Deploy apps from Kilo Code - setup guide

This guide shows how to connect AppDeploy to Kilo Code so you can deploy apps from your agent chat and get a live URL back.

Kilo Code comes as a CLI and as an IDE extension. Pick the flow that matches your setup.

Install via the CLI

  1. Run:

    kilo mcp add

  2. Answer the prompts:

    • Location: current project or global configuration - your choice
    • Enter MCP server name: AppDeploy
    • Select MCP server type: Remote
    • Enter MCP server URL: https://api-v2.appdeploy.ai/mcp
    • Does this server require OAuth authentication?: yes
    • Do you have a pre-registered client ID?: no

    You’ll see “MCP server added successfully”.

  3. Authenticate:

    kilo mcp auth AppDeploy

  4. An authentication screen opens in your browser. Select how to log in: Google, Apple, X, or Guest. Once connected, you’ll see “Authentication successful!”

Install in the IDE extension

  1. Open the Kilo Code tab and click the settings icon

  2. Choose the local or global configuration, and add the following section:

    "mcp": { "AppDeploy": { "type": "remote", "url": "https://api-v2.appdeploy.ai/mcp" } }

  3. In the settings tab, click Agent Behavior, then go to the MCP Servers tab

  4. Toggle on the AppDeploy server and click sign-in to authenticate (Google, Apple, X, or Guest)

  5. Once authenticated, the AppDeploy server shows as enabled

Deploy your first app

Setup is done! In either setup, mention AppDeploy in your prompt and the agent calls it like any other tool. For example:

“Build a Hello Kilo webpage with a global visitor counter and deploy it with AppDeploy.”
