InstaPods
from instapods
Deploy and manage hosting pods from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Localhost to live URL in one step.
InstaPods SDK
Tools and integrations for deploying and managing apps on InstaPods with AI assistants.
InstaPods is container hosting for developers โ deploy Node.js, Python, PHP, and static apps with a single command. This SDK provides two ways to integrate InstaPods with Claude:
Integration Paths
Claude Code (CLI Skill)
A skill that teaches Claude Code how to deploy and debug apps using the instapods CLI.
Setup:
-
Install the CLI:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/instapods/sdk/main/cli/install.sh | bash instapods auth login -
Copy the skill to your project:
mkdir -p .claude/skills/instapods-cli curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/instapods/sdk/main/skills/instapods-cli/SKILL.md \ -o .claude/skills/instapods-cli/SKILL.md -
Ask Claude Code to deploy:
> deploy my app to instapods > my app is returning 502, help me debug > add a PostgreSQL database to my pod
Claude Desktop / Claude.ai (MCP Skill)
Two options โ use the MCP skill for guided workflows, or connect directly via MCP.
Option A: MCP Skill (recommended)
Copy the skill to your project:
mkdir -p .claude/skills/instapods-mcp
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/instapods/sdk/main/skills/instapods-mcp/SKILL.md \
-o .claude/skills/instapods-mcp/SKILL.mdOption B: Direct MCP connection
Add to your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"instapods": {
"url": "https://app.instapods.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}On first use, Claude will walk you through OAuth authentication. See mcp/README.md for the full setup guide.
The MCP server includes built-in prompts:
- deploy-app โ Guided deployment workflow
- debug-pod โ Systematic pod diagnosis
- getting-started โ Overview of available tools and resources
