set up your backend with one prompt

Hi!
I build apps with AI coding agents like Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex, but kept hitting the same wall:

the agent could build the frontend, while I still had to create cloud accounts, provision services, copy API keys, manage env vars, and configure OAuth manually.

So I built Orchard, an MCP server that lets coding agents set up and connect six managed backend services:

Google authentication
Database
File storage
Transactional email
Static hosting
Analytics

You connect Orchard to your editor once. After that, you can ask:

“Add Google login.”
“Let users upload profile photos.”
“Deploy this app.”
“Where are my users from, and is the app fast there?”

The agent selects the right service and wires it into your project. No separate cloud accounts, API keys, or env vars.

Check this out: Orchard

I’d especially like feedback from people using MCP in real projects: what would you need before trusting an agent to configure your backend?
