Supported Tools

list_files

List Files

Lists files and directories in Backendless file storage. Supports filtering by file name pattern, recursive listing, and pagination.

delete_object

Delete Object

Deletes one or more objects from a Backendless database table. Supports deleting a single object by ID or bulk-deleting all objects matching a where clause.

send_email

Send Email

Sends an email using a pre-defined Backendless email template. Templates must be created in Backendless Console first. Supports dynamic placeholder values, recipient specification by address or SQL query against the Users table, CC/BCC, and file attachments from Backendless file storage.

update_object

Update Object

Updates one or more existing objects in a Backendless database table. Supports updating a single object by ID or bulk-updating all objects matching a where clause.

query_objects

Query Objects

Retrieves objects from a Backendless database table with powerful SQL-like filtering, sorting, pagination, and relation loading. Can also fetch a single object by its ID or return the count of matching objects.

delete_file

Delete File

Deletes a file or directory from Backendless file storage. Provide the full path including the file name.

publish_message

Publish Message

Publishes a message to a Backendless messaging channel for pub/sub delivery. Supports immediate delivery, scheduled delivery, and recurring messages. Subscribers to the channel will receive the message across platforms.

find_users

Find Users

Searches for users in the Backendless Users table. Supports filtering by SQL where clause, sorting, pagination, and fetching a single user by ID. Can also return just the user count.

manage_cache

Manage Cache

Manages the Backendless server-side cache. Supports storing, retrieving, checking existence, and deleting cached data by key. Cached values expire after a configurable time-to-live (max 2 hours / 7200 seconds).

create_object

Create Object

Creates one or more new objects in a Backendless database table. Supports single object creation and bulk creation of up to 100 objects at once. New tables and columns are created dynamically if they don't already exist.

manage_counter

Manage Counter

Manages atomic counters in Backendless. Supports getting the current value, incrementing, decrementing, incrementing by a custom amount, and resetting a counter. Counters are thread-safe and ideal for generating sequential values or tracking counts.

register_user

Register User

Registers a new user in the Backendless Users table. Requires at minimum the identity property (typically email) and a password. Additional custom user properties can be included.

get_table_schema

Get Table Schema

Retrieves the columns, data types, defaults, requirements, and relation targets for a Backendless database table. Use this before creating records or building queries.

manage_relations

Manage Object Relations

Sets, adds, or removes links between a parent Backendless object and existing child objects. Removing a link keeps the child object in its table.

Connect Backendless to your AI client

Every client uses the same Magic MCP URL, and so does any other MCP client. Add it once and sign in with SSO.

  1. Enable Backendless in Metorial. In your Metorial portal, enable the Backendless MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.
  2. Add a custom connector. Open Customize, then Connectors. Select Add, then Custom, then Web.
  3. Paste your Metorial MCP URL. Name it Metorial, paste your Magic MCP URL (<your-magic-mcp-url>) and continue.
  4. Sign in. Select Add and sign in to load Backendless tools.

Run Backendless through the Metorial gateway

One governed layer for every app your agents reach, not a separate connector per tool.

  • Give Backendless and every other app to your whole team through one MCP gateway, behind your SSO.
  • Scope which teams and agents can use Backendless tools with role-based access control, and trace every call.
  • Prefer to run it yourself? Metorial is open source and self-hostable.
