Volcano docs
Build AI agents and modern applications with the platform for the AI era, fully integrated with your agentic coding tools.
Functions, frontends, databases, and the rest of the platform are documented under Platform.
The same docs are in your terminal with volcano docs.
For step-by-step recipes you can build, explore the Cookbooks.
For application design ideas and practical perspectives, visit the Blog.
Quick start
Install the CLI, sign up, create a project, and start building.
Volcano CLI
Deploy and manage functions, frontends, and databases from your terminal or CI.
Volcano API
Do everything the dashboard does over HTTP, with an OpenAPI spec to generate clients.
MCP server
Connect your coding agent to a project to read its deployments and logs, and change it.
Agent skills
Install Volcano skills and plugins for your coding agent.
Get started with IDE
Connect your agent over MCP
Your coding agent can inspect a project's functions, deployments, and logs, and change it with a full-scope token. Create a project access token, export it, and add the server to your client.
export VOLCANO_PROJECT_TOKEN=pt-your-project-access-tokenStart your agent from that shell. Editors such as Cursor and VS Code read the variable from the environment they were launched in, so quit the editor fully and reopen it from the shell, for example with cursor . or code .. Exporting it in the editor's own terminal is not enough.
