💡 Important note: The CodeBuddy standalone IDE comes with built-in CloudBase AI Toolkit integration, eliminating the need for manual MCP configuration. Simply click the "Configure Integration" button in the CodeBuddy dialog box, select Tencent CloudBase and authorize to enable all Cloud Development capabilities with one click.

The following MCP configurations and plugin instructions only apply to non-standalone IDE scenarios such as VSCode/JetBrains/WeChat Developer Tools.

💡 Why choose CodeBuddy + CloudBase AI Toolkit? CodeBuddy is an AI programming assistant launched by Tencent, featuring powerful Craft agent capabilities with deep integration for WeChat Developer Tools. Combined with CloudBase AI Toolkit, it enables you to describe requirements in natural language, with AI automatically generating and deploying full-stack applications to the Tencent Cloud development platform. It is particularly suitable for full-stack development within the Tencent ecosystem, including Mini Programs, Web applications, and enterprise-level projects.

Troubleshooting: If the number of tools displays as 0 after installation, please refer to the FAQ

2. Project Initialization​

Select pre-configured project templates, ready to use out-of-the-box:

The template project already includes the .rules/ directory, eliminating the need for manual AI rule configuration, allowing you to start development directly.

Method 2: Integrate with existing projects​

If you already have a project, tell CodeBuddy in Craft mode:

Download CloudBase AI rules in the current project

If you only want to download configuration files related to CodeBuddy to avoid cluttering your project files, you can specify:

Download CloudBase AI rules in the current project, containing only the CodeBuddy configuration

Practical Case: Online Voting System​

1. Requirements Description​

In Craft mode, select Plan Mode and tell CodeBuddy:

Create an online voting system that supports creating polls, participating in voting, and result statistics, using cloud database for storage, and finally deploy it.

2. Requirements Analysis​

CodeBuddy will automatically analyze the requirements and generate a standardized requirements document:

Requirements Analysis Process

Requirements Document Generation

3. Confirm Requirements​

After the requirements discussion, CodeBuddy will summarize and confirm the requirements document. Once confirmed, click Continue to start generating code:

Requirements Confirmation

4. Automated Development​

During the code writing process, CodeBuddy will automatically invoke CloudBase ToolKit to create databases:

Database Creation

5. One-Click Deployment​

After development is completed, CodeBuddy will invoke CloudBase ToolKit to directly deploy frontend resources to CloudBase:

Resource Deployment

Thus far, with a simple requirement description, we have completed a series of tasks including requirement analysis, code generation, database creation, and frontend/backend deployment using CodeBuddy and CloudBase AI Toolkit.
