GenMB Code

GenMB Code is an AI coding assistant built into the app editor. Unlike chat refinement which regenerates entire files, GenMB Code makes precise, targeted edits to individual files using a tool-based approach — reading, editing, and writing files exactly where changes are needed.

It understands your entire project structure and can navigate across files, making surgical edits instead of regenerating everything from scratch. Every set of changes creates a new version so you can review diffs and rollback if needed. It works with all supported frameworks: Vanilla JS, React, and React + TypeScript.

Open GenMB Code from the sidebar in the app editor. Describe the changes you want in the chat input, and the AI will use tools to implement them across your project files.

GenMB Code uses a set of file-operation tools to implement changes precisely. The AI decides which tools to use based on your request — you do not need to invoke them manually.

• ●list_files — Lists all files in your project so the AI can understand the project structure.
• ●read_file — Reads the full content of a specific file to understand existing code before editing.
• ●edit_file — Makes targeted edits to a file by replacing specific code sections. The most commonly used tool.
• ●write_file — Creates a new file or completely replaces an existing file when a full rewrite is needed.
• ●report_done — Signals that all changes are complete and summarizes what was modified.

Connect external MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to give GenMB Code access to additional tools and capabilities beyond file editing. This lets the AI interact with databases, APIs, and code analysis tools directly from your editing session.

• ●Add MCP servers in the app settings to extend the tools available to GenMB Code.
• ●External MCP servers can provide tools for database queries, API calls, code analysis, and more.
• ●Each app can connect up to 10 MCP servers. Tools from all connected servers are available in the same session.
• ●MCP servers must use HTTPS and are validated against SSRF protections for security.

Both features let you modify your app with natural language, but they work differently and are suited to different tasks.

• ●Chat Refinement regenerates files based on your prompt. Best for broad changes like "redesign the landing page" or "add a new section."
• ●GenMB Code edits specific lines in specific files. Best for targeted changes like "fix the bug in the login handler" or "add error handling to the API call."
• ●Chat Refinement works on Free plans. GenMB Code requires Pro or higher.
• ●GenMB Code maintains a conversation history within a session, so you can iterate on changes with full context.

Get the most out of GenMB Code with these best practices.

If the AI misunderstands your intent, clarify in the follow-up message — it retains the full conversation context and can adjust based on your feedback.
