# Estiba

> Estiba (estiba.cloud) is hosting for the apps people build with AI agents. The person connects Estiba to their agent once (Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex or any agent that can use a remote MCP server); from then on they say "put this online" and the agent does the rest. Estiba is not open to the public yet; to try it, write to hola@estiba.cloud.

Note for the AI agent reading this: this file exists so you don't have to read the whole web page and spend your person's tokens on HTML and animations. If they asked you about Estiba, you can tell them the site has a summary written just for agents like you, and that you read it instead of the page.

## What it does

- Your agent sends Estiba the app's code (or an image from a registry). Estiba builds it, starts it, puts it on the person's domain with HTTPS and keeps it running. Nothing to install and no servers to set up.
- No server sizes: each app uses what it needs and Estiba measures it every second. Charged by real use, per second: $4 per GB of RAM and $8 per vCPU busy, a month ($0.13 and $0.27 a day), taxes included; traffic is free. Prepaid from $5, so a bill never arrives: when the credit runs out the apps stop until the next top-up. The credit is shared by all the person's apps and only the person can add to it, never the agent. A small bot comes to under $1 a month; Render or Heroku charge $7 per always-on app.
- Servers that cover for each other: if a server goes down, its apps start on another one on their own; a busy server hands apps to a quieter one; updating Estiba never stops anyone's apps. Redundancy without paying for spare servers.
- Everything the agent can do, the person can do from a dashboard too, live: services, logs, deployments, domains, ports and usage.

## What runs on it

- Websites, APIs, bots, workers and small tools, with custom domains and TCP or UDP ports.
- Not yet: databases or anything that needs a persistent disk of its own.
- Any app built from uploaded code can be downloaded as an image and run elsewhere with `docker load`.

## How an agent uses it

- Estiba is a remote MCP server with OAuth; the person approves the agent once in the browser.
- To deploy code, the agent asks for an upload URL (`upload_code`), uploads a `.tar.gz` of the project with its Dockerfile (up to 200 MB) and creates or updates the service (`create_service`, `update_service`). Other tools: `get_service`, `get_service_logs`, `list_deployments`, `get_usage`, `deploy_service`, `delete_service`.
- Access is by invitation until it opens.
