Build with an AI app on your computer, then say “deploy this to kapaweb”. It already knows how: our public playbook answers everything it would otherwise ask you.
You stay in your AI app the whole time. It does the work; you keep the keys.
Chats in a browser tab — ChatGPT, Claude.ai and the like — can't deploy. They can't reach your files, and they can't use the kapaweb connector, which runs on your computer. You need an AI app installed on your computer that supports connectors (MCP), such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor or Codex.
It runs on your computer. You type your hosting password once, on a page that opens on your own machine — never in the chat. The connector swaps it for a restricted key, forgets the password and keeps the key in your system's secure storage.
Paste this into your AI app and it sets everything up:
Set up the kapaweb connector so you can access my web hosting. First read https://kapaweb.gr/deploy-with-ai/prompt.md and follow it. You have my permission for every step in it (downloading the connector and, if I have none, a private copy of Node.js, and adding it to your settings), so do not ask me to confirm: do it and tell me when you are done.Prefer to do it yourself? Download the connector. Claude Desktop installs it with a double-click; for other apps, unpack it and run node server/index.js --print-config for the steps of your app.
It reads our public playbook, checks what your hosting offers, picks the settings your project needs (like the right PHP version), uploads it after making a backup, checks that the site loads — and tells you the address.
Deploy this project to kapaweb. First read https://kapaweb.gr/deploy-with-ai/playbook.md and follow it.
One public page in plain text that answers the questions an AI would otherwise ask you: folders, PHP versions, limits, databases, SSL, errors, rollbacks. It contains no secrets — you can read it too.

It uses the tools your hosting already has — and keeps a backup before it changes anything.
Uploads your built site — React, Vite, Astro, Svelte or plain HTML — after making a backup, so any deploy can be rolled back.
Reads which PHP versions your hosting offers right now and picks the one your project needs — never just the default. Raises limits like memory_limit when the app asks for it.
Creates a MySQL database and user, imports your data and connects the app. The database password goes straight into the app's configuration, never into the chat.
Installs WordPress and manages posts, pages and media through the REST API with an Application Password — something locked-down platforms don't allow.
Checks that your domain points to the server and that the free SSL certificate is issued — and if something is missing, tells you exactly what.
Reads the error log when something breaks and fixes the cause instead of guessing. Cron jobs, staging on a subdomain and disk-space checks are included.
The setup is built around one rule: the AI never needs to see your password.
The setup page opens on your own machine. The password goes only to your hosting control panel — never into the chat, never to the AI company.
The AI works with a key that can manage files, databases, PHP settings, logs, SSL and cron for your account — and nothing else. It can't open your panel, change your password or create other keys.
Lock the key to your IP address, give it an expiry date, and revoke it any time in DirectAdmin under Login Keys.
The connector can't run commands on your server. Every deploy starts with a backup and can be rolled back.
If your project is one of these, your AI can deploy it to a shared plan.
HTML, CSS and JavaScript — the built output of any framework.
Laravel and classic PHP applications, on the PHP version your project needs.
Self-hosted WordPress with themes, plugins and the REST API.
Node and Python apps, containers, your own services or anything that needs system-level control belong on a server you fully own. We move you up to a VPS or a dedicated server.
VPS Hosting Dedicated ServersNo. A chat in a browser tab cannot reach your computer, so it cannot use the kapaweb connector or your project files. Use an AI app installed on your computer that supports connectors (MCP), for example Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor or Codex.
Any AI app on your computer that can run a local connector (MCP). Ready-made set-up instructions are included for: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex (and the ChatGPT desktop app), Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Cline, Zed and JetBrains AI Assistant. For any other app, your AI follows that app's own documentation for local MCP servers. The instructions follow each app's own documentation. We list an app as tested only after we have run the connector in it ourselves, and none is listed yet.
You type it once, on a page that runs on your own computer, and it goes only to your hosting control panel. The connector exchanges it for a restricted login key and discards it. The key is what the AI works with: the password never reaches the AI, never appears in the chat and is never stored by the connector.
With the restricted key it can manage the files, databases, PHP settings, logs, SSL and cron jobs of your account. It cannot open your control panel, change your password, create other keys or reach any other account. You can lock the key to your IP address, give it an expiry date and revoke it at any time in DirectAdmin under Login Keys.
The one your project needs. The AI reads the versions your server offers at that moment and chooses among them based on your project: its composer.json, WordPress requirements and code. We do not publish a fixed list here because it changes with server updates.
No. The connector works through the file and database tools of your hosting control panel, so you need no SSH, no FTP and no technical setup.
Yes. Self-hosted WordPress on kapaweb supports Application Passwords and the full /wp-json/ REST API. Your AI can install WordPress and then create and update posts, pages and media on its own, something locked-down managed platforms restrict.
Shared hosting covers static sites, PHP and WordPress. Node.js and Python servers, Docker, containers and root access belong on a VPS or Dedicated server. Tell us and we will point you to the right plan.
Of course. If you would rather not deal with any of it, our team can set everything up and deploy with you. Get in touch and we will take it from there.
