InventDB
Four steps · one afternoon

From prompt to a
running business.

Your AI builder writes the app. These four steps put the InventDB engine underneath it, so sign-in, permissions, workflows, reports and compliance are running before the first screen exists.

The free tier needs no card; we review each request and confirm by email. Works with Claude Code, Lovable, Emergent, Replit, Bolt, Cursor, and plain code.

Create your InventDB instance

Request the free tier, with no card needed. We review each request and confirm by email, which is how we control demand and keep free instances fast. Once approved, you get a private InventDB instance at your own address. It is a real database with sign-in, roles, workflows, reports and compliance already inside instead of an empty schema.

Your engine documents itself. It serves live, always-current API docs at /api/docs and the raw spec at /api/openapi.json before you have written a single line.

Hand your builder the spec

Instead of describing a backend for the AI to invent, you point it at one that already exists. Whether it is Claude Code or a no-code builder, one instruction makes the generated app call the engine for everything that matters.

Because the app is generated against the engine's own spec, you can regenerate it as often as you like. The business underneath never resets.

add to your build prompt
Backend: my InventDB engine.
Read https://acme.inventdb.cloud/api/openapi.json
and build the app against those endpoints.
All data, search, files, workflows and reports
come from the engine. Do not re-implement them.

Let sign-in come from the engine

Users sign in through the engine's own login, and the app relays each user's token on every call. The app keeps no passwords, no user table and no privileged key, so even a compromised app exposes no credentials.

Roles and row-level rules bind to the real signed-in user in the app, in SQL and for every agent alike, and the audit trail records who did what and when.

add to your build prompt
Sign-in: use the engine's own
POST /api/auth/login and send the user's
token as Authorization: Bearer on every call.
Do not create a user table.
Do not store passwords or any server key.

Connect your agents

Add one entry to a config file and Claude Desktop, or any MCP agent, works the same records as the app: asking, filing and updating, bounded by what the signed-in user may see, with every call logged.

The app, SQL and agents are three ways into the same engine, with the same data, the same permissions and the same audit trail.

  "mcpServers": {
    "my-business": {
      "url": "https://acme.inventdb.cloud/mcp"

What the engine covers

What the engine already provides.

Every one of these is a running service in the engine, included in the free tier as well. None of them are libraries your builder has to get right.

  • Sign-in & roles: login, tokens, per-role access and row-level rules, with no passwords in your app
  • Workflows: watched rules that draft the routine work and wait for a person's approval on anything sensitive
  • Scheduled reports: designed once and delivered on schedule with fresh numbers
  • AI analysis: plain-English questions over live data, with the SQL shown so answers can be checked (InventDB SOAR)
  • Search: full-text and semantic, across records and inside uploaded files
  • Files: attachments on any record, with their text extracted and searchable
  • Compliance: encryption, region-pinned storage and a complete audit trail, running from day one
  • Webhooks & change feed: your other systems hear about changes as they happen

Create a free InventDB instance and hand it to your builder.

Request the free tier, paste two lines into your next build prompt, and ship an app with a business underneath it.
