About Xano
Xano is a backend development platform that gives teams one governed place to build, test, deploy and observe server logic, databases and APIs, positioned around making software written by AI agents trustworthy in production. Every API, function and task is a single artifact with three synchronized views: a visual canvas, a function stack and XanoScript code, so the same logic can be edited in the browser or in an IDE.
It suits product teams, agencies and enterprises that want production backends without running their own platform team. Teams set a workspace ruleset once, covering allowed AI skills, required test suites, permitted dependencies, auth patterns, environments and data residency, and every build by engineers or agents inherits it. Agents such as Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT connect through the Xano developer MCP, and a CLI pulls a workspace to disk, pushes to sandbox environments, runs workflow tests and promotes releases. The platform includes a Postgres database, no code API, MCP and agent builders, Redis caching, background tasks, static frontend hosting, branching and merging, request history, tracing and error logs, RBAC and audit logs, with self hosting on AWS, Azure, GCP or on premises.
