# Backend for AI agents

Your agent ships a real backend, no signups.

When an AI coding agent builds an app, it hits a wall: the app needs a database, auth, storage, and a place to run, each behind its own signup and dashboard. Cohesivity is one HTTP API that lets the agent provision all of it in a single call, with the provider keys held server-side. You claim the project when you are ready.

the signup wall

## Agents can write the app. They cannot sign up for the backend.

A capable agent can build a full-stack app end to end, until it needs a real database, a bucket for uploads, a login system, or somewhere to deploy. Every one of those is a separate account, a card on file, and a key to paste. The build stops so a human can go sign up. Cohesivity removes that wall: one place holds the provider accounts, and the agent reaches them over a single API.

one API, the whole backend

how it works

## HTTP in, a working backend out

1. 01  
The agent asks  
It creates a project and requests a service, a database, storage, auth, with a single HTTP call. No console, no signup.
2. 02  
Cohesivity provisions  
The resource is created and the real upstream keys are injected server-side. The agent gets back credentials or a proxy endpoint.
3. 03  
You claim it  
The project runs immediately and is yours to claim with one approval whenever you want to keep it. No signup form before the build.

frequently asked

## Backend for AI agents, answered

### Can an AI coding agent provision a backend on its own?

Yes. An agent like Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex talks to one HTTP API: it creates a project, asks for the services the app needs, and gets back credentials or proxy endpoints. There is no separate human console for provisioning, the agent does it as it builds.

### How do I give my AI agent a backend without signing up for each service?

Cohesivity holds the upstream provider accounts, so your agent never pauses to sign up for a database host, a storage vendor, or an AI provider. It requests a service over HTTP, Cohesivity provisions it and injects the real keys server-side, and the app starts using it. You visit no cloud dashboards and paste no API keys.

### Which backend services can an agent set up?

A managed Postgres database, Redis, a vector database, object storage, hosting, edge workers, realtime channels, social login, an AI gateway across model providers, direct OpenAI access, an email inbox, and a headless browser, each provisioned through the same API.

### How is this different from Supabase or Neon?

Those give you one piece, a database, and still expect a signup and a dashboard. Cohesivity provisions the whole backend across many services from one agent-first API, with the provider accounts and keys managed for you. The agent wires it all up in the same build.

### Do I have to create an account before my agent starts?

No. A new project is ephemeral for 72 hours, so the agent can start building immediately. When you want to keep it, you claim the project with one approval and take ownership, you never saw a signup form before the work began.
