How does ToolJet handle user permissions and security?

ToolJet offers Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for fine-grained permissions on apps, data sources, and folders. It includes SSO integration (SAML, OAuth), audit logs, and is SOC 2 Type II compliant.

Can I connect ToolJet to my existing databases and APIs?

Yes, ToolJet supports a wide range of data sources out-of-the-box, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, REST APIs, GraphQL, Stripe, Twilio, and more. You can also use the ToolJet Database as a primary or staging data store.

What is ToolJet MCP and how does it work?

ToolJet MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a server that allows AI coding agents (like Claude Code, Cursor) to connect to your ToolJet workspace. These agents can then build, edit, and debug ToolJet apps directly, while respecting the platform's permissions and governance rules.

How does the AI credit system work?

AI credits are consumed when using ToolJet's AI features (like the AI App Builder). Credits are allocated per builder per month. Additional credits can be purchased as add-ons. The Enterprise plan offers custom credit allocations.

What are the system requirements for self-hosting ToolJet?

A basic setup requires a server with 2 vCPUs, 4GB RAM, and 50GB storage. Docker and Docker Compose are the recommended deployment methods. For production, you'll need a separate PostgreSQL database and Redis instance.

Can I version control my ToolJet applications?

Yes, the Team and Enterprise plans offer GitSync. This feature allows you to connect your ToolJet workspace to a Git repository, enabling version control, pull requests for app changes, and CI/CD workflows.

ToolJet

ToolJet is an open-source, low-code platform for building internal tools, business applications, and AI agents quickly. It combines a drag-and-drop app builder, workflow automation, and a built-in PostgreSQL-based database. The platform enables developers and non-technical users to connect to diverse data sources, build UIs with pre-built components, and implement complex logic without writing extensive code. Key capabilities include an AI app builder for generating interfaces via natural language, an agent builder for automating complex business processes, and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows external coding agents (like Claude Code or Codex) to build governed apps. It offers enterprise-grade features such as SSO, RBAC, audit logs, and multi-environment deployments, making it suitable for scaling internal tooling across organizations.
