# Softkiln for Claude Code

Deploy and host the project you are working on — a live HTTPS URL, a custom
domain, database, secrets and backups — without leaving your editor.

## Install

```
/plugin marketplace add softstars-as/softkiln-plugin
/plugin install softkiln
```

Then run `/mcp` and finish the browser sign-in. Your account is created on
first connect; there is no token to copy, and the free trial needs no card.

## What you get

- The `softkiln` MCP server, pre-configured — no `claude mcp add`, no URL to
  paste.
- **deploy** — first deploy of a new project, and every release after it.
- **go-live** — custom domain and HTTPS, plus the checks worth running before
  real users arrive.

Both skills are model-invoked: ask to "deploy this" or "point my domain at it"
and Claude picks them up.

## Without the plugin

The MCP server is reachable on its own:

```
claude mcp add --transport http softkiln https://softkiln.com/mcp/
```

Setup for every other client — Cursor, VS Code, Codex, ChatGPT, Claude.ai,
Perplexity, Mistral — is at <https://softkiln.com/connect.html>.
