NocoBase

NocoBase is a self-hosted platform for teams building business applications for themselves or clients, including CRM, help desks, and project management systems. It combines a visual no-code editor with support for AI coding agents, so business users can adjust what agents build without editing code. Business data stays in your own database.

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and TRAE can build on its existing data models, permissions, and workflow infrastructure. People can edit pages and business rules visually, and agents can continue working from those changes. The shared foundation reduces the need to recreate basic application components for each project.

Built-in AI employees work inside business workflows. They can answer questions about business data, fill forms, recognize documents, monitor risks, and route tasks. Each has its own role and field-level read and write permissions, while audit logs record data changes and workflow triggers. External agents can connect through MCP and HTTP APIs; integrations with Slack, Gmail, Telegram, and WhatsApp let users query data and trigger business actions.

NocoBase separates relational data from the interface and supports external databases and third-party APIs as data sources. Its plugin architecture lets teams combine official and custom extensions. It runs on modest servers and uses TypeScript, Node.js, React, and Koa. NocoBase uses its own license agreement incorporating Apache-2.0 with additional restrictions. AI employees require a configured model provider; self-hosting the application does not establish local inference, and remote-provider requests leave your infrastructure.
