Build your backend and interface just by asking.

Connect Orchard to Cursor, Claude, Codex, or Antigravity once.

Describe the app or interface you want, like "Build me a photo sharing app," "Build a store that saves each customer's order history," or "Add Orchard Spotlight Carousel to this featured hero." Orchard connects the backend services your app needs and applies available Orchard designs to the interface.

Backend usage, status, and billing show up in your dashboard. Orchard Design is free on every plan. No cloud accounts, API keys, env vars, or manual backend setup.

For the MCP endpoint, supported tools, connection configuration, and OAuth permission details, see the Orchard MCP page.

How it works

  1. Orchard runs through MCP in your editor.

    Your coding agent automatically calls Orchard through MCP, understands what your app or interface needs, connects the right backend services, and applies available Orchard designs.

    Why MCP?

    MCP keeps Orchard inside your editor with full project context. Unlike an SDK or CLI, you get:

    • No packages for you to install by hand or API docs to wire up
    • No terminal commands to run or remember
    • Your agent uses your project's exact context to set up the Orchard backend and apply available Orchard designs for you
  2. Connect Orchard once.

    Connect Orchard to Cursor, Claude, Codex, or Antigravity. Copy the MCP config from the Connect tab, paste it into your editor, and sign in with Google.

    Connect Orchard

  3. Build the app you want.

    Don't worry about the backend. Describe the app you want, and Orchard automatically connects the backend services or interface designs your project needs.
