Build a Secure REST API and Dashboard with MCP and Claude

DreamFactory's MCP server exposes your databases to an AI model as governed tools rather than raw credentials. This demo connects Claude to a live database through MCP, generates a secure REST API, and builds a working dashboard on top of it — end to end in about five minutes.
