Add 2FA, SSO, audit trails, encryption and per-app isolation, plus HIPAA-eligible plans backed by a BAA. Controls are built to SOC 2 guidelines.

What does it cost?

There’s a free plan with no card required. Paid plans start at $25 a month, and every plan includes hosting, the backend and unlimited app users — you never pay per person who uses your app.

What if the AI can’t build something I need?

Open the no-code builder and add it — a workflow, a field, a PDF template, a webhook — or drop into the code. The AI studio, the builder and your code all share one database, one sign-in and one URL, so there’s no ceiling.

Stop building plumbing. Start running your business.

Describe the app your business needs. It’ll be live on a real backend before you’d have finished choosing a database.

Plain English. It asks follow-up questions like a real developer.
