Build It Now · April 14, 2026 · Frontier Tower, SF

Get ready to deploy on CreateOS

Your pre-event setup guide. 15 minutes of setup before the event = zero friction when it's time to ship.

5:00 – 8:00 PMFrontier Tower, San FranciscoBring your laptop + an idea

What is CreateOS?

CreateOS is a deployment and execution platform. You bring the code — CreateOS handles the entire runtime layer: containerisation, SSL, CDN, scaling, environment management, and live hosting.

It's built for developers and teams who want to ship fast without managing infrastructure. Connect it to the AI coding tool you already use — Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini — and deploy directly from your editor.

No servers to configure. No CI/CD pipelines to wire up. You push, it runs.

Step 0

Create your account first

Sign up free before the event. It takes 60 seconds and means you're ready to build the moment you walk in.


Section 1 · For developers

CreateOS MCP with Claude Code

Connect CreateOS directly to Claude Code so your AI agent can create projects, deploy apps, manage environments — all without leaving your terminal. Full reference: Integration-Claude-Code ↗

1

Verify Claude Code is installed

claude --version

Not installed? Follow the official Claude Code install guide ↗

2

Authenticate Claude Code

claude auth login claude auth status
3

Get your CreateOS API key

Log into CreateOS → Profile Settings → API Keys → copy your key.

Never share your API key publicly or commit it to git.
4

Connect CreateOS MCP to Claude Code

claude mcp add createos-mcp --transport http \ https://api-createos.nodeops.network/mcp \ --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_CREATEOS_API_KEY"
5

Restart Claude Code & verify

claude mcp list # Expected output: ✓ createos-mcp connected

Once connected, you can deploy with natural language: "Deploy my Next.js app to CreateOS"


Section 2 · For developers

CreateOS CLI

Deploy, manage, and scale from your terminal. Full docs: nodeops.network/createos/docs/CLI ↗

1

Install

# macOS / Linux (curl — recommended) curl -sfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NodeOps-app/createos-cli/main/install.sh | sh - # macOS (Homebrew) brew tap nodeops-app/tap brew install createos # Windows — download binary github.com/NodeOps-app/createos-cli/releases
2

Verify & login

createos version createos login # Opens browser OAuth — no API key needed for basic login createos whoami
3

Link your project & deploy

cd your-project/ createos init # Pick your project from the list createos deploy # Logs stream live. Get a URL when done. ✓ Deployed · Live at: https://your-app.nodeops.app

CreateOS Skills

Give your AI agent full deployment capabilities with one command. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, and 40+ other tools. Skills are modular instruction sets your agent reads before acting. Full docs: CreateOS Skills ↗

1

Install the CreateOS skill

npx skills add https://github.com/NodeOps-app/skills --skill createos

Your AI agent now has full deploy capabilities — create projects, upload files, configure environments, set up domains, and deploy — without ever leaving your editor.

2

That's it. Now talk to your agent.

Example prompts you can use once the skill is installed:

# In Claude Code, Cursor, or any connected agent: "Deploy my Next.js app from GitHub to CreateOS" "Create a new project and set up a Postgres database" "Set environment variable API_KEY=xyz and redeploy"
Browse & publish skills: skills.sh/nodeops-app/skills/createos ↗ — You can also publish your own skills and earn 80% revenue share.

MPP — Deploy apps, pay on-chain

Machine Payments Protocol lets AI agents deploy autonomously using stablecoins on EVM chains. No accounts, no OAuth, no API keys — the on-chain payment is the access control. Full reference: nodeops.network/createos/mpp ↗

01
Request deploy
Agent POSTs source code. Gateway returns 402 with payment amount + wallet address.
02
Pay on-chain
Agent sends USDC or USDT on Arbitrum or Base to the payment address.
03
Deploy & go live
Retry with tx hash. Gateway verifies, builds, and returns a live URL.
# Install the MPP deploy skill npx skills add NodeOps-app/skills --skill createos-deploy # What happens next (automated by the agent): ✓ Skill installed. Requesting deploy quote... ✓ Payment required: $0.50 USDC on Arbitrum ✓ ERC20 transfer sent. Verifying on-chain... ✓ Deployed. Live at https://my-app.nodeops.network

Supported chains

ChainChain IDTokens
Arbitrum42161USDC, USDT
Base8453USDC, USDT
Credit system: $1 = 100 credits. Credits carry forward across deployments — pay once, deploy multiple times.

These are real, useful things you can deploy tonight — tools you'd actually open tomorrow morning.

Productivity

Daily standup summariser

Paste your Slack messages or notes from the day — get a clean standup summary formatted for your team. Saves 10 minutes every morning.

Finance

Personal expense tracker

A simple web app to log daily expenses, tag by category, and see a monthly breakdown. No spreadsheet gymnastics, no subscription app.

Content

LinkedIn post generator

Input a topic or a rough thought — get 3 LinkedIn post drafts in your tone. Built on an LLM, deployed as a private tool only you use.

Productivity

Meeting notes → action items

Paste raw meeting notes, get back a structured list of action items with owners and deadlines extracted automatically. Works with any format.

Developer

Webhook inspector

A live endpoint that logs and displays incoming webhook payloads. Useful when building integrations — no more console.log in production.

Health

Habit tracker dashboard

Track daily habits — water, workout, reading, sleep — with a simple check-in UI and a weekly streak view. Your data, your private deployment.

Content

Resume / portfolio page

A clean, fast, personal site with your work, links, and contact info. Deployed on a custom domain in minutes — no Squarespace subscription needed.

Developer

API wrapper for any tool you use

Wrap a third-party API (Notion, Airtable, Slack) into a simpler interface with your own auth and logic. Deploy it as a private microservice.

The team will be in the room. If you have a half-formed idea and don't know where to start — walk up and describe it. That's what the evening is for.
