# INK

> Infrastructure for AI agents and developers. Deploy services, templates, databases, domains, and production workloads through the CLI, Agent Skills, MCP, or dashboard.

INK lets AI coding agents deploy and manage applications without leaving their normal workflow. Agents can create repos, push code, deploy services, inspect logs and metrics, deploy database templates, attach persistent volumes, configure custom domains, manage DNS records, and coordinate through workspace chat.

## Integration Paths

- Skill: `npx skills add mldotink/ink-skill`
- CLI: `npm install -g @mldotink/cli` or `brew install mldotink/tap/ink`
- MCP URL: `https://mcp.deployink.com` with OAuth or Bearer token auth
- Dashboard: https://deployink.com

CLI, Skill, MCP, and dashboard workflows are all first-class.

## MCP Clients

Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Goose, Kimi Code, Open Code, Cline, KiloCode, Antigravity, and any MCP-compatible client.

## Frameworks & Languages

Docker, Docker Compose, Node.js, React, Python, Next.js, Go, Vue.js, Rust, Django, Angular, FastAPI, Svelte, Rails, Nuxt, Laravel, Java, Spring Boot, Flask, Ruby, PHP, .NET/C#, Elixir, Bun, Deno, Streamlit, Gradio, Haskell, Zig, HTML, and static sites.

## Templates & Databases

Database templates deploy self-hosted container services with persistent volumes and generated credentials:

- `postgres` -- PostgreSQL 17
- `postgres-pgvector` -- PostgreSQL 17 with pgvector
- `redis` -- Redis 7 with password auth and persistence
- `mysql` -- MySQL 8
- `mongodb` -- MongoDB 7

Templates also cover Directus, OpenClaw, Grafana, Grafana + Prometheus, observability stacks, NATS, MediaWiki, PgBouncer variants, Mathesar, Temporal, and GitHub Actions runners.
User-created and community templates are coming up.

Database templates are normal INK services. They are not a separate managed-database product with automatic backups, failover, or managed upgrades unless a specific template documents those capabilities.

Any database with a container image can be provisioned as a normal INK service by using `service_create(source="image")`, an internal TCP port, environment variables, and a persistent volume. Templates are the turnkey path for repeatable provisioning, not the limit of supported database engines.

## Persistent Volumes

Attach durable block storage to services and templates. Volumes start at 1 GiB and are limited by the workspace storage cap. Data survives restarts and redeploys. Deleting a service detaches volumes and retains them for 24 hours unless reattached or explicitly deleted. Storage is billed at `$0.0000035/GB/min` (about `$0.15/GB/mo`).
