How to Use the Alpic MCP in Claude

Q: How do I install the Alpic server in Claude Desktop?

Open your claudedesktopconfig.json file via Settings. Add the Alpic stdio command or paste the remote HTTPS URL directly into the Claude Web integrations panel.

Q: Can Claude Desktop read my Alpic deployment logs?

Yes. The agent calls getdeploymentlogs to fetch build output. It reads the raw text to diagnose failed startups or missing dependencies.

Q: How do I test local builds before deploying my MCP Server to Alpic?

Tell Claude to grab a temporary URL using gettunnelticket. It sets up a secure tunnel so you can test your local code against live traffic before pushing to production.

Deploy Alpic MCP Servers from Claude Desktop

Alpic turns your Claude Desktop chat into a command center for MCP infrastructure. You ask Claude to spin up a new staging environment, and it calls `create_environment` to provision the URL and isolate the configuration. It handles the entire lifecycle right inside the desktop app. Pushing code to production takes one prompt. Claude triggers `deploy_environment` and monitors the rollout asynchronously. If something breaks, it pulls the raw output using `get_deployment_logs` so you fix the issue without ever opening a terminal window.

Inject Secrets Without Leaving Chat

Setting up database URLs and API keys requires zero context switching when Alpic integrates with Claude's local workspace. You paste your credentials into the prompt, and Claude fires `add_variable` to securely store them in the correct project ID and environment ID. Auditing those secrets is just as fast. Claude runs `list_variables` to show you masked keys for any dev or prod setup. If an old API key needs rotating, the agent executes `delete_variable` to wipe it clean before you push the next update.

Track Performance and Publish

Alpic brings your server fleet monitoring directly into the conversation. Claude uses `get_project_analytics` to pull live traffic data, error rates, and health metrics directly into your chat interface. You see exactly how your endpoints perform under load. Once your build passes all checks, you can ship it to the world. Claude executes `publish_to_registry` to list your project on the official registry. The agent handles the metadata, descriptions, and category tags automatically based on your project history.
