Take Your Claude-Built App Live: The Free Skill That Sets Up Hosting, Database, Domain, Email and Payments
A free, open-source skill looks at your app, works out everything it needs to go live, shows you the plan, and only then sets it up on your own accounts. What it sets up, what you need, and how to run it in Claude Code.
Claude Code can build you an app in an afternoon. Getting it in front of real users is where most people stall: hosting, a database, a web address, email that actually arrives, and payments, each with its own account, keys and dashboard. A developer just released a free, open-source skill that does that whole part for you, and it passed 1,000 stars on GitHub in its first five days.
It reads your app, works out what it needs, and shows you a plan with the exact accounts and changes. Nothing touches your accounts until you approve it.
What it sets up
| Piece | Built-in choices | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting | Vercel or Netlify | Creates the project, moves your app's settings over and deploys it. |
| Database | Supabase or Neon | Creates the database and connects your app to it. |
| Web address | Porkbun or GoDaddy | Points your own domain at the app and checks it serves over HTTPS. |
| Resend | Sets up your sending domain so your app's emails can go out. | |
| Payments | Stripe, in test mode | Adds the test keys and the webhook, and checks a test-card payment. |
| Sign-in | Supabase Auth | Signup, email confirmation and password-recovery settings. |
Everything lands on your own accounts: you own the hosting, the database and the domain, not the skill. Using a provider that isn't on the list? It walks you through that one with the provider's own tools, on a best-effort basis.
What you need
- Claude Code (it also works in Codex).
- Node.js 20 or newer, npx and Git on your computer.
- Your app in a folder with its code (a Git repo).
- Accounts with the providers you pick. You do the signups, browser logins, identity checks and any purchases yourself; the skill never does those for you.
- ⚠ It's an early alpha (version 0.1.0-alpha.5). Payments are set up in Stripe's test mode, and a brand-new account's first setup hasn't been tested on every framework yet.
