butterbase

Why we included this project

Building an AI-powered app usually means gluing together a database, auth, storage, and an LLM proxy. Butterbase packs all of that into one Postgres-backed service you can self-host: row-level security, JWT and OAuth auth, S3-compatible storage, serverless TypeScript functions, an OpenAI-compatible model gateway, plus realtime subscriptions and RAG. The MCP server is the part that stands out: an AI assistant can create an app, define its schema, set up auth rules, deploy functions, and wire up RAG collections through tool calls rather than hand-written boilerplate. It's a natural fit for small teams and solo developers who want a Supabase-style backend they control, though it's an emerging project and moving fast.
