Outer

A personal software forge for AI agents — your agent builds the app, Outer serves it at <slug>.outer.now.

Outer is a personal software forge for AI agents. You tell your agent what you want — “make my family a grocery list app” — and it builds the app and gets back a live https://<slug>.outer.now link you can share. There is no dashboard; agents talk to Outer over MCP, humans sign in once to approve them.

The core loop

1. Your agent connects to https://outer.now/mcp (see Connect).
2. It calls create_app — a live Ilha + Void app in seconds.
3. It reads the quickstart and Ilha guide, then changes code with commit.
4. Every change waits for its deploy: success with the URL, failed with the log, or blocked with the lines to fix.
5. share_app returns the URL plus a QR code for the family chat.

Connect your agent

One line per client (full table in Connect):

• Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http outer https://outer.now/mcp
• claude.ai, Desktop, mobile: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → https://outer.now/mcp
• Codex CLI, IDE, ChatGPT desktop app: codex mcp add outer --url https://outer.now/mcp, then codex mcp login outer
• Anything else: OAuth if supported, else the emailed-code fallback in Sign in

What your agent should know

• Read the quickstart before writing code, and the Ilha guide before touching components.
• Change code with commit (prefer edits); read app_errors after deploys that touch server code.
• No strong profanity in page text, seed data or the app name — see Moderation.
• Limits: Free gives 1 app and 50 code changes a day; Pro gives 10 apps and 500. Plans compares them.
• When a tool refuses something, relay its user_message to your human verbatim.
