ObjectStack Documentation

ObjectStack is an AI-native business backend protocol for structured, auditable business applications. The way you build it: an AI agent (Claude Code) authors your application as typed metadata — data model, logic, permissions, UI — a validation gate rejects mistakes that would fail silently at runtime, and you verify the result in a visual Console. From that one source of truth the runtime derives everything else — the database schema on interchangeable drivers, a generated REST + realtime API, permission-checked automation, server-driven UI, and an MCP server, so the app you build is itself AI-operable. Agents act through the same typed, permission-aware surface — never raw SQL or scraped UI.

• What Can It Do? — the platform's capabilities in business language, no code — start here if you're evaluating
• Build Without Code — what admins and analysts do visually in Console, Studio, and Setup
• Build with Claude Code — the main workflow: an agent builds the app, you verify it in the Console
• How AI Development Works — why AI-builds / human-verifies is fast and safe
• What is ObjectStack? — the protocol model and runtime layers
• Core Concepts — the ideas behind metadata-driven development
• Architecture — how the runtime turns your metadata into a database, API, UI, and MCP surface

Platform modules

Each module documents one capability in depth — overview first, then guides, with links to the matching protocol spec and schema reference.

Protocol & reference

• Protocol Spec — the normative ObjectQL / Kernel / ObjectUI specifications for implementers
• Schema Reference — generated Zod schema reference for every metadata type
• Quick Reference — fast lookup tables across all protocols
• Glossary — the shared vocabulary used across these docs
• Releases — release notes and implementation status
