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:
Install the CLI:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/instapods/sdk/main/cli/install.sh | bash instapods auth loginCopy 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.mdAsk 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
