The platform supports static sites, Docker, Compose, and Git repos with SSH-based server connections, and offers a free tier with paid plans starting at $5/month. Appaloft aims to simplify deployment for self-hosted infrastructure while integrating with AI tools through MCP and skill-based workflows.", "body_md": "### Connect servers\n\nConnect to self-hosted machines, VPS instances, cloud VMs, or clusters over SSH.\n\n**A local-first AI native 1 file PaaS.** Start with one file, then deploy static sites, local projects, Git repos, Docker, and Compose apps.

No Appaloft backend or Docker setup is required just to start from the CLI.\n\nMCP is Appaloft's formal tool transport. Connect through the hosted Appaloft Cloud control plane, or run a local MCP entrypoint on your own machine or self-hosted control plane.\n\nBoth modes reuse the same Appaloft operation catalog. Cloud adds sign-in, team permissions, and audit; local mode stays close to the CLI profile, environment, and self-hosted endpoint on your machine.\n\nA GitHub Action can call the deploy path after code changes. GitHub App integration handles repository authorization, environment selection, and deploy status updates.\n\nConnect servers, define resources, bind dependencies, deploy, and check health from the same console.\n\nConnect to self-hosted machines, VPS instances, cloud VMs, or clusters over SSH.\n\nDeclare Web, Worker, Cron, and Job resources with runtime options and ports.\n\nAttach databases, caches, and storage through Resource Bindings.\n\nDeploy through one path with tracked changes and rollback.
