Has anyone tried @nocodebackend 's native metadata MCP? I tried to connect to it in cursor but couldn't get it to work.

Low-code front-end builders = fast start, hard ceiling. I broke free with React + @nocodebackend (Xano) → doubled my projects. I built a React template that makes the jump painless and helps product owners elevate their project. Check it out here: github.com/ThinlySlicedSh…

Been helping clients migrate projects from no-code front-end builders to the React ecosystem. No more vendor lock-in and you can infinitely expand your app. If you have a project stuck in Weweb, Wized, Bubble...let's talk. #NoCode #webflow #weweb #wized

Just built a secure email inbox-to-maintenance ticket AI pipeline in @nocodebackend : Postmark → Hookdeck (Basic Auth & retries) → Xano (HMAC & whitelist) → GCS for attachments (auto-refresh tokens) → Vertex AI for parsing → Xano ticket creation.

Data Flow 1. Receives email --> Postmark --> Hookdeck --> Xano. 2. Log Hookdeck event + Email. 3. Upload Attachments to GCS. 4. Invoke Vertex AI (Gemini) to extract data from email content and attachments. --> Ticket Creation.

Just discovered that even your “client-side” components in Next.js aren’t 100% client-only—the HTML still gets pre-rendered on the server for SEO, and hydrates again with full React hooks on the client.🤯

Just built a no-code MCP server in Xano @nocodebackend that lets Claude talk to Xano's Metadata API—worked like a charm. With the right permissions, you can build AI-powered admin tools, onboarding bots, or even public query assistants. Docs here 👉 docs.xano.com/ai-tools/mcp-s…

@DanielMigizi @nocodebackend I see. Thank you! I plan to have slot-locking and real-time availability. Haven't worked with real-time in Xano but doesn't look too hard.

How many of you have worked on booking systems in Xano @nocodebackend? I'm working on a project and would love to get your insights.

@DanielMigizi @nocodebackend Or what were the pain points? Were there times when having a more solid foundation would've saved a ton of time?

@DanielMigizi @nocodebackend Hey Daniel, I'm working on a booking template I want to provide to agencies. It'll have all the core booking features, auth, notification, and payment. What were the annoying parts you wish were handled out of the box?
