Backenly
Backenly is a hosted backend (Postgres, REST APIs, auth, storage, realtime and functions) that your coding agent builds over MCP, then keeps running with a monitoring loop that applies safe fixes on its own and holds risky changes for your approval.
Why it matters
For people building apps with Claude Code, Cursor or Codex who don't want to own schema design, policies and monitoring. It gives the agent a managed backend with guardrails, so destructive or auth changes can't ship without a human OK.
Highlights
- Coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor and Codex create tables, endpoints, auth and policies through Backenly's MCP server.
- A loop checks the backend every minute and fixes things like missing indexes on its own when the change is additive and snapshotted, with one-click undo.unverified
- Auth, destructive and irreversible changes always wait for your approval, in every autonomy mode, according to the site.
- Every change goes into one history, and schema restore points are kept for 7 days on Free and 30 days on Pro.
- Includes direct Postgres access and pg_dump export, so data isn't locked in.

Worth knowing: The automatic fixes run in your production backend; review the autonomy mode settings before turning on Autopilot.
