Overview

This MCP server enables an AI agent to deploy and operate live multi-user web applications from a single HTML file and manifest. It hosts apps at unique URLs with features like magic-link authentication, shared realtime databases, per-role permissions, email notifications, and file uploads. The agent retains ongoing read/write access to modify the app's data after deployment. Use this when you want an AI to build, host, and manage interactive web apps without manual deployment steps.

Documentation Overview

Homespun

Apps your AI builds and hosts, for you and the people you invite.

An agent creates a real web app from a single HTML file plus a manifest, and Homespun hosts it at a URL. People open the link and use it. No install, no build step, no deploy pipeline.

What is in this repository

The client side, all MIT licensed:

Package	What it is
`@homespunapps/cli`	The `homespun` command line client
`@homespunapps/mcp`	The MCP server, so an agent can drive Homespun as a tool
`@homespunapps/core`	Shared client library and types

Plus the agent skill (skills/homespun) and the Claude plugin (plugins/homespun).

The relay, which is the hosted server these clients talk to, is not open source and is not in this repository.

Getting started

Terminal

npm install -g @homespunapps/cli
homespun agent register
homespun deploy ./my-app

./my-app needs an index.html and a manifest.json. The quickstart walks through both.

To use Homespun from a chat client such as Claude or ChatGPT instead of a terminal, see Connect to your AI chat, which needs no install at all.
