Building apps with AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf is fast. You describe what you want, the model writes the code, and within an hour you have something working on your laptop. Then comes the slow part: getting it online. Provisioning a database, configuring a web server, sorting out SSL, wiring up environment variables. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) closes that gap. Connect Ploi Cloud to your AI tool once and ship to production from the same chat where you wrote the code.

What is MCP?

MCP is an open standard, originally developed by Anthropic, that lets AI assistants connect to external services and call their APIs as tools. Think of it as a bridge between the natural-language conversation in your editor and the structured commands a hosting platform needs to run. Once Ploi Cloud is connected over MCP, your AI tool can create applications, attach databases, set secrets, deploy code, and read logs on your behalf. You authorize the connection once with OAuth, then everything else happens through chat.

Supported AI tools

  • Claude Code
  • Claude Desktop
  • Cursor
  • Windsurf
  • ChatGPT
  • Codex CLI
  • VS Code with Copilot
  • Gemini Code Assist
  • Any MCP-compatible client

What you can do

  • Deploy applications from a Git repository or by uploading source code
  • Provision managed services (databases, caches, queues, object storage) and have the credentials wired in automatically
  • Stream live application and build logs to debug failures from the chat window
  • Create, update, and rotate secrets and environment variables
  • Attach custom domains and let the platform issue SSL certificates for you
  • Monitor deployments, scale resources up or down, and roll back to a previous release

Quick start

Run this in your terminal to connect Claude Code to Ploi Cloud:

claude mcp add --transport http ploi-cloud https://ploi.cloud/mcp

The first time your assistant calls a Ploi Cloud tool, your browser opens an OAuth consent screen. Sign in, approve, and you are done.
