Short answer
Can I edit my 4D database with an AI?
Yes. You can use your AI client to add new records, change existing data, or remove entries from your 4D database. You'll see exactly how this works below.
Data outcomes.
Where your changes land.
The AI acts on your database based on your chat commands.
NEW DATA
New records added
The AI creates new entries in your tables. You get fresh data in your database without manual typing.
UPDATES
Existing data modified
The AI changes specific fields in your current records. This keeps your information accurate and up to date.
REMOVAL
Records deleted
The AI removes entries you no longer need. You get a clean database by simply asking for deletions.
HUMAN
Manual review needed
You decide which records to change or delete. The AI waits for your instruction before it touches any data.
The workflow
What your AI does when you ask for a change.
The AI translates your natural language into database actions.
Add records
When you describe a new entry, the AI builds the record in your 4D table.
create_entityModify data
The AI finds the right record and updates the fields you specify.
update_entityRemove entries
The AI identifies the target record and deletes it from the database.
delete_entityConfirm actions
The AI processes your request and ensures the database reflects your intent.

Can I use this with Cursor or Windsurf?
Yes. You can use this with any MCP-compatible client.
- 05
Can the AI read my data?
The tools provided are for creating, updating, and deleting records. It does not have a tool for reading or searching data.
