# Your AI Agent's  
Deployment Layer

DeployHQ gives AI coding agents a complete deployment platform. Your agent pushes code — DeployHQ handles builds, transfers, and rollbacks. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and more.

Ready to deploy.

AI coding agents can write code — but they need infrastructure to deploy it. DeployHQ is the deployment platform that bridges the gap. Agents connect via the CLI or MCP server, trigger deployments with structured JSON output, and manage the full lifecycle from project creation to rollback. No custom integrations needed.

## Works With Your Favourite Agents

Bring your agent — DeployHQ is the deployment platform underneath.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Which AI agents work with DeployHQ?

Any agent that can run shell commands can use the DeployHQ CLI. This includes Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, and others. Agents that support MCP can also discover DeployHQ tools automatically.

### How do AI agents connect to DeployHQ?

Agents connect primarily through the DeployHQ CLI (dhq). Every command supports --json output with optional field selection, making responses machine-readable. Agents authenticate via environment variables and can access 144+ API endpoints for full deployment lifecycle management.

### What is the DeployHQ MCP server?

The MCP (Model Context Protocol) server allows compatible agents like Claude Code to discover and use DeployHQ tools automatically. The CLI is the recommended primary interface — MCP provides an alternative integration path for agents that support it.

### Can I use DeployHQ without an AI agent?

Absolutely. DeployHQ works through the web dashboard, the CLI, or AI agents. The CLI also includes a built-in AI assistant powered by Ollama that runs entirely on your machine for local help with commands and deployments.

### Does it work in CI/CD pipelines?

Yes. The CLI supports authentication via environment variables (DHQ\_EMAIL and DHQ\_API\_KEY), so you can use it in GitHub Actions and other CI/CD systems without interactive login.

### Is it free?

The CLI itself is free and open source. You need a DeployHQ account to use it — free plans are available with paid plans starting at affordable rates.
