Show HN: Ink - Deploy full-stack apps from AI agents via MCP or
Skills
Hi HN, I built Ink, a full stack deployment platform where the
primary users are AI agents, not humans. We all know AI can write
code, but deploying them still requires a human to wire it up:
hosting, databases, DNS, and secrets. Ink gives agents those tools
directly. The agent calls "deploy" and the platform auto-detects
the framework, builds it, deploys it, and returns a live URL at
*.ml.ink. Here's a demo with Claude Code:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6ZM_RrIaC0. What Ink does that I
haven't seen elsewhere: - One agent skill for compute + databases
+ DNS + secrets + domains + usage + metrics + logs + scaling. The
agent doesn't juggle separate providers -- one account, one auth,
one set of tools. - DNS zone delegation. Delegate a zone once
(e.g. dev.acme.com) and agents create any subdomain instantly -- no
manual adding DNS records each time, no propagation wait. -
Multiple agents and humans share one workspace and collaborate on
projects. I envision a future where many agents collaborate
together. I'm working on a cool demo to share. - Built-in git
hosting. Agents push code and deploy without the human setting up
GitHub first. No external account needed. (Of course if you're a
developer you can store code on GitHub -- that's the recommended
pattern.) You also have what you'd expect: - UI with service
observability designed for humans (logs, metrics, DNS). - GitHub
integration -- push triggers auto-redeploy. - Per-minute billing
for CPU, memory, and egress. No per-seat, no per-agent. - Error
responses designed for LLMs. Structured reason codes with suggested
next actions, not raw stack traces. When a deploy fails the agent
reads the log, fixes it, and redeploys autonomously. Try:
