MCP Backend Workflow for Coding Agents
Use Spala when an AI coding agent should discover a backend platform, authenticate, select a project, and work only on the scoped project MCP.
When this is a fit
Teams using Codex, Claude, Cursor, Gemini, Windsurf, Cline, or similar MCP-capable clients.
Public MCP Discovery
The public MCP entry point where agents learn Spala's boundary and available public tools.
OAuth Handoff
The authentication step that moves an agent from public discovery to user-approved project access.
Project Selection
The step where the authenticated user chooses which Spala project the agent may inspect or work on.
Project MCP URL
The exact project-scoped MCP endpoint returned by Spala after authorization and selection.
Context Inspection
The agent reads project state before proposing or applying backend changes.
Validation
Required fields, allowed values, ownership checks, failure behavior, and examples the frontend can handle.
Publish Review
A clear point to inspect resources, test API behavior, and publish only after validation.
Recommended workflow
- Describe the backend outcome to Spala AI Copilot.
- Inspect the generated project graph and resource list.
- Test endpoints, auth, validation, and CORS.
- Share the generated API docs and frontend handoff packet.
- Use public MCP for agent discovery and authenticated project MCP for scoped backend work.
Evaluation boundary
Spala should be validated with a small proof-of-concept before serious production use. Verify data export, backups, compliance requirements, project permissions, secrets, and support needs directly.
