backend for ai agents

Coding agents are great at logic. Terrible at architecture. Without structure, they guess folder layouts, mix concerns, and break on imports. Backant gives your agent an MCP tool that scaffolds a complete, layered Flask backend in one call — so it stops guessing and starts shipping.

┌─Features

Everything your agent needs, fully interactive through a CLI or MCP.

terminal

$ ant generate api shop --json spec.json

Creating project structure...

✓ api/routes/shop_route.py

✓ api/services/shop_service.py

✓ api/repositories/shop_repository.py

✓ api/models/Shop_model.py

✓ api/startup/Alchemy.py (updated)

✓ api/app.py (blueprint registered)

✓ docker-compose.yml

✓ docker-compose-prod.yml

✓ .github/workflows/deploy.yml

✓ requirements.txt

Done. Run: docker-compose up --build

GENERATE API

One JSON spec. A complete backend.

Tell the agent what you need. Backant handles the rest — routes, services, repositories, models, Docker, CI/CD — wired and ready to run.

terminal

$ npx backant-wizard@latest

Detected: Claude Code

Configuring MCP server...

✓ OAuth client ID set

✓ MCP tools registered:

backant_generate_api

backant_generate_route

backant_generate_subroute

Ready. Ask your agent to build a backend.

MCP SERVER

Your agent calls Backant directly.

Install once. Your coding agent — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any of 30+ MCP-compatible tools — can now scaffold and extend backends without leaving the chat.

GENERATE ROUTE

Add a new layered endpoint to any existing project. Route, service, repository, model — all created and registered in one command.

ant generate route orders

MOCK DATA

Prototype instantly with --mock. The full service layer is wired — swap mock for real database calls when ready.

ant generate route users --mock '[{"id":1}]'

DOCKER READY

Every project ships with dev and production Docker Compose configs. No setup, no guessing.

docker-compose up --build

CI/CD INCLUDED

GitHub Actions workflow builds and pushes to AWS ECR automatically. Push to main and your image is deployed.

git push origin main

┌─Real Examples

Where agents get stuck

Scaffold a complete project from a JSON spec

Without Backant

# Agent scaffolds a flat structure

app.py

models.py # everything mixed in

routes.py # no separation of concerns

utils.py

# Then the errors start...

ImportError: cannot import name "db"

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named "config"

# 47 follow-up prompts later...

With Backant

$ ant generate api shop --json spec.json

✓ api/routes/shop_route.py

✓ api/services/shop_service.py

✓ api/repositories/shop_repository.py

✓ api/models/Shop_model.py

✓ docker-compose.yml

✓ docker-compose-prod.yml

✓ .github/workflows/deploy.yml

✓ requirements.txt

Done. Run: docker-compose up --build

For AI agents to generate correct backends, they need structure and tooling.
