Quickstart: deploy an app from Claude, Codex or Cursor
Connect vbtnl to your AI agent as an MCP server and put a working app on a public HTTPS address in about five minutes.
vbtnl is hosting that your AI agent operates by itself. You add vbtnl to Claude, Codex or Cursor as an MCP server, describe what you need, and the agent writes the code, runs it on vbtnl servers and replies with a link. There is no git repository, no hosting panel and no deploy script.
1. Create an account
Sign up at app.vbtnl.com. The Free plan needs no credit card.
2. Connect your AI agent
Every client uses the same MCP address:
https://api.vbtnl.com/mcp
Pick your client and follow its page:
Clients that support sign-in open a vbtnl page where you press Allow. Clients without sign-in use a personal token from your vbtnl account.
3. Ask for an app
Describe the result in plain words:
Make a landing page with a waitlist form. Save the emails to a database.
The agent creates a project, writes the files, starts the app and replies with a draft address such as yourapp-dev.vbtnl.site. Open it and ask for changes until it is right.
4. Publish
Ship it.
The agent publishes the draft to production at yourapp.vbtnl.site. Every publish is saved as a numbered version, so you can ask to roll back to an earlier one at any time.
