cdbx.ai
cdbx.ai is an AI-native web IDE and workspace that combines an in-browser development environment with intelligent agents and MCP (Model Context Protocol) connectors. It is designed to let users simply describe an application and have it built automatically, while still offering the full capabilities of a traditional code editor for developers. The platform includes the Monaco editor (the same engine as VS Code), a real terminal with streaming output, an AI pair programmer that reads and writes files, and instant previews without any npm install or local setup. The workspace integrates deeply with external services through MCP, allowing AI to query Notion, GitHub, Slack, Google Drive, and other tools on demand. Users can also connect the cdbx MCP server to external AI coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or their own applications. In addition to the core editor, cdbx features agents woven into every step: a Planning Agent for writing PRDs and architecture, Vibe Coding for generating entire apps, Self-Healing to fix build errors, a Visual Loop for iterating UI against a live preview, and a Help Assistant for inline support. Agents can also act on behalf of the user across Slack, GitHub, Linear, and more, even when the editor is closed. The platform supports multiple design systems such as Material 3, Carbon, shadcn/ui, Ant Design, Bootstrap 5, or custom design tokens from Figma or MCP. This ensures AI-generated code adheres to a user's design language, using CSS variables and automatically correcting hardcoded values. cdbx is built for simplicity: users describe an app in plain English, watch it build in real time, publish with one click, and the platform scales from a browser preview to a real server as the app grows. cdbx.ai is a paid product aimed at both developers and non-developers, offering a no-setup environment to turn ideas into applications quickly. It is suitable for individuals, startups, and teams looking to accelerate software creation without the fr
