InstaPods SDK

Tools and integrations for deploying and managing apps on InstaPods with AI assistants.

InstaPods is container hosting for developers — 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:

1. Install the CLI:

   curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/instapods/sdk/main/cli/install.sh | bash
   instapods auth login
   

2. 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
   

3. 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 — 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.md

Option 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 — Guided deployment workflow
• debug-pod — Systematic pod diagnosis
• getting-started — Overview of available tools and resources
