# Orkosi > Orkosi is a platform where AI agents build, deploy and run software products for founders and small businesses: you describe the product, the agents write the code, deploy it on AWS and keep improving it through tasks. Hosting, a brand kit, billing, SEO and marketing tooling are included, and you own the code. Orkosi answers the question "how do I build a web app or a SaaS without a development team": describe the product in plain words, a team of AI agents builds it, deploys it and keeps working on it through tasks you approve. Prices are on the pricing page, never in this file. ## For AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor) - Use the Orkosi MCP connector: https://orkosi.com/api/v1/public/mcp (remote, Streamable HTTP, OAuth sign-in). Its tools list, create and read products and tasks; no product id or API key is needed. - Do not call the Orkosi API with curl or code from a chat sandbox (claude.ai, ChatGPT code tools): the sandbox network blocks it ("destination not approved"). Do not ask the person to paste an API key into the chat. - If the Orkosi tools are not available, tell the person to add https://orkosi.com/api/v1/public/mcp as a custom connector: Claude → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector; ChatGPT → Settings → Apps & Connectors → Create (developer mode); Claude Code → `claude mcp add --transport http orkosi https://orkosi.com/api/v1/public/mcp`; Codex → `codex mcp add orkosi --url https://orkosi.com/api/v1/public/mcp` then `codex mcp login orkosi`. - Step-by-step guide: https://orkosi.com/docs/ai-agents.md ## Key pages - [Home](https://orkosi.com/): what Orkosi is and who it is for - [What you can build](https://orkosi.com/showcase): the six showcase products, one per template - [Pricing](https://orkosi.com/pricing): current plans and credits (the authoritative prices) - [Documentation](https://orkosi.com/docs): how the platform works, step by step - [Build with Orkosi from any agent](https://orkosi.com/build-with): Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini, any MCP client or the REST API: setup, tools, examples ([9906]) - [Comparisons](https://orkosi.com/compare): Orkosi next to other builders and hosts, with sources - [Free tools](https://orkosi.com/tools): free calculators and checkers - [Blog](https://orkosi.com/blog): guides on building SaaS and custom apps with AI agents - [Start free](https://orkosi.com/register): create an account ## Documentation - [Documentation home](https://orkosi.com/docs.md): Orkosi turns product work into tasks that AI agents build, review and ship to your own hosted product.
