Qoder Setup Guide

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

Examples:

  • "Build a WeChat Mini Program ordering system with CloudBase" — AI scaffolds pages, creates the cloud database, writes cloud functions, and guides preview
  • "Build a reservation management system that lets users place orders and admins update status" — AI models it with CloudBase PostgreSQL, configures permissions, and wires up frontend and backend
  • "Add phone-number login to a Web app" — AI enables the auth method and integrates the CloudBase SDK

No need to switch to the Cloud console — you can do everything in Qoder 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

Or add this configuration to Qoder 设置 > MCP:

Setup​

Option 1: Configure MCP manually​

  1. In Qoder IDE, click the user icon in the top-right corner, or use the shortcut (⌘ ⇧ , on macOS / Ctrl Shift , on Windows), then open Qoder Settings.
  2. In the left navigation, click MCP.
  3. In the My Servers tab, click + Add.
  4. In the JSON config, add:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudbase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@cloudbase/cloudbase-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "INTEGRATION_IDE": "Qoder"
      }
    }
  }
}
  1. Close the file and click Save when prompted.

After saving, the new server will appear in your list. A link icon indicates the connection is successful. Expand the item to view available tools.

Note: If the server fails to start due to missing dependencies, click Quick Fix. If the issue persists, install dependencies manually. See Qoder MCP troubleshooting docs.

Option 2: Install via MCP Square (optional)​

  1. In the MCP page, open the MCP Square tab.
  2. Find CloudBase MCP and click Install.
  3. Go back to My Servers to confirm and view the tool list.

A: See the FAQ.

Q: Where can I use MCP in Qoder?

A: MCP is only supported in Agent mode. Switch to Agent mode in the AI Chat panel. Up to 10 MCP servers can be used simultaneously.

Q: How do I call MCP tools?
