Build an app feature + full backend in minutes, with Claude or Cursor.

First, before anything else, create a free AppAmbit account and add an app. Your app is where the backend lives, and it gives you the credentials you'll connect in the next step: your appkey and an MCP token.

Generate a token in your AppAmbit dashboard (Setup → MCP), then paste the snippet into your assistant's config. On Claude.ai the connector signs you in, so no token is needed.

No account yet? Create one free → Your token is waiting in the dashboard the moment you're in.

The starter app is a real, working app you build on instead of a blank page (but you can use any app you already have). Open it in Claude or Cursor and describe the feature in plain English. Here's the exact prompt we used for the Favorites demo above. Yours can be anything: a wishlist, comments, a leaderboard. Write your own.

You have the AppAmbit starter app open, with the AppAmbit MCP server connected.

Add a "Favorites" feature to the app:
• A Favorites tab in the bottom navigation, with a heart icon.
• A heart button on every movie that saves it, or removes it if it is already saved.
• A Favorites screen listing the saved movies, newest first, with a way to remove each one.

Use the AppAmbit MCP to build the backend to match:
• Create a `favorites` table with: id, user_id, title, added_at.
• Add cloud functions to save, remove, and list the current user's favorites.
• Wire the heart button and the Favorites screen to those endpoints.

Keep the app's existing look and feel. When it's done, show me the Favorites screen running on real data.

Your agent writes the app logic. AppAmbit builds the backend to match: the favorites table, the cloud functions, wired to the app, without leaving the chat. That's the running Favorites feature you saw at the top. From here, ask for the next feature or ship what you have.

See it live in your Database Studio

The starter app ships with content you can import, managed in AppAmbit's CMS, and that content drives what the app shows. Swap the movies for your own catalog, add categories, change the copy. The screens follow the content, with no code change. Import a new set and the app becomes yours.
