CodeBuddy Setup Guide

After setup, you can operate CloudBase services directly from CodeBuddy’s AI chat.

Examples:

  • "Create a users collection" - AI creates database collections automatically
  • "Deploy this function" - AI uploads and configures cloud functions
  • "Deploy the frontend to CDN" - AI uploads files and configures hosting

No need to switch to the Cloud console — you can do everything in CodeBuddy with natural language.

Prerequisites​

Before you start, make sure you have:

Node.js and a CloudBase environment ready

Node.js: Install Node.js v18.15.0 or later:

node --version

If you don’t have it installed, download it from the Node.js website.

CloudBase environment: See Create a CloudBase environment. New users can start for free.

Client

Configure your AI tool to connect with CloudBase capabilities. Supports local and hosted connection. See connection modes.

Step 1: Install / Configure CloudBase

Use project template (recommended) - Template includes MCP configuration and AI rulesView templates
Recommended: CodeBuddy IDE already includes built-in CloudBase MCP integration. Prefer the integrated setup flow first.View BaaS integration docs. If you still need manual MCP configuration, use the setup below.
