basely — AI-native Postgres in seconds

Getting Started

Get a Postgres database running in under a minute.

1. Sign up

Create an account at basely.cc.

2. Get your API key

Copy your API key from the dashboard. Keep it secret — treat it like a password.

3. Install the CLI

npm install -g @basely-cli/cli

4. Connect

basely auth setup --url https://api.basely.cc --key <your-key>

5. Create a project

basely projects create myapp
→ Returns a Postgres connection string. Save it — shown once.

6. Run a migration

basely migration push myapp --name 001_init --file ./schema.sql

CLI Reference

MCP / AI Agents

basely ships an MCP server so AI tools like Claude and Cursor can manage databases directly — no copy-paste, no context switching.
