GETTING STARTED

Deploy your first AI-built app with productecho

Connect productecho to your AI agent, build your application, provision its runtime, and get a live HTTPS URL — without manually configuring infrastructure.

Overview

From prompt to production

productecho gives your AI agent the infrastructure it needs to turn generated code into a running application. Once the MCP server is connected, your agent can work with productecho directly from the conversation.

Before you start

Prerequisites

An AI agent that supports MCP, such as Claude or Cursor.
A productecho API key.
Node.js / npx available on the machine running the MCP client.
STEP 01

Connect productecho to your agent

Start by adding the productecho MCP server to your agent's MCP configuration. This gives the agent access to productecho's deployment capabilities.

MCP configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "productecho": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://api.productecho.com/mcp",
        "--header",
        "PRODUCT-ECHO-API-KEY: YOUR_API_KEY"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Keep your API key private

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your productecho API key. Never commit credentials to a public repository.

After saving the configuration, restart or reload your MCP client so it can discover the productecho server.

STEP 02

Ask your agent to build your app

Once productecho is connected, use your normal AI coding workflow. Describe what you want to build and let your agent generate the application.

Example prompt
Build a customer management app with a PostgreSQL database. Include authentication, customer CRUD, and a dashboard.

The exact prompt is up to you. productecho is designed to sit underneath your existing AI coding workflow rather than replace it.

STEP 03

Ask productecho to provision the runtime

When your application is ready to run, ask your agent to provision the runtime through productecho.

Runtime provisioning

productecho handles the infrastructure and database setup required by the application. Connection details can be injected into the runtime automatically.

Infrastructure provisioned
STEP 04

Get your live HTTPS URL

Once the runtime is ready, productecho provides a public HTTPS URL for your application. No manual DNS or SSL configuration is required.

DEPLOYMENT COMPLETE
Your application is live
Troubleshooting

If your agent can't connect

MCP server is not appearing

Check that the configuration was saved correctly and restart your MCP client.

Authentication fails

Verify that PRODUCT-ECHO-API-KEY is present and that the API key is valid.

The application is not live yet

Check the agent's deployment output and wait for runtime provisioning to complete.

Keep building

What's next?

Once your first application is running, you can continue iterating through your AI agent and use productecho as the deployment runtime underneath it.
