Brod

Brod is a self-hosted cloud platform that allows AI agents to deploy internal team tools over MCP.

Brod is a self-hosted cloud platform where AI agents deploy internal team tools directly over the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides a centralized space behind a single sign-in where teams can run small custom apps like on-call rotas and stock checkers without managing separate user tables or servers. The platform supports static and server apps featuring JavaScript fetch handlers, SQLite databases, key-value stores, and file storage. It includes built-in workspace roles, per-app access controls, staging, rollbacks, custom domains, and encrypted secrets. Designed for teams using MCP-compatible agents like Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Cursor, Brod runs locally via Docker Compose or through the hosted service at brod.sh.
