Cloudbase Platform

When to use this skill

Use this skill for CloudBase platform knowledge when you need to:

• Understand CloudBase storage and hosting concepts
• Configure authentication for different platforms (Web vs Mini Program)
• Deploy and manage cloud functions
• Understand database permissions and access control
• Work with data models (MySQL and NoSQL)
• Access CloudBase console management pages

This skill provides foundational knowledge that applies to all CloudBase projects, regardless of whether they are Web, Mini Program, or backend services.

How to use this skill (for a coding agent)

1. Understand platform differences

   • Web and Mini Program have completely different authentication approaches
   • Must strictly distinguish between platforms
   • Never mix authentication methods across platforms

2. Follow best practices

   • Use SDK built-in authentication features (Web)
   • Understand natural login-free feature (Mini Program)
   • Configure appropriate database permissions
   • Use cloud functions for cross-collection operations

3. Use correct SDKs and APIs

   • Different platforms require different SDKs for data models
   • MySQL data models must use models SDK, not collection API
   • Use envQuery tool to get environment ID

4. Use CloudBase MCP via mcporter (CLI) when IDE MCP is not available

   • You do not need to hard-code Secret ID / Secret Key / Env ID in config
   • CloudBase MCP will support device-code login via the auth tool, so credentials can be obtained interactively
   • Add CloudBase MCP server:

     npx mcporter config add cloudbase \
       --command "npx" \
       --arg "@cloudbase/cloudbase-mcp@latest" \
       --description "CloudBase MCP"
     

   • Discover tools and schemas:
     • npx mcporter list — list configured servers
     • npx mcporter describe cloudbase — inspect CloudBase server config and available tools
     • npx mcporter list cloudbase --schema — get full JS...
