Retool is an enterprise app building platform that lets developers and business teams create internal tools using natural language, React components, and AI. The platform offers three primary ways to build apps: a chat driven AI app builder that generates full applications from descriptions, an MCP server that connects AI coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor to Retool's governed environment, and the ability to import React code from platforms like Lovable and Replit via ZIP upload or GitHub sync. Every app connects directly to production data sources such as Snowflake, PostgreSQL, AWS, and Anthropic, with access governed by existing permissions. Retool emphasizes enterprise security with built in auth, access controls, audit logging, and compliance certifications including SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
