Static hosting a coding agent can drive end to end

Novence launched a static-site hosting service that lets coding agents deploy a site end to end via a single command, `npx novence deploy ./dist`, which uploads files, publishes, and prints the live URL at `https://{suffix}.novence.ai`. The service offers TypeScript and Python SDKs, an MCP endpoint at https://api.novence.ai/mcp for clients including Claude and Cursor, plus REST and GraphQL APIs, with a demo showing an agent building and deploying a site in 75 seconds. Agents bootstrap an API key via email without waiting for OTP verification, and a Pro plan upgrade is required after the first live URL or a second project returns HTTP 402.

CLI #

npx novence deploy ./dist β€” upload, check, publish, print the live URL. No install.

novence.ai Β· static sites for agents

npx novence deploy ./dist β€” or the TypeScript and Python SDKs, MCP, REST, or GraphQL. Live at https://{suffix}.novence.ai.

$ # One command. Prints the live URL. No email until you claim.
npx novence deploy ./dist



URL=$(npx novence deploy ./dist)
bash
$ curl -s -X POST https://api.novence.ai/v1/bootstrap \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"email":"you@example.com"}'
$ # 1) bootstrap  2) project  3) upload  4) deploy β†’ live URL

export KEY=nv_live_…
export API=https://api.novence.ai

curl -s -X POST $API/v1/projects \
  -H "authorization: Bearer $KEY" -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"name":"launch"}'

$ # MCP (streamable HTTP) β€” no nv_ key first. Same session.
https://api.novence.ai/mcp

js
$ import { Novence, bootstrapAccount, verifyEmail } from "@novence/sdk";

const { apiKey } = await bootstrapAccount("you@example.com");
const client = new Novence({ apiKey }); // defaults to https://api.novence.ai
const { project, url } = await client.projects.create({ name: "launch" });
await client.files.uploadDir(project.id, "./site");
await client.deployments.create(project.id);
// url β†’ https://{suffix}.novence.ai/  (trial may skip checks β€” still live)

// AFTER the live URL:
await verifyEmail("you@example.com", process.env.VERIFY_CODE!);
python
$ pip install novence

from novence import Novence, bootstrap_account, verify_email

boot = bootstrap_account("you@example.com")
client = Novence(api_key=boot["apiKey"])
project = client.create_project("launch")
pid = project["project"]["id"]
client.upload_dir(pid, "./dist")
client.deploy(pid)
print(client.wait_for_deployment(pid)["liveUrl"])

verify_email("you@example.com", "123456")
$ # Recurring β€” MCP checkout(plan=pro) or REST:
curl -s -X POST https://api.novence.ai/v1/billing/checkout \
  -H "authorization: Bearer $KEY" -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"plan":"pro"}'

curl -i -X POST https://api.novence.ai/v1/billing/mpp \
  -H "authorization: Bearer $KEY" -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"plan":"pro"}'

Watch

An agent builds a static site, bootstraps a key, deploys, and lands on https://{suffix}.novence.ai. 75 seconds, no cuts to a dashboard.

Automate your workflow Β· Start today

npm install @novence/sdk or pip install novence. Typed clients over the same plane.

Streamable HTTP tools for Claude, Cursor, and any MCP client at /mcp.

For agents

Fastest: npx novence deploy. Or the SDKs. Raw REST below.

Use HTTPS β€” Canonical API https://api.novence.ai. Auth is Bearer nv_live_…. Lost key? Resend OTP then POST /v1/auth/reissue-key.

POST /v1/bootstrap returns an API key immediately. Do not wait for OTP β€” unverified trial still publishes.

Create a project, upload static website, deploy. Live URL is https://{suffix}.novence.ai/. Checks may be skipped on trial; still live.

Ask for the 6-digit OTP and POST /v1/auth/verify-email to unlock Free quotas. Required before Checkout or full free quotas.

CNAME www β†’ fallback.novence.ai; apex URL-redirect to www. Checkout: POST /v1/billing/checkout. Agents: POST /v1/billing/mpp.

Agent loop

create_project

Bootstrap an account key, then open a project with a unique suffix.

β†’ projectId + upload session

Custom domains

Point www at Novence with a CNAME. Send bare-domain visitors to www with a registrar URL redirect. That is the recommended path for SSL and apex visitors.

Type Host Value
CNAME www fallback.novence.ai
URL redirect @ https://www.example.com/

What ships

Streamable HTTP MCP for projects, uploads, deploys, domains, and quotas. Errors tell the agent what to fix.

#1 MCP Check workers run Lighthouse, axe, and link checks. Failed deploys stay off live until thresholds pass.

#2 Checks Static sites are served globally at https://{suffix}.novence.ai/ after checks pass.

#3 Edge npx novence, npm install @novence/sdk, or pip install novence. Same plane as REST, GraphQL, and MCP.

#4 APIs Opt-in pageviews, 404s, referrers, and countries from the edge. No cookies, no script in your HTML. Read via dashboard, API or MCP.

#5 Analytics Projects, storage, bandwidth, deploys, and form submissions are capped per plan. Overages meter on Pro and Scale.

#6 Quotas HTML, CSS, and JS marketing sites. Embed Cal.com, Snipcart, or GA. Ship /data/*.json for menus and hours. No server-side apps.

#7 Scope Free Β· Pro Β· Scale

Free for one live site. Pro for twenty client pitches. Scale when you're running a studio. Paid plans include a large pool before anything extra hits the invoice β€” see examples and for agencies.

Selected: Pro ($29 / mo)

After verify: MCP checkout or REST POST https://api.novence.ai/v1/billing/checkout with Bearer key and { "plan": "pro" }. Opens Stripe Checkout. Use after a 2nd project or a 402. billing_portal is manage-only once already on Pro.

Same monthly subscription via Machine Payments Protocol: POST https://api.novence.ai/v1/billing/mpp. Returns HTTP 402, then settle with a Payment credential (e.g. link-cli). First month charged via SPT; renews until cancelled.
