The platform targets internal tools and dashboards, offering self-hosted or VPC deployment, and is used by startups to Fortune 500 companies.", "body_md": "# Claude Code writes the app. ** DronaHQ runs it. **\n\nConnect the DronaHQ application platform to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or VS Code over MCP. Your coding agent gets a production backend it can actually deploy to - auth, RBAC, secrets, database and API connections, environments, hosting, audit. No server. No CI/CD. No SSL cert. No middleware.\n\n## From startups to Fortune 500s, the world’s leading teams rely on DronaHQ to build internal tools.\n\n## Your coding agent can build it.** It can’t ship it**\n\nClaude Code will happily generate a working admin panel. Then you spend the rest of the day on the parts it can’t do for you:** where does this run? who’s allowed to see it? where do the DB credentials live? how does it reach the service behind the VPN? what happens when someone needs a rollback? and who signs off?**\n\nDo that for the next eleven internal tools. That’s the year.\n\n## Prompt from your IDE.** Get a governed app.**\n\nCount on DronaHQ to ensure your apps meet the highest security standards.\n\n### Use DronaHQ MCP when its\n\n- CRUD\n- Internal tooling\n- Dashboards\n- Field-force apps\n\n### Bring your own backend when you ‘ve:\n\n- Heavy proprietary logic\n- Real public API surface\n\n**Not just a frontend code.**\n\nYour IDE, with a production substrate behind it.\n\n**Self-hosted or VPC**\n\n**RBAC and audit by default**\n\n**Code never leaves your environment**\n\n**Works with your existing review process.**\n\n## **Talk to an engineer** Bring the process. We'll tell you which one you need.\n\nThirty minutes with someone who has shipped this before — not a qualification call. Bring one workflow you’d like to see running by next quarter.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-mcp-for-building-secured-apps-on-sql-databases", "canonical_source": "https://www.dronahq.com/mcp-server/", "published_at": "2026-08-05 02:36:20+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-05 02:52:19.108466+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["developer-tools", "ai-tools", "ai-agents", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["DronaHQ", "Claude Code", "Codex", "Cursor", "VS Code"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-mcp-for-building-secured-apps-on-sql-databases", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-mcp-for-building-secured-apps-on-sql-databases.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-mcp-for-building-secured-apps-on-sql-databases.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-mcp-for-building-secured-apps-on-sql-databases.jsonld"}}
