One command scaffolds a typed backend, the frontend in the framework you pick, and a live workspace behind both. Tell your agent what to build, publish to a sandbox to validate, and promote when you're ready.
Two commands to get started. Declare your app logic and infrastructure in TypeScript. Everything runs in Xano.
Building the product is easy. The hard part is everything under it: database, auth, permissions, infrastructure, deploys. The same setup, every project, before you have a single user.
XanoTS handles the setup. You focus on building what you want.
Xano runs the backend for 100,000+ builders — database, APIs, auth and scheduled jobs, with no servers to manage. XanoTS is that same platform, written as TypeScript.
Your app is now a file tree: type-check it, diff it, review it, hand it to an agent.
You build in your editor. The canvas is where everyone — your reviewer, your on-call engineer, you at 2am — sees, understands, and debugs what's actually running.
The scaffold arrives complete: a typed backend under xano/, an app in the framework you asked for, and a live workspace already provisioned. There's no console step in the middle — you never leave the terminal to make the thing exist.
Which is the thing agents are actually good at. Your agent works on a file tree with types around it, and the compiler answers back before you do.
Publish to a sandbox. Your designer clicks a real URL and your PM files a real bug, and nothing about production changed while they did it.
What you promote is what you checked — the same defs, the same diff. Nothing gets rebuilt by hand on the way to production.
One more file sits alongside these: xano.lock, which records object identities.
Infrastructure and logic, declared together. Each primitive is a typed def: the object it provisions and the logic it runs, in one object.
Typed columns, indexes and seed rows, Postgres underneath.
An HTTP endpoint: verb, path params, typed input, a stack, a response.
An LLM plus the tools it may call, invoked from any stack.
Expose those same tools to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.
A cron job that runs on Xano's schedule, not on a box you keep alive.
Websocket channels with presence, replay and per-recipient rules.
Every quickstart goes from nothing to a deployed app — frontend and backend together. Endpoints are plain HTTPS and JSON, so anything that speaks HTTP works. TypeScript clients get the types inferred from the defs — nothing generated.
The frontend ships with the app — it isn't the star. The star is the backend behind it: typed, tested, and readable by everyone who has to trust it.
Running an agent locally means sitting with it. So it runs on Xano's infrastructure instead: post a task, and it builds in its own isolated sandbox while you're in a meeting or asleep. Nothing says one at a time — hand the queue three tickets, review three branches.
Post the issue to the API. GitHub Issues and Linear webhooks work as-is, and anything that can make an HTTP request works too.
Each task builds in an isolated sandbox with its own data, separate from production by construction. A task that goes wrong gets thrown away — it cannot reach production, because it was never pointed at it.
The output is a diff and a live environment to check it against — the same review you'd give a colleague.
The agent's work clears the same gates yours does — type checks, workflow tests, the release gate. Rules, not another model's opinion; the same checks, every run.
Everything you deploy lands as ordinary Xano objects, so the canvas shows the whole app: every endpoint, every workflow, every request traced to the step that ran. Your agent wrote it in the editor. Everyone reads it here.
Workflow tests run in the sandbox — your endpoints actually get hit, not mocked. Fail one, and you debug the draft with real request inputs. What ships is what you watched pass.
The fortnight of infrastructure between an idea and the first user disappears — without leaving TypeScript, giving up your repository, or maintaining a pipeline of your own.
Authored as typed files, the app inherits every practice your team already runs. Review, blame and revert work the way they already do.
--strict, --frozen-lock, validate.Each module is an npm package of typed defs — tables, endpoints, agents, MCP servers — that registers onto your workspace. Install it, deploy, and it's live with the rest of your app.

XanoTS defines an app that runs on Xano. That's the trade, stated plainly: you don't choose a deploy target, operate a runtime, or wire the pieces together — and what you build ships where Xano runs it, under the same governance, with the same 100,000+ builders' platform underneath.
