CLI Deploy

Deploy from Claude Code

Claude Code built your app from the terminal. Deploy it from the terminal too. One CLI command to go from local project to a live HTTPS URL on a real Linux server - no Docker, no nginx, no cloud dashboard.

The Deployment Gap

Claude Code is Anthropic's terminal-based AI agent that scaffolds entire projects, writes tests, builds APIs, and refactors code - all from your command line. It can generate a complete Flask API, a Next.js frontend, or a full-stack app in minutes. But once Claude Code finishes building, you are left with working code on your local machine and no clear path to get it online.

  • Claude Code generates complete, working projects locally - but has no built-in hosting or deploy command to get them live
  • Full-stack apps with Flask, FastAPI, Express, or Django backends need a real server runtime, not a static CDN like Netlify or GitHub Pages
  • You went from zero to working app in 5 minutes with Claude Code, then spend an hour configuring nginx, SSL certificates, firewall rules, and process managers
  • The terminal-native workflow breaks the moment you switch to a cloud provider dashboard to provision a server and configure hosting
  • Most PaaS platforms (Vercel, Railway, Render) require Docker, buildpacks, or YAML config files that Claude Code does not generate by default

Deploy in 4 Steps

1

Install the InstaPods CLI

One command to install the InstaPods CLI on macOS, Linux, or WSL. It stays in the terminal, matching Claude Code's workflow.

curl -fsSL https://instapods.com/install.sh | sh
2

Login to your account

Authenticate the CLI with your InstaPods account. Free 7-day sandbox - no credit card required.

instapods login

Deploy your Claude Code project

From the same terminal session where Claude Code built your app, run the deploy command. InstaPods auto-detects your stack (Python, Node.js, PHP, or static), uploads your code, installs dependencies, and gives you a live HTTPS URL.

cd my-claude-code-project
instapods deploy my-app --preset python

Your app is live

Your Claude Code project is running on a real Linux server with a public HTTPS URL. SSH in to debug, check logs in real time, add a custom domain, or install any system package you need.

Auto-Deploy

After Claude Code makes changes to your project, re-deploy with a single command and your updates go live in seconds. Or connect a GitHub repo and let InstaPods auto-deploy every commit - build, install, restart, all handled automatically.

Why Not Manual VPS Setup?

  • No server provisioning - InstaPods gives you a running server in seconds vs 30+ minutes configuring a VPS from scratch
  • No nginx or reverse proxy config - HTTPS and domain routing are automatic on every pod
  • No Docker or containerization needed - push your code directly, InstaPods handles the runtime environment
  • SSH access included - full root access to a real Linux server, just like a VPS but without the setup work
  • Flat $7/mo pricing - no surprise bandwidth charges, no per-request billing, no egress fees

Or Let Claude Deploy For You

InstaPods has a built-in MCP server that works directly with Claude Code. Instead of running CLI commands yourself, you can ask Claude to deploy your app, check server status, run commands, and manage your pods - all from the same conversation where you built the app.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of Claude Code projects can I deploy?

Any project Claude Code generates can be deployed to InstaPods. This includes Python apps (Flask, FastAPI, Django), Node.js apps (Express, Next.js, Astro), PHP apps (Laravel, WordPress), and static sites. InstaPods supports all major runtimes with pre-configured server environments.

Do I need Docker to deploy a Claude Code app?

No. InstaPods does not require Docker, Dockerfiles, or docker-compose. You deploy your code directly using the CLI command and InstaPods handles the server environment, dependencies, and process management automatically.

How long does it take to deploy a Claude Code project?

The first deploy typically takes 10-30 seconds depending on the number of dependencies. Subsequent re-deploys after Claude Code makes changes take 5-10 seconds. The pod itself launches instantly.

Can Claude Code deploy directly to InstaPods using MCP?

Yes. InstaPods has an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that integrates directly with Claude Code. You can ask Claude to create a pod, deploy your project, run commands, and manage your server - all from the same terminal conversation. Add the InstaPods MCP server in your Claude Code settings to enable this.

What does a deployed Claude Code app cost?

Plans start at $3/mo for the Launch plan (0.5 vCPU, 512 MB RAM, 5 GB storage). The Build plan at $7/mo (1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 10 GB storage) is recommended for most Claude Code projects. Pricing is flat with no bandwidth charges or per-request fees. Every new account gets a free 7-day sandbox pod. Add a payment method for $10 credit.

Can I SSH into my deployed Claude Code app?

Yes. Every InstaPods pod includes full SSH access to a real Linux server. You can SSH in to debug issues, install additional system packages, check logs, or run commands - just like a VPS, but without the setup work.
