The VIA and KB MCP Servers
Caution: It is highly recommended that developers take the Vantiq Application Developer Foundations Course before using these MCP servers. This free Vantiq Academy class gives a strong and sweeping overview of the whole platform, as well as hands-on lab experience in building practical event-driven, AI-integrated application. This knowledge will allow the developer to give informed feedback to the AI Assistant during development.
Vantiq’s new VIA MCP server is designed to greatly reduce application development time on the Vantiq platform. Developers work in tandem with an AI Assistant using this server (generally Claude Code) and VIA provides the means to build most parts of the project.
Vantiq’s KB server is designed to answer developer questions about application design and how to work in the IDE.
Together, these two servers facilitate development success and developer understanding of what they are building.
