MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor connect to external tools and data sources. An MCP server exposes "tools" that AI can call — query a database, create a GitHub issue, send a Slack message, anything.

The problem? Deploying one is painful. You need to set up a server, handle authentication, configure CORS, manage SSL, and deal with infrastructure. Most developers give up before their server goes live.

IOX Cloud fixes this.Describe what you want, AI generates the code, and we deploy it globally in seconds. Here's how.

Step 1: Sign Up (10 seconds)

Go to iox.cloud and sign in with your email. No credit card required. You get 3 free projects.

Step 2: Describe Your Server (15 seconds)

Click "Create Project" and describe what you want in plain English:

"Build a tool server that queries my PostgreSQL database. Tools: list_tables, run_query (SELECT only), describe_table."

IOX's AI generates production-ready MCP server code. You can review and edit it in the built-in code editor.

Step 3: Deploy (5 seconds)

Click "Deploy." IOX provisions a database, deploys your server to 300+ edge locations, and gives you a URL:

https://my-db-tools.iox.cloud/mcp

Step 4: Connect from Claude (30 seconds)

In Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client, add your server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-db-tools": {
      "url": "https://my-db-tools.iox.cloud/mcp"
    }
  }
}

That's it. Claude can now query your database, list tables, and describe schemas.

What You Get

Global edge deployment — 300+ locations, <5ms cold start
