Astro
Learn how to deploy an Astro site with Ink MCP using a simple prompt.
Create an Ink account and connect MCP
Make sure you have an Ink account and have connected Ink MCP to your agent. There are two ways to connect:
- OAuth — authenticate through a browser flow, no keys to manage
- Token — create an API key at ml.ink/account/api-keys
See Quick Start for full setup instructions.
Verify the connection
Once the MCP server is connected, confirm your agent can reach it by asking it to check.
Do you have Ink MCP connected?
Create an Astro site
Ask your agent to scaffold a new Astro project. If you already have an Astro site in the current directory, skip this step and go straight to deploying.
Create an Astro blog with a few sample posts using Markdown content. Include a homepage listing all posts.
Deploy with Ink
Tell your agent to deploy. The agent will create a git repository on Ink's internal git (or your connected GitHub), push the code, and call create_service to trigger a build.
Astro builds to static files by default — Ink runs the build command then serves the dist directory via nginx.
Deploy with Ink
create_repo(
"name": "astro-blog"
)create_service(
"name": "astro-blog",
"repo": "ink/astro-blog",
"build_pack": "railpack",
"publish_directory": "dist"
)Visit your website
Ink returns a live URL once the build completes. Visit it to see your app running in production.
Check logs and metrics (optional)
Ask your agent to pull build logs, runtime logs, or metrics for your deployed service.
Check metrics and logs
get_service(
"name": "astro-blog",
"deploy_log_lines": "50",
"runtime_log_lines": "50"
)That's it — your Astro site is deployed and live. From here you can add a custom domain, set up environment variables, or explore more examples.
