Let ChatGPT deploy your app
ChatGPT can already write the code. The gap is everything after that: somewhere to put it, a start command, and logs to read when it breaks. Add Redon3 as a connector and ChatGPT closes the gap itself.
From a chat message to a running app
- Add Redon3 as a connector. In ChatGPT, add
https://redon3.com/mcp as a custom MCP connector and sign in with OAuth. The token is scoped to your own Redon3 account and you can revoke it whenever you like. - Ask for what you want hosted. A Telegram bot, a scraper, a small API, a landing page. Nothing to zip, nothing to upload, no start command to work out yourself.
- ChatGPT writes the files and starts it. It creates folders, writes several files in one call, sets the runtime and start file, stores secrets as encrypted environment variables, and presses start.
- It reads the logs and fixes the crash. Logs stay readable after the process exits, with the exit code attached, so ChatGPT can see the traceback, edit the file, and restart until it runs.
What ChatGPT can do
- List your panels and read their status and public URL.
- Write and overwrite files in batches, and create folders.
- Set the panel type, runtime, start file, subdomain, and port.
- Start, stop, and restart a panel.
- Read recent logs, including after a crash, with the exit code.
- Store environment variables, encrypted, and list their names.
- Apply a starter template and claim a custom domain.
What it cannot do
- Delete your panel. There is no tool for it, so the panel itself is never at risk.
- Buy a panel, renew one, or spend any money.
- Read back the value of an environment variable once it is stored.
- Reach another account, or anything outside your own panel folder.
This is MCP, not a plugin
MCP is the open protocol assistants use to call outside tools. Redon3 runs an MCP server at https://redon3.com/mcp, so anything that speaks MCP can drive your hosting: ChatGPT, Claude, or another MCP capable client, with the same 28 tools and the same limits.
The connection is included on Starter, Builder, and Pro at no extra cost, and it works on the free trial panel too.
Common questions
- Can ChatGPT really deploy code on its own?
- Yes, on your own account, once you add the connector. It writes the files, sets the runtime and start file, starts the panel, and reads the logs. You approve the connection once rather than each file.
- Do I need a paid ChatGPT plan?
- You need a ChatGPT plan that supports custom MCP connectors. That is an OpenAI limitation rather than ours, and it changes from time to time, so check what your plan includes.
- Is it safe to connect an AI to my hosting?
- The connection is OAuth to your own account and nothing else. It cannot delete a panel, cannot spend money, cannot read back a stored secret, and cannot leave your panel folder. You can revoke the connector at any time.
- What if the app crashes?
- The container restarts on failure up to five times, and the logs are kept with the exit code attached. Ask ChatGPT to read the logs and it can usually see the cause and fix it in the same conversation.
- Does it cost extra?
- No. The MCP connection is included on Starter, Builder, and Pro, and it works on the free trial panel too.
