For developers

Your own server, database, and sign-on — without the DevOps.

Point Cursor, Claude Code, or any MCP client at your croft and ship. Croft provisions the private server, database, HTTPS, single sign-on, backups, and one-click rollback — so you write app code, not infrastructure. And your non-technical colleagues build on the very same platform.

What you'd build

Ship the thing, skip the plumbing.

Internal admin panel wired to your database

A client portal behind single sign-on

Webhook handlers and scheduled jobs

A quick internal API with its own database

A Cursor prototype, shipped behind real auth

An ops dashboard pulling from Stripe and your CRM

A tool for the support team — versioned and reversible

A cron job that emails the nightly report

A throwaway app that isn't throwaway — private and backed up

You can stand up a server, wire in auth, configure a database, set up backups, and keep it all patched — or you can spend that time building the thing your team actually needs. Croft is the platform layer, done: point your coding agent at it and ship. And because the same croft serves your non-technical colleagues too, the tool you build behind sign-on is one they can use the moment it's live — [developers and non-developers on one controlled platform](/how-it-works/). It's the discipline of a proper [vibe-coding lifecycle](/blog/the-vibe-coding-sdlc/) without a platform team to run it. Ready to wire it up? [Connect Cursor to your croft →](/connect/cursor/)

The platform

The platform work, already done.

Croft is the paved road under your apps — a private server, a database, single sign-on, backups, and one-click rollback, all provisioned before your first commit. You keep full control of the code; Croft owns the parts you'd rather not.

Bring your coding agent

Point Cursor, Claude Code, or any MCP client at your croft over the open protocol. The fastest path is the official Croft agent plugin — one step, and your agent has both the tools and the golden path. Build in the editor you already live in.

A real stack, provisioned for you

Every app gets a private server, its own database, HTTPS, and its own address — before you write a line. No Dockerfiles to babysit, no environment to wire up, no cloud console to click through.

Single sign-on you didn't build

Enterprise SSO sits in front of every app at the gateway. Your code just reads the verified user — it never handles passwords, sessions, or a login page it could get wrong.

Secrets and connectors, not keys in code

Reach Stripe, your CRM, or any API through connectors that hold the keys outside your code. Sensitive sources need an admin's approval, with an audit trail — least privilege by default.

Versioned and reversible

Every deploy is versioned and rolls back in one click. Continuous, restore-tested backups mean a bad ship or a bad migration is an undo, not an incident.

No lock-in, ever

It's plain code and a database, not a proprietary framework. Export any app as a single bundle that runs anywhere Docker does. Take it and go, any time.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect my coding agent?

Point Cursor, Claude Code, or any MCP client at your croft. The fastest way is the official Croft agent plugin — one step, no keys to paste. See the Cursor setup guide, or add Croft’s MCP URL to your client by hand.

Do I manage the server, database, or backups?

No. Croft provisions and runs the private server, database, HTTPS, sign-on, and backups. You write and own the app code; the platform layer is handled for you.

Can I edit the code directly, not just prompt?

Yes. Apps are plain code you have full control over — read it, edit it, review a change from your agent, or write it yourself. Export runs anywhere Docker does.

Can non-developers use what I build?

Yes — that’s the point. Apps sit behind one company sign-on, so you give access to whoever needs it. Developers and non-technical colleagues build and use apps on the same controlled platform.
