Replit Agent turns a prompt into a working app. SurrealDB is the one database behind that app, covering documents, graph, vectors, and SQL in a single engine. The piece that connects them is the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Every SurrealDB instance running 3.1 or later can expose a first-party MCP server: a typed tool surface that AI agents call to inspect your schema and run queries safely. Replit Agent supports any MCP server as a connector, and adds them with a single click. Put the two together and Replit can build directly from the data you already have in SurrealDB.
This is vibe coding for teams that already own their data. Instead of letting an agentic coding tool improvise a throwaway backend, you point Replit at SurrealDB and build on a database you already trust, with the agent reading your real schema as it goes.
This guide is a hands-on quickstart. By the end you will have SurrealDB 3.1 running with its MCP server enabled, connected to a Replit project, and you will have prompted Replit Agent to generate a real interface on top of your data.
