# Publish your first app

Cloche puts the apps you build in chat online.

## Connect your AI

Connect once, then publish from the chat you already use.

## Add Cloche to your AI

Pick where you build. It takes a minute, once.

1. **Copy address.** You’ll paste it in the next step.

   `https://mcp.cloche.dev/mcp`

2. **Add Cloche to Claude.** Add custom connector, name it Cloche and paste the address into MCP server URL. Claude asks to connect it once.

3. **Connect and start.** Sign in to Cloche, then plan your app.

## Publish and improve

Ask for an app in the chat. When it works, ask Cloche to publish it. You get an address under `cloche.cloud`.

Keep improving it from any chat. Each publish goes to the same link, and every version is kept.

## What to ask for

- “Build me a small RSVP tracker and publish it with Cloche.”
- “Put the app we just built online and give me the link.”
- “Add a notes field to the app I made yesterday.”
- “Is my app live yet?”
- “Make a link to my tip calculator that stops working in 7 days.”
- “Who can open my expense tracker?”
- “Take away sam@example.com’s access to that app.”

## What Cloche can publish

An app is one client-side page: HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Cloche doesn’t run server code or a build step.
