What is Ulabase? Build Apps With Joy
Ulabase is the complete backend platform that handles authentication, data APIs, permissions, and more - so you can focus on building what makes your product unique.
MCP without code: we let AI agents test it, and they made it better
Ulabase now turns your data into an MCP server with no code: publish a collection, describe it, connect Claude.

It was right, and the version we released is the redesign that followed.

Users must accept the current Terms of Service and Privacy Policy before they can use the app, and the acceptance is recorded server-side with the version and the date. Four server-side documents, applied by one command — and no version check anywhere in the client.
Ulabase — June 2026 Updates
