Backenly
Autonomous backend your coding agent builds over MCP and keeps running
Visit website →About
Backenly is an open-source backend platform built for the age of coding agents. Instead of handing you primitives and leaving you to assemble them, your coding agent builds tables, APIs, auth, storage, realtime and functions through an MCP server.
The core differentiator is the self-healing autonomy loop: Backenly checks your backend every minute, detects slow queries and adds missing indexes on its own, fixes reversible issues automatically, and always holds destructive or auth-related changes for your approval.
Each project runs in its own PostgreSQL schema with real isolation via database grants. Auth supports passwords, magic links and OAuth. REST APIs are served through PostgREST, and realtime streams arrive over SSE with no socket server to manage.
Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, GitHub Copilot and Zed. A genuinely free plan with no credit card required, and a Pro tier at $25/month.

Why we picked it
It takes 'backend as a service' a step further: your agent builds, and Backenly maintains, heals and guards. The per-minute self-healing loop is what genuinely sets it apart from Supabase and Firebase.
