Building a complete app with Grist + MCP
We really think Grist is the best vibe-coding platform, so why don’t we prove it? Join Anais as she wields Grist’s MCP server to create a full-blown data application in a single session. She’ll demonstrate how easy it is, but more importantly: how secure and sustainable AI workflows are on top of Grist’s stable structure.
