🚀 I just built a full admin dashboard Forge component by talking to Service Studio through Claude — and it blew my mind

Hey everyone! Wanted to share something I’m genuinely excited about.

I just finished building and submitting MetisSidebar to Forge — a full Reactive admin dashboard theme (collapsible sidebar, nested menus, KPI dashboards, real OutSystemsCharts, TableRecords-driven tables, the works) — and I built almost the entire thing by talking to Claude through its Service Studio MCP integration. No manual drag-and-drop. No clicking through the Logic tab. I described what I wanted, and Claude wrote the Model API code, applied it directly to the live .oml, and merged it into Service Studio in front of me.

A few things that genuinely surprised me:

🧠 It writes real C# against the Model API — entities, screens, widget trees, flow logic, theme CSS, all of it — and merges the diff straight into Service Studio for me to review before it lands.

🔍 It debugged itself like an engineer, not a chatbot. When my sidebar collapse toggle looked broken, it didn’t just guess — it opened the actual running app in its own browser, used DevTools-style JS to inspect computed CSS, found that OutSystems UI’s own margin-left: var(--side-menu-size) was fighting my override, and fixed the actual root cause instead of papering over the symptom.

📊 Built real, data-bound OutSystemsCharts and TableRecords tables — not fake screenshots — wired to proper structures and server actions.

🤝 It asked when it should, and acted when it should. Risky stuff (publishing, destructive changes) it flagged and asked permission for. Everything else, it just handled — and when something I showed it turned out to be a hand-drawn annotation and not a real bug, it said so instead of “fixing” a problem that didn’t exist.

Huge shoutout to the OutSystems AI Agents team/community — the Service Studio MCP server is what made this whole workflow possible, and it feels like a genuinely new way to build on the platform. Would love to hear if others are experimenting with this too!
