Rowly documentation

The only backend where your docs are the MCP surface.

Rowly is an AI-native backend framework: define business entities as docs, and they are automatically exposed to AI agents via the Model Context Protocol. These docs cover the minimum set of concepts you need to get your first doc in front of Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any other MCP client.

Everything here is v0.1 — the shape is stable, but expect pages to grow.

Getting started

Sign up, create an app, define your first doc, and invoke it from Claude Desktop in five minutes.

API keys & auth

Bearer tokens with user- and app-scope, permission scopes, and the show-once discipline.
