FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

nBNC Software Announces FMS-Manager: Talk to Your FileMaker Server #

The first natural language administration layer for Claris FileMaker Server — now seeking field testers #

Barcelona, June 2026 — nBNC Software today announced FMS-Manager, a new commercial product that lets FileMaker Server administrators manage their infrastructure by simply talking to it. Instead of navigating admin panels, memorising API syntax, or scheduling manual checks, administrators type — or say — what they need, in any language, and FMS-Manager handles the rest. Beyond the built-in chat interface, FMS-Manager also exposes a REST API and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) service, so it integrates directly with personal AI agents such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

“The FileMaker Server Admin API exposes tremendous power. The problem is that using it requires technical knowledge that most administrators should not have to carry in their heads,” said Francesc Sans, founder of nBNC Software. “FMS-Manager closes that gap. You describe what you want. The system figures out how to do it safely, confirms when needed, and gives you a plain-language answer.”

Just ask #

FMS-Manager connects directly to the Claris FileMaker Server Admin REST API — all 95+ endpoints across 14 functional categories — and makes every one of them accessible through a conversational interface. There is no command syntax to learn. Examples of what administrators can say on day one:

Every command is backed by a live API call. Every result — success or failure — is written to an append-only audit log before the response is returned. Nothing happens silently.

Built-in intelligence: it knows what can go wrong #

FMS-Manager does not just execute commands. When something is broken or behaving unexpectedly, it searches a curated knowledge base of FileMaker Server error patterns, the official FileMaker Admin Guide, and the history of past interactions to give doc-backed, contextual answers:

The knowledge base grows with use. Successful resolutions are fed back into it, making the system progressively more useful the longer it runs.

Safety that matches the stakes #

FMS-Manager distinguishes between reading and acting, and between staging and production. Destructive operations — disconnecting clients, closing databases, deleting schedules, importing certificates — require explicit confirmation before execution. On production-environment servers, a second confirmation is required: the administrator must type the server name to proceed.

No operation bypasses this flow. No operation goes unlogged.

Fleet management: one interface for every server #

FMS-Manager is built for multi-server environments from the ground up. Administrators register each FileMaker Server instance once — name, host, and credentials, stored encrypted — and then address any of them by name within the same conversation:

Every command, every metric, and every alert is tagged to the specific server it came from. The entire fleet can be monitored from a single interface.

Automated monitoring: it watches when you are not looking #

FMS-Manager runs continuous, scheduled health checks across the entire server fleet without any manual intervention. Every day, for every registered server:

Metrics are stored historically in PostgreSQL. At any time, the administrator can ask:

Field Testing Program #

FMS-Manager is currently seeking field testers to validate the system across different FileMaker Server environments and use cases. Early participants will receive priority access to new features, direct influence on product development, dedicated technical support, and special licensing terms.
