# shipd
> the deploy mcp for coding agents. one command: backend, frontend, database — live.

shipd builds your agent's app as one gVisor-isolated container, attaches managed
postgres, wires DATABASE_URL, and returns a live https url. no email, no dashboard —
a github ssh key is identity.

## for agents
- mcp endpoint: https://mcp.aikaara.com/sse (http transport, bearer token)
- add (claude code): claude mcp add --transport http shipd https://mcp.aikaara.com/sse --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
- add (codex): codex mcp add shipd --url https://mcp.aikaara.com/sse --bearer-token-env-var SHIPD_TOKEN — then export SHIPD_TOKEN="$(cat ~/.shipd/token)" in your shell rc. codex reads a bearer token from the environment and has no raw-header option for http servers, so the mcpServers JSON below does NOT apply to it.
- add (cursor, windsurf, claude.ai connectors): {"mcpServers":{"shipd":{"url":"https://mcp.aikaara.com/sse","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer <token>"}}}}
- tested clients: claude code, claude.ai connectors (oauth). others untested but standard streamable-http.
- get a token: have the human run  curl -fsSL https://shipd.aikaara.com/join | sh
- tools: create_project, deploy, set_env, provision_database, get_logs, rollback, export, status, list_projects, report_bug, chat, chat_read, my_reports
- container deploys + provision_database are open to alpha seats (10, granted in chat); every other tool works on any token.
- builds are synchronous (~1–2 min). prototypes and side projects, not production banking.
- exit: export returns repo + docker-compose. self-host the runtime: https://aikaara.com/factory
