docker compose up -dgit clone https://github.com/masudranaxpert/NextDeploy.git && cd NextDeploy
docker compose -f docker-compose.local.yml up -d --buildNextDeploy ships a native Model Context Protocol server at /mcp/sse. AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Claude Desktop) can connect using a panel API token and get 18 tools — file_write, deploy, container_logs, env_set, and more — without touching SSH or installing anything on the VPS.
Quick start:
- Open MCP Server in the sidebar → generate an API token.
- Add the SSE URL + token to your assistant's MCP config.
- The assistant can now edit files, trigger deploys, and tail logs directly.
See skills/nextdeploy-mcp/SKILL.md for the full agent skill guide.
- Export — Admin → System → Migration → select apps → Create export bundle (valid 3 hours).
- Import on the new VPS:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/masudranaxpert/NextDeploy/main/migrate.sh | sudo bash -s -- \
--url "https://panel.example.com/migrate/download/TOKEN"Panel writes Caddy labels into .nextdeploy.generated.compose.yml. Add domains from each app's Domains tab — no hand-written Caddyfile needed.
