InstaNode Dev tools (6, 3 write)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • claim_token

    Attach an anonymous token (returned by create_postgres / create_webhook) to the authenticated caller's account. Idempotent — re-claiming a token you already own returns the same payload. For paid callers, the resource's tier is upgraded to 'paid' and its expiry is cleared. For free callers, the resource stays anonymous-tier but is now visible on the dashboard. Requires INSTANODE_TOKEN.

  • create_postgreswrite action

    Provision a fresh Postgres database on instanode.dev. pgvector is pre-installed. Returns a standard postgres:// connection URL that any driver can use directly as DATABASE_URL — no wrapper SDK, no setup. The 'name' field is required (the human label surfaced on the dashboard). Without INSTANODE_TOKEN: free tier — 10 MB, 2 connections, expires in 24h, capped at 5 provisions/day per /24 subnet. With

  • create_webhookwrite action

    Provision an inbound webhook receiver URL on instanode.dev. Returns a receive_url that accepts any HTTP method from any sender and stores each request (method, headers, body, received_at). GET the same URL to pull back the stored log. The 'name' field is required. Useful for: testing Stripe/GitHub/Slack webhooks locally, inspecting payloads during development, building integrations without exposin

  • delete_resourcewrite action

    Permanently delete one of the caller's resources. Drops the underlying Postgres database (or clears the webhook's request log), then marks the row status='deleted'. Paid tier only. Free-tier resources auto-expire in 24h and cannot be deleted manually — the tool will surface the upgrade URL. Requires INSTANODE_TOKEN.

  • get_api_token

    Mint a fresh 30-day bearer JWT for the authenticated caller and return it as plain text. The user should paste the returned token into their MCP server config as INSTANODE_TOKEN (or export it as an env var for CLI use). Requires an existing INSTANODE_TOKEN (or a session cookie, though session cookies aren't available in this transport). This is primarily useful for rotating an expiring token.

  • list_resources

    List resources on the caller's instanode.dev account, newest first. Requires INSTANODE_TOKEN to be set. Mint one at https://instanode.dev/dashboard. Returns each resource's type, token, tier, status, name, and expiry.

What the publisher says

From the InstaNode Dev repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

instanode-mcp

MCP server for instanode.dev. Lets AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue, etc.) provision the full bundle of ephemeral developer infrastructure over HTTPS — no Docker, no signup required for the free anonymous tier.

One tool call per resource type, each returning a drop-in connection string:

(backed by DigitalOcean Spaces)

  • Postgres (create_postgres) → postgres://... with pgvector pre-installed
  • Redis (create_cache) → redis://... with ACL-scoped user + namespace
  • MongoDB (create_nosql) → mongodb://... with role scoped to the DB
  • NATS JetStream (create_queue) → nats://... with scoped subject namespace
  • S3-compatible storage (create_storage) → endpoint + keys + prefix

inbound request

  • Webhook receiver (create_webhook) → public URL that stores every

(Dockerfile + source), get back a public URL in ~30s. Bind any of the resources above by passing their tokens as resource_bindings — the API resolves tokens to connection URLs server-side.

  • Container deployment (create_deploy) → upload a base64 gzip tarball

instant.yaml manifest, ship them as a bundle in a single MCP call. Anonymous callers get a 6h-TTL stack with a live URL on .deployment.instanode.dev — no card required. Cross-service refs (service://) resolve cluster-internally at deploy time. Poll status with getstack.

  • Multi-service stack (create_stack) → declare 1..N services in an

Every anonymous resource auto-expires in 24h. The provision response carries a note and upgrade field — the MCP server surfaces both verbatim so the agent can show the user the exact CTA + claim URL needed to keep the resource permanently. Run claimresource on the returned upgradejwt to get the dashboard claim URL.

Install

Claude Code

claude mcp add instanode -- npx -y instanode-mcp@latest

To authenticate (unlock paid-tier limits and the account-management tools):

claude mcp add instanode \
  --env INSTANODE_TOKEN=<paste from https://instanode.dev/dashboard> \
  -- npx -y instanode-mcp@latest

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "instanode": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "instanode-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "INSTANODE_TOKEN": "<optional — paste from dashboard for paid tier>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "instanode": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "instanode-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "INSTANODE_TOKEN": "<optional>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Continue.dev

Add to your ~/.continue/config.yaml:

mcpServers:
  - name: instanode
    command: npx
    args: ["-y", "instanode-mcp@latest"]
    env:
      INSTANODE_TOKEN: "<optional>"
