Take your agent-built product live: hosting, database, domain, email, payments, on your own accounts. Open-source Agent Skill + zero-dependency Node CLI: detect → plan → approve → apply → verify. No GoLive account, backend or telemetry.

GoLive is an agent skill that takes the app your coding agent built and puts it live on accounts you own: hosting on Vercel or Netlify, a Supabase or Neon database, a domain from Porkbun or GoDaddy, email through Resend, and Stripe in test mode. The agent detects your stack, writes a plan, waits for your approval, applies it and checks the result. MIT, free, works with Claude Code and Codex.
It's a Node CLI with no dependencies and no account, talking straight to each provider's API. Credentials sit in plain text files with owner-only permissions, not a keychain. It's alpha: promotion and rollback are only tested against mocks so far.
Solo builders shipping a first app who want the wiring done on accounts they control: try it on a throwaway project first. The repo's homepage points to Tofu, a separate managed hosting service at $9.99/mo, for anyone who'd rather not own the accounts at all.
The catch is the one the README admits. The approval flags are arguments the agent passes for you, and an agent already logged in to your providers can change DNS, email and payments without them. Treat installing it like handing over the keys.
Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid
fully freeFree: The skill and CLI are MIT with no account, no hosted backend and no telemetry, per the README.
Self-hosted: Runs locally with Node.js 20+. The providers it configures bill you on their own plans; GoLive adds nothing.
Related paid service: The repo's homepage, trytofu.ai, sells Tofu, a managed alternative: Free for one static site, Tofu at $9.99/mo for up to 5 apps with managed hosting and one database, Team at $29.99/mo listed as not yet available. Paid plans are early access. The skill does not call Tofu.
Free and MIT. You pay your own providers; the author's managed Tofu service is a separate $9.99/mo option.
What to do by team size
- Solo
- free; test it on a throwaway project first
- Small team
- free, but keep production DNS and payments out of its reach
- Medium team
- Skip it; alpha, and agents shouldn't hold production credentials
- Large team
- Skip it; use your own deploy pipeline
