About Magic Cloud

Magic is an open-source platform for generating full-stack applications and AI agents from natural language. It produces the database layer, a secured API, business logic and a frontend, and positions itself as an alternative to Lovable, Bolt and Replit that gives you the whole backend on your own hardware without lock-in.

An API wizard can point at an existing MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server or MariaDB database and generate a complete secured REST API, which you can then extend in plain English without a build or deploy step. It can wrap third-party APIs from an OpenAPI or Swagger URL, build database-driven agents behind role-based access control, create embeddable chatbots grounded in crawled website content, run scheduled jobs and serve static sites and single-page apps. An MCP server exposes every endpoint as a tool for Claude, Cursor or Codex.

Magic is built on .NET with the Hyperlambda language and is licensed under MIT. It runs locally in about a minute using Docker, and its stated use cases include CRM systems, admin panels, booking systems and internal tools. It suits developers who want AI-generated apps with a self-hosted, auditable backend.
