Show HN: InsForge – Open-source agent-native alternative to Supabase

https://github.com/InsForge/InsForge
6•honoyomu•3h ago
Hi HN, we just released InsForge: an open-source, agent-native alternative to Supabase/Firebase designed from the ground up for AI coding agents like Cline, Cursor, and Claude Code. We're building Supabase's features in an AI-native way, enabling agents to build and manage full-stack applications autonomously. (GitHub: https://github.com/InsForge/InsForge)

With coding agents, coding is actually the easy part now. You can build a working prototype for your idea in a few hours and run it locally. But to make it production-ready, you still have a long list of things to do manually, which might take a week or so: 1. Get API keys for external services 2. Set up authentication 3. Configure a database and storage 4. Add payments 5. Set up a custom domain 6. Deploy on Vercel

And none of these is really "coding." It's just you switching tabs, opening dashboards, copying tokens, pasting configs. The interesting part is your agents know exactly what to do. They can walk you through every step - "go to this URL, click that button, paste this key" - but they can't actually do it themselves. Why can't you just do it for me? Because all of these backend/devops platforms and services were built for humans, not for agents.

So we built InsForge. We built an MCP Server as middleware and redesigned the backend API to give agents persistent context, so they can: 1. Learn how to use InsForge during the session (re-check documentation if needed) 2. Understand the current backend structure before making changes, so configurations are more accurate 3. Make changes, debug, check logs, and update settings on their own

Example: you type "help me build an Instagram clone social media app" in your Cursor/Claude Code, then it will communicate and configure the entire backend on InsForge: - Auth: Google + email/password login - Database Tables: users, posts, comments, likes, profiles - File Storage Buckets: avatars, post-images

And then it will write the fullstack application without you doing anything. You stay in your IDE or agent interface, focus on writing prompts and QA-ing the result, and let your agent handle the rest.

This is an early release, and we'd appreciate feedback from the community. Try it out and let us know what breaks or what features you'd want to see. We're trying to make prompt-to-production a reality!

P.S: In the coming weeks (by the end of August), we'll be launching a few new features: - Cloud Hosting Platform - Serverless Functions - Site Deploy

We'll be around in the comments!
