InstaPods
Deploys an app to a live server with HTTPS in one command, with SSH access included.
InstaPods turns "it only runs on localhost" into a live server with one shell command, or one sentence to an AI agent that already has InstaPods connected. Every pod includes a database (MySQL, Postgres or Redis on the $7/mo Build plan and up), automatic HTTPS on your domain, full SSH access, and persistent storage — no separate bill for any of it. Pricing is flat ($3/mo keeps a pod always-on, no cold starts) with no usage or bandwidth charges, and a $10 signup credit covers roughly 3 months on the entry plan. It's a published Claude connector and works over MCP with Cursor, Windsurf or any MCP client, so an agent can deploy, add a database and hand back a URL without you touching a terminal.
What holds up
- +SSH access on every pod — most PaaS platforms don't offer this at all.
- +Flat $3/mo with no usage or bandwidth billing — no surprise charges from a traffic spike.
- +Databases (MySQL, Postgres, Redis) are one command away on Build ($7/mo) and up, no separate bill.
- +Published Claude connector plus MCP support, so an agent can deploy and hand you back a URL.
Mind the limits
- −Databases (MySQL, Postgres, Redis) only come with Build ($7/mo) and up — the $3 plan doesn't include one.
- −ChatGPT's app listing is still pending — for now you point its MCP client at the server URL yourself.
