Getting Started with claude.ai
The easiest way to use xhost. No install, no terminal, no token to paste. Everything happens in your browser.
Your console. Once you sign in, your dashboard lives at console.xhostd.com — apps, tokens, custom domains, and account settings. You'll also see it in the docs sidebar.
Sign in to xhost
Go to xhostd.com and click
Sign in with Google. On first sign-in you'll be asked to pick a
username — that becomes part of your project URLs (e.g.
my-site-yourname.xhostd.com).
Add the xhost connector to claude.ai
In claude.ai, open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector. Paste this URL:
https://mcp.xhostd.com/mcp/Click Connect. claude.ai will open a sign-in page — use the same Google account from step 1.
Tell Claude what to build
Start a new chat in claude.ai. Make sure the xhost connector is enabled for the chat, then describe what you want and ask Claude to deploy it to xhost.
Build a landing page for my coffee shop called "Bean There".
Deploy it to xhost.
Claude will create the site, push the code, and deploy it. When it's done
you'll get a live URL like https://bean-there-alice.xhostd.com.
Other things you can ask for:
- "Build me a portfolio site with my projects"
- "Create a REST API for my mobile app"
- "Make a multiplayer game I can share with friends"
- "Set up a webhook handler for my Slack bot"
- "Build a small CRUD app with logins"
Make changes
Want to update your project? Just tell Claude what to change in the same chat (or a new one — the connector remembers your projects). Claude will update the code and redeploy automatically.
You can also share a preview link before going live — ask Claude to "deploy a preview" and it will create a separate URL you can share for feedback.
Every project gets a database wired in automatically — your app
reads DATABASE_URL and Claude takes care of the rest. The
API reference covers schema reset and SQL dump if
you ever need them.
