Developing with AI


Developing with AI

Turn any MCP-aware AI client into an Isabyte Power Tools application architect — it interviews you, writes a reviewable plan, then builds your app from it.

Once the Isabyte MCP Server is connected, you don't wire components by hand. You say "design my app with Isabyte" and your AI assistant runs a short, opinionated interview, then produces a complete implementation plan you can read, edit, and approve before a single file is written.

How it fits together

The Isabyte MCP Server supplies the Isabyte Power Tools knowledge — components, charts, theming, and the design wizard. For knowledge about your framework itself, pair your assistant with your framework's official documentation and tooling.

The interview: 9 questions

  1. Application type — General / Company / Landing builder / Image editor / Monitoring dashboard
  2. Software architecture — Frontend only / Same project / Library+interfaces / Web API + tests (recommended)
  3. Database — AzureSQL / Native MS SQL Server / PostgreSQL (skipped if frontend-only)
  4. Dev environment — Local / Docker all / Web local + DB Docker / Web local + centralised DB
  5. Authentication — Keycloak / Entra ID / Google Workspace / AWS Cognito / Custom / None
  6. Menu items — Customers, Users, Tickets, Orders, Invoicing, Products, Settings, Admin (multi-select)
  7. Git repository — No / GitHub / Azure DevOps
  8. Publishing — Manual / Docker / Kubernetes / AWS / Azure
  9. Network access — Manual / Traefik (auto Let's Encrypt) / Hosting-provider

Patterns & best practices baked in

  • Plan first, write second — nothing touches disk until you approve the plan.
  • Isabyte components only — every interactive element is an Isabyte component, so theming, validation, and accessibility are consistent end to end.
  • Clean project boundaries — data models live apart from the UI, and the layer that owns persistence owns its migrations.
  • Grounded answers — Isabyte specifics come from the Isabyte MCP Server's skill corpus, not the model's memory; framework specifics come from your framework's own documentation.

With the server attached, start a conversation with any of:

I want to create a new app using Isabyte Power Tools
design my app with Isabyte
use Isabyte to start a monitoring dashboard
dry-run the Isabyte design system        ← preview only, writes nothing
