Deploy, manage, and interact with your Insites instances directly from Claude Desktop — no CLI installation or browser login required.
CloudShell is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects Claude Desktop to your live Insites instances over HTTP. It gives you a direct bridge between your AI assistant and your Insites environment, so you can deploy files, manage environment variables, check logs, and more - all from a single conversational interface.
Traditional Insites development workflows require switching between terminal commands, browser tabs, and deployment tools. CloudShell removes that friction. With a single connection, Claude can read from and write to your instance without you ever leaving the conversation.
This is particularly useful for:
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Sync files | Push a single file to your instance immediately |
| Deploy | Batch deploy multiple files in one operation |
| View logs | Fetch instance logs for debugging |
| Manage environment variables | List, add, or update env vars |
| List modules | See which modules are installed on your instance |
CloudShell connects via a single endpoint and authenticates using your Insites console credentials passed as HTTP headers. Once configured in Claude Desktop, your AI assistant has direct access to your instance - no additional software to install.
For full setup instructions and tool reference, see the CloudShell documentation.
