Clawnify CLI

Deploy internal software built with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) to production in seconds.

Published as clawnify on npm.

Quick start

pnpm create clawnify-app@latest my-app --yes
cd my-app
pnpm install
pnpm dev

That’s it — pnpm dev boots a hot-reloading dev server with a local SQLite database. Use whichever package manager you prefer; npm, yarn, and bun all support the same create-* convention:

npm  create clawnify-app@latest my-app --yes
yarn create clawnify-app@latest my-app --yes
bun  create clawnify-app@latest my-app --yes

When you’re ready to ship:

pnpm deploy             # live at https://my-app.apps.clawnify.com

From empty directory to a running production app with a SQLite database, a typed backend, a React frontend, hot-reload dev server, and an authenticated URL scoped to your Clawnify organization.

Already have the CLI?

If you’ve installed clawnify globally:

clawnify init my-app --yes

Identical result.

What it does

  • Scaffolds apps — clawnify init creates an opinionated TypeScript project already wired for Clawnify’s build pipeline
  • Deploys — clawnify deploy packages your source, ships it to production, and gives you a live URL
  • Manages apps — clawnify ls, clawnify logs, clawnify open, clawnify rm
  • Works from GitHub — clawnify deploy --from owner/repo deploys straight from a repository without a local checkout
  • Doubles as an MCP server — point Claude Code at it and give coding agents direct deploy capabilities

What it’s not

  • Not a framework — the scaffolded stack is opinionated but you can replace any of it
  • Not a local dev server — the scaffold ships with one already wired in, ready when you run pnpm dev
  • Not a multi-cloud tool — it deploys to Clawnify’s managed runtime

  • MCP Server — connect the CLI to Claude Code as an MCP server so AI agents can deploy for you
