The Base44 backend service and the CLI are currently in beta. We’re actively improving the platform and documentation based on user feedback. Share your thoughts and feature requests on our GitHub Discussions page.
The Base44 backend service provides everything you need to build and deploy your applications. Get started with the following commands: 
npm install -g base44@latest   # Install the CLI
base44 login                   # Authenticate
base44 create                  # Create a project

​
Build with AI

Projects created with the CLI are automatically configured with Base44 skills. Just open your project in your preferred AI assistant and start building. You can also connect the Base44 Docs MCP server to give your AI tool direct access to this documentation.
