Building apps with AI

AI coding agents can build Stayblox apps end to end: scaffold, explore the GraphQL API, handle webhooks, and validate the manifest, all through the Stayblox CLI's MCP server.

Machine-readable documentation

Start from the scaffold

bash
npm install -g @stayblox/cli
stayblox app init my-app

The scaffold ships AGENTS.md (structure and iteration loop) and .mcp.json (registers the stayblox mcp server).

The dev MCP server

Run stayblox login once, then start your agent. Tools useful for app work:

ToolWhat it does
search_docsSearches this documentation offline.
validate_app_manifestValidates app.toml and returns the errors to fix.
get_graphql_schemaFetches the Developer API schema for the current version.
run_graphqlRuns queries and mutations against your development store install.
list_webhook_topicsLists every webhook topic with its payload shape.
get_webhook_deliveriesLists real, signed deliveries received by your dev install.
replay_webhookRe-delivers a recorded webhook to your local server.

A working loop

  1. Ask the agent to add a capability, for example reacting to new bookings.
  2. The agent reads the schema with get_graphql_schema, finds the topic with list_webhook_topics, and writes the handler.
  3. The agent tests the handler by replaying a real delivery with replay_webhook.
  4. After manifest changes, the agent runs validate_app_manifest before you push.
