rationalbloks-mcp 0.3.3

Unified MCP Server for RationalBloks - Backend API + Frontend Generation for AI agents

RationalBloks MCP Server

Unified MCP Server for RationalBloks - Build fullstack applications with AI agents. Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, or any MCP-compatible client to create complete backends AND generate frontends.

🚀 What's New in v0.3.3

SSL Fix - Added certifi for proper SSL certificate resolution in isolated environments (uvx).

Complete App Generation - The create_app tool transforms a template into a fully working application in one step:

• Full Mode: All 24 tools (18 backend + 6 frontend) - DEFAULT
• Backend Mode: 18 API/database tools
• Frontend Mode: 6 frontend generation tools

Key Feature: create_app performs 13 automated steps including backend creation, TypeScript generation, API services, views, forms, dashboard, routing, and npm install - no manual steps required!

Installation

# Using uv (recommended)
uv pip install rationalbloks-mcp

# Using pip
pip install rationalbloks-mcp

# Using pipx (isolated environment)
pipx install rationalbloks-mcp

The create_app Tool

This is the primary tool that transforms a JSON schema into a complete working application:

What It Does (13 Automated Steps)

1. Clone Template - Clone rationalbloksfront from GitHub
2. Create Backend - Create project via Backend MCP API
3. Wait for Deployment - Poll until staging is ready
4. Generate Types - Create TypeScript interfaces from schema
5. Generate API Service - Create typed HTTP client
6. Generate Entity Views - Create list/detail views for each entity
7. Generate Forms - Create add/edit forms with validation
8. Generate Dashboard - Create dashboard with entity cards
9. Update Routes - Configure React Router
10. Update Navbar - Add navigation links
11. Cleanup - Remove placeholder files
12. Update package.json - Set project name and description
13. Install Dependencies - Run npm install

Usage

"Create a task manager app with projects and tasks in ~/projects"

The AI will:

1. Infer the schema (projects, tasks tables)
2. Call create_app with the schema
3. Return a complete working React app connected to a live REST API

Input Schema

{
  "name": "TaskManager",
  "description": "A task management application",
  "destination": "~/projects",
  "schema": {
    "projects": {
      "name": {"type": "string", "required": true},
      "description": {"type": "text"}
    },
    "tasks": {
      "title": {"type": "string", "required": true},
      "status": {"type": "string", "enum": ["todo", "in_progress", "done"]},
      "project_id": {"type": "uuid", "foreign_key": "projects.id"}
    }
  }
}

Schema Format

⚠️ CRITICAL: Use FLAT format (no 'fields' nesting)

✅ Correct:

{
  "users": {
    "email": {"type": "string", "required": true, "unique": true},
    "name": {"type": "string", "required": true}
  },
  "posts": {
    "title": {"type": "string", "required": true},
    "user_id": {"type": "uuid", "foreign_key": "users.id"}
  }
}

❌ Wrong (will fail):

{
  "users": {
    "fields": {
      "email": {"type": "string"}
    }
  }
}

Field Types

Type	Description
string	Text (varchar)
text	Long text
integer	Whole numbers
decimal	Decimal numbers
boolean	True/false
uuid	Primary/foreign keys
date	Date only
timestamp	Date and time
json	JSON data

Field Properties

Property	Type	Description
type	string	REQUIRED - Field type
required	boolean	Field is required
unique	boolean	Unique constraint
default	any	Default value
foreign_key	string	Reference (format: table.id)
enum	array	Allowed values

Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Default
RATIONALBLOKS_API_KEY	Your API key	Required for STDIO
RATIONALBLOKS_MODE	Mode: full, backend, frontend	full
RATIONALBLOKS_BASE_URL	API Gateway URL	https://businessblok.rationalbloks.com
RATIONALBLOKS_TIMEOUT	Request timeout (seconds)	30
RATIONALBLOKS_LOG_LEVEL	Logging level	INFO
TRANSPORT	Transport: stdio, http	stdio

Entry Points

Three entry points for different use cases:

# Full mode (all 24 tools)
rationalbloks-mcp

# Backend only (18 tools)
rationalbloks-mcp-backend

# Frontend only (6 tools)
rationalbloks-mcp-frontend

Example Prompts

Quick Start (Recommended)

"Create a todo app with projects and tasks in ~/projects"

This single prompt will create a complete working application!

Backend Operations

"List all my RationalBloks projects"

"Create a project called 'e-commerce' with products, orders, and customers"

"Deploy my project to staging"

"Show me the deployment history"

"Get me some template schemas to start with"

Frontend Operations

"Clone the frontend template to ~/projects/my-store"

"What files are in the template?"

"Connect my-store to the e-commerce backend"

Fullstack (Full Mode)

"Create a complete inventory management system with products, categories, and suppliers"

"Build me an e-commerce store with product catalog and shopping cart"

"Create a CRM with customers, contacts, and deals"

Troubleshooting

"Command not found"

pip show rationalbloks-mcp
which rationalbloks-mcp  # Unix
where rationalbloks-mcp  # Windows

"API key required"

Ensure your key starts with rb_sk_

Tools not loading

1. Check IDE Output panel for errors
2. Reload window (Ctrl+Shift+P → "Developer: Reload Window")
3. Verify settings.json syntax

Schema errors

1. Use get_template_schemas to see correct format
2. Ensure FLAT format (no 'fields' nesting)
3. Every field needs a 'type' property

Deployment stuck

1. Use get_job_status to check deployment status
2. Use get_project_info for detailed pod status
3. Common cause: schema format error (nested 'fields' key)
