Give coding agents a safe path to production.
Connect one selected repository and a VPS you own. Your agent can propose a release; Alkimist builds it, verifies health, streams evidence, and keeps approval and rollback under your control.

From agent request to verified release
A simple control loop for small teams and agencies running client apps on client-owned VPS infrastructure.
Agent proposes
Give Codex, Claude, or another MCP client a project-scoped token. It can inspect state, read logs, and prepare a deployment request through explicit tools.
- Project-scoped MCP grants
- Auditable tool calls
- Selected repository access
- No personal SSH key upload
Alkimist verifies
Framework detection, build configuration, encrypted secrets, release creation, and health checks run through the same observable deployment pipeline.
- Build and configuration checks
- Health-gated releases
- Live logs and status
- Rollback target recorded
You stay in control
Approve sensitive operations, observe the release, stop a deployment, or roll back. Your repository, VPS account, applications, and data remain yours.
- Human approval for sensitive actions
- Stop and rollback controls
- Per-account audit trail
- Apps keep running if you leave

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about pricing and how Alkimist works.
How does the per-VPS pricing work?
Plans are billed per VPS you connect — Basic is $5/month per VPS and Pro is $10/month per VPS with AI agent access and faster support. Every plan includes unlimited projects per VPS, with no seat fees and no per-deploy charges.
Do you host my applications?
No. Alkimist orchestrates deployments to servers you own — DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Vultr, Linode, or anything reachable over SSH. You pay your provider directly for the VPS itself, so there is zero vendor lock-in.
Can I add or remove VPS at any time?
Yes. Connect or remove servers whenever you like — your subscription simply adjusts to the number of VPS you run.
What happens to my apps if I cancel?
They keep running. Everything is deployed on your own infrastructure with standard tooling, so your apps are unaffected. You only lose the orchestration dashboard, the AI assistant, and automated deploys.
Which frameworks are supported?
Alkimist auto-detects major Ruby, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, PHP, Java, Go, Rust, Elixir, Dart, and .NET frameworks—including Rails, Sinatra, Django, Flask, FastAPI, Next.js, Nuxt, React, Vue, Angular, SvelteKit, Astro, Express, NestJS, Laravel, Symfony, Spring Boot, Phoenix, Serverpod, and Dart Frog. Other stacks fall back to the universal Nixpacks builder.
Which databases are supported?
Every framework can use managed or external PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, and SQLite, plus Redis or Valkey for caching. Alkimist injects standard connection URLs and framework-neutral environment variables automatically.
Do you offer team or enterprise plans?
Yes — unlimited VPS, team access, an MCP server for AI agents, and priority support. and we'll tailor a plan to your team.
