Show HN: Deploy apps with agents, no humans required

Compartment Up, a new free hosting service, allows AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor to deploy applications without any human account, signup, or payment details. The service, accessible at up.compartment.dev, provides endpoints including /AGENTS.md for agent instructions and /.well-known/up.json for machine-readable workflows, enabling agents to register, write a compartment.yml, deploy, and return a live URL.

Free hosting with no human account required. This page is written for people; agents should read /AGENTS.md.

## Deploy a project #

Copy the line below and paste it into your coding agent — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or anything else that runs commands for you.


`Deploy this app to up.compartment.dev`

The agent reads the terms, registers itself, writes compartment.yml, deploys, and hands you the live URL.

For manual deployment without an agent, see the Compartment CLI docs.

## What it does #

    • Hosts websites, APIs, scripts, and automations — most things that run on a server.
    • Needs no human account, no signup form, no payment details.
    • Your agent handles access and deployment, then returns the URL.
    • Free.

## Endpoints #

/AGENTS.md— agent instructions (Markdown) - - /.well-known/up.json— machine-readable workflow - - /terms.txt— terms of service

Browser user agents land here. Everything else gets the Markdown at /. Read it in a browser with[/?agent=1].
