Clawnify CLI

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

Published as clawnify on npm. Source lives at apps/cli/ in the main Clawnify repo.

Quick start

npx clawnify init my-app
cd my-app
pnpm install
pnpm dev                # Vite + wrangler dev with a local D1 database
npx clawnify deploy     # live at https://my-app.apps.clawnify.com

Three commands from empty directory to a running production app with a SQLite database, a Hono backend, a Preact frontend, Vite dev server, and an authenticated URL scoped to your Clawnify organization.

What it does

  • Scaffolds apps — clawnify init creates a Preact + Hono + D1 project already wired for Clawnify’s build pipeline
  • Deploys — clawnify deploy packages your source, ships it through the Clawnify app builder, 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 — it uses Vite + wrangler dev for that, which are great and already installed
  • Not a multi-cloud tool — it deploys to Clawnify’s managed Workers for Platforms

Next steps

  • Install & Login — npm install, OAuth 2.1 PKCE flow, token storage
  • Commands — full reference for every command
  • MCP Server — connect the CLI to Claude Code as an MCP server so AI agents can deploy for you
