Deploy and monitoring · by DeploCloud (Kevin Paratore)
Deplo
Open-source deployment software you install on your own Linux server: it builds Git repos, Docker images or Compose files into containers behind a reverse proxy with automatic HTTPS, with push-to-deploy, pull-request previews, rollbacks, managed databases, backups and role-based team access.
You get a Vercel- or Heroku-style push-to-deploy workflow on a server you already pay for, with no per-seat or usage bill for the platform itself.

For your agent
- Turn on MCP per team in Settings -> MCP Server, create a scoped API token and paste the shown config into the agent; web agents (claude.ai, chatgpt.com) use the OAuth consent screen instead. Every deplo.build page has a Markdown twin (.md).
- AGPL-3.0: if you modify Deplo and offer it to others over a network, you must publish your changes
- Beta software; MCP server is marked beta and 'not recommended for production'
- Give agents tokens with the narrowest capabilities and an expiry
