Quick Start

This guide will help you enable InsForge in your Zeabur project and connect your AI IDE in minutes.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you’ll need:

  1. A Zeabur account
  2. A credit card on file in your Zeabur billing settings
  3. Sufficient account balance
  4. An AI IDE that supports MCP (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf)

Step 1: Enable InsForge

Open Your Project

Visit Zeabur Dashboard and navigate to the project where you want to enable InsForge.

Navigate to the InsForge Integration

In the project sidebar, find and click on “InsForge”.

Enable InsForge

Click the Enable InsForge button. A confirmation dialog will appear — confirm to proceed.

Enabling InsForge will provision a dedicated backend instance for your project. This may take a moment.

Note Your API Credentials

Once InsForge is enabled, you’ll see your:

  • API Endpoint - The base URL for your InsForge instance
  • API Key - Your authentication key for API access

Step 2: Connect Your AI IDE

After enabling InsForge, click Use in AI IDE to open the connection modal. Follow the instructions in Connect AI IDE for detailed setup steps.

Step 3: Start Building

Once your AI IDE is connected via MCP, send the following prompt to your AI agent to get started:

I'm using InsForge as my backend platform, fetch InsForge instruction doc to learn more about InsForge

Your AI agent will then be able to:

  • Create and manage database tables
  • Set up authentication
  • Handle file storage
  • Deploy edge functions
  • And more — all autonomously through the MCP protocol

Managing Your Instance

Open InsForge Dashboard

Click Open InsForge Dashboard in the integration page to access the full InsForge management interface with a dedicated dashboard for managing your database, auth, storage, and functions.

Pause InsForge

If you want to temporarily stop your InsForge instance to save costs, use the Pause InsForge option in the Danger Zone section. Your data will be preserved, and you can restore it later.

Restore InsForge

Click Restore to resume a paused instance.

Delete InsForge

🚫

Deleting InsForge will permanently remove all data associated with the instance. This action cannot be undone.

To permanently delete your InsForge instance, use the Delete InsForge option in the Danger Zone section.
