How do I install Netrun?

Clone Netrun from https://github.com/fadeynotchenko/netrun-mcp and configure it as an MCP server in your client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code).

Is Netrun open source?

Yes, Netrun is open source under the MIT license. Source code is available at https://github.com/fadeynotchenko/netrun-mcp.

What category does Netrun belong to?

Netrun is listed under Other MCP servers on MCPFind.

Netrun — MCP Server for Other

netrun-mcp

Publish websites and Telegram bots to Netrun — upload a folder from your editor, get a URL.

Connect Netrun to your AI editor and just ask: “publish this bot”. The agent uploads your code folder and sends back the link

Publish this bot to Netrun

I fixed the greeting — update the project

Why is the bot silent? Check the logs

Change the bot token and restart

Setup (one minute)

Sign in at netrun.io → MCP (https://netrun.io/mcp) → create an access key.
Connect your editor. The MCP page gives you a ready button or command with the key already inside; the generic form is:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "netrun": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "netrun-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "NETRUN_API_KEY": "nru_…"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor — click Add to Cursor on the MCP page, or put the JSON above into ~/.cursor/mcp.json.
Claude Code — claude mcp add netrun -s user -e NETRUN_API_KEY=nru_… -- npx -y netrun-mcp
Codex — codex mcp add netrun --env NETRUN_API_KEY=nru_… -- npx -y netrun-mcp
Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf — the JSON above in the MCP servers config.

Node.js has to be installed — AI editors usually ship with it.

What the agent can do

Tool	What it does
`netrun_publish`	Uploads a project folder and puts it online — a new project or a new version of an existing one. Detects the stack (Python, Node, Go, Rust, PHP, static HTML, Docker, docker-compose), asks for missing secrets, waits for the build and returns the URL or the failure reason.
`netrun_status`	Is the project running, its URL, what blocks it and why the last publish failed.
`netrun_logs`	Last lines of the application output — the first place to look when a bot goes silent.
`netrun_set_secrets`	Saves tokens and API keys as environment variables (stored encrypted) and re-publishes so the app picks them up.
`netrun_control`	Start, stop or restart a project.
`netrun_list_projects`	All projects of the account with URLs and state.
`netrun_whoami`	The plan, how many projects are available and how much free running time bots have left.

What it deliberately cannot do

The agent cannot pay, renew a plan or buy places — you do that in the dashboard.
It cannot delete projects or files from persistent storage either — anything irreversible stays with you.
If the code needs a token or a password, the agent asks you before publishing — it never makes values up.
The access key lives only in your editor config; you can revoke it in the dashboard at any time.

How it works

This package is a thin courier: it zips the folder (honouring .gitignore), sends it to the Netrun API with your key, and asks for status and logs. Building, running, HTTPS and addresses all happen on Netrun.

Environment variables: NETRUN_API_KEY (required), NETRUN_API_URL (default https://api.netrun.io/v1), NETRUN_APP_URL (default https://netrun.io).
