# softkiln > softkiln is an MCP-native hosting platform that takes the product you built with AI > to production in minutes — domains, HTTPS, secrets, backups, monitoring and > security are all handled. You drive everything from your editor or chat app by > connecting to softkiln's remote MCP server. ## Connect over MCP - **MCP endpoint:** https://softkiln.com/mcp/ (streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1). - **Auth:** browser sign-in on first connect; your account is created automatically. No token to copy. - **Claude Code:** `claude mcp add --transport http softkiln https://softkiln.com/mcp/` then run `/mcp` and finish the browser sign-in. Or install the plugin, which configures the server and adds deploy/go-live skills: `/plugin marketplace add softstars-as/softkiln-plugin` then `/plugin install softkiln@softkiln` — both typed at the Claude Code prompt, not in a shell. - **Chat apps (ChatGPT, Claude.ai, Perplexity, Mistral Le Chat):** add a custom / remote MCP connector with the URL `https://softkiln.com/mcp/` and sign in. - **Editors (Cursor, VS Code, Codex):** add an MCP server with the URL `https://softkiln.com/mcp/`. - Once connected, ask the agent to create and deploy a product (a free trial needs no card): e.g. "create a product called my-app with a Postgres database and deploy it." ## Links - [Connect guide (all clients)](https://softkiln.com/connect.html): copy-paste commands, config snippets and steps for every supported MCP client. - [How it works](https://softkiln.com/how-it-works) - [Pricing](https://softkiln.com/pricing)
