CreateOS Platform Skills

Ship anything to production — AI agents, APIs, backends, bots, MCP servers, frontends, webhooks, workers, and more.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Authentication

For AI Agents (MCP) - USE THIS

When connected via MCP (OpenClaw, MoltBot, ClawdBot, Claude), NO API KEY NEEDED. The MCP server handles authentication automatically.

MCP Endpoint: https://api-createos.nodeops.network/mcp

Just call the tools directly:

CreateProject(...)
UploadDeploymentFiles(...)
ListProjects(...)

For REST API (Scripts/External)

When calling REST endpoints directly (curl, Python requests, etc.):

X-Api-Key: <your-api-key>
Base URL: https://api-createos.nodeops.network

Get API key via MCP: CreateAPIKey({name: "my-key", expiryAt: "2025-12-31T23:59:59Z"})

🚀 Quick Start for MCP Agents

Deploy Files Directly (Fastest)

// 1. Create upload project
CreateProject({
  "uniqueName": "my-app",
  "displayName": "My App",
  "type": "upload",
  "source": {},
  "settings": {
    "runtime": "node:20",
    "port": 3000
  }
})

// 2. Upload files and deploy
UploadDeploymentFiles(project_id, {
  "files": [
    {"path": "package.json", "content": "{\"name\":\"app\",\"scripts\":{\"start\":\"node index.js\"}}"},
    {"path": "index.js", "content": "require('http').createServer((req,res)=>{res.end('Hello!')}).listen(3000)"}
  ]
})

// Result: https://my-app.createos.io is live!

Deploy from GitHub (Auto-deploy on push)

// 1. Get GitHub installation ID
ListConnectedGithubAccounts()
// Returns: [{installationId: "12345", ...}]

// 2. Find repo ID
ListGithubRepositories("12345")
// Returns: [{id: "98765", fullName: "myorg/myrepo", ...}]

// 3. Create VCS project
CreateProject({
  "uniqueName": "my-app",
  "displayName": "My App", 
  "type": "vcs",
  "source": {
    "vcsName": "github",
    "vcsInstallationId": "12345",
    "vcsRepoId": "98765"
  },
  "settings": {
    "runtime": "node:20",
    "port": 3000,
    "installCommand": "npm install",
    "buildCommand": "npm run build",
    "runCommand": "npm start"
  }
})

// Auto-deploys on every git push!

Deploy Docker Image

// 1. Create image project
CreateProject({
  "uniqueName": "my-service",
  "displayName": "My Service",
  "type": "image",
  "source": {},
  "settings": {
    "port": 8080
  }
})

// 2. Deploy image
CreateDeployment(project_id, {
  "image": "nginx:latest"
})

Project Management Skills

Skill: Create Projects

Create new projects with full configuration for build and runtime settings.

Project Types

TypeDescriptionBest For
vcsGitHub-connected repositoryProduction apps with CI/CD
imageDocker container deploymentPre-built images, complex deps
uploadDirect file uploadQuick prototypes, static sites

VCS Project Creation

What it does: Links a GitHub repository for automatic deployments on push.

Why it's useful: Enables GitOps workflow — push to deploy with zero manual intervention.

How to implement:

CreateProject({
  "uniqueName": "my-nextjs-app",
  "displayName": "My Next.js Application",
  "type": "vcs",
  "source": {
    "vcsName": "github",
    "vcsInstallationId": "12345678",
    "vcsRepoId": "98765432"
  },
  "settings": {
    "framework": "nextjs",
    "runtime": "node:20",
    "port": 3000,
    "directoryPath": ".",
    "installCommand": "npm install",
    "buildCommand": "npm run build",
    "runCommand": "npm start",
    "buildVars": {
      "NODE_ENV": "production",
      "NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL": "https://api.example.com"
    },
    "runEnvs": {
      "DATABASE_URL": "postgresql://...",
      "SECRET_KEY": "..."
    },
    "ignoreBranches": ["develop", "feature/*"],
    "hasDockerfile": false,
    "useBuildAI": false
  },
  "appId": "optional-app-uuid",
  "enabledSecurityScan": true
})

Prerequisites:

  • GitHub account connected via InstallGithubApp
  • Repository access granted to CreateOS GitHub App

Potential pitfalls:

  • Incorrect vcsRepoId causes deployment failures
  • Missing port setting results in health check failures
  • buildVars vs runEnvs confusion (build-time vs runtime)

Image Project Creation

What it does: Deploys pre-built Docker images without build step.

Why it's useful: Faster deployments, complex dependencies, existing CI pipelines.

CreateProject({
  "uniqueName": "my-api-service",
  "displayName": "My API Service",
  "type": "image",
  "source": {},
  "settings": {
    "port": 8080,
    "runEnvs": {
      "API_KEY": "secret",
      "LOG_LEVEL": "info"
    }
  }
})

Implications:

  • No build logs (image already built)
  • Must manage image registry separately
  • Version control via image tags

Upload Project Creation

What it does: Deploy by uploading files directly — no Git required.

Why it's useful: Quick prototypes, migrations, CI-generated artifacts.

CreateProject({
  "uniqueName": "quick-prototype",
  "displayName": "Quick Prototype",
  "type": "upload",
  "source": {},
  "settings": {
    "framework": "express",
    "runtime": "node:20",
    "port": 3000,
    "installCommand": "npm install",
    "buildCommand": "npm run build",
    "buildDir": "dist",
    "useBuildAI": true
  }
})

Skill: Update Project Settings

Modify build and runtime configuration without recreating projects.

UpdateProjectSettings(project_id, {
  "framework": "nextjs",
  "runtime": "node:22",
  "port": 3000,
  "installCommand": "npm ci",
  "buildCommand": "npm run build",
  "runCommand": "npm start",
  "buildDir": ".next",
  "buildVars": {"NODE_ENV": "production"},
  "runEnvs": {"NEW_VAR": "value"},
  "ignoreBranches": ["wip/*"],
  "hasDockerfile": false,
  "useBuildAI": false
})

Edge cases:

  • Changing runtime triggers rebuild on next deployment
  • Changing port requires redeployment to take effect
  • ignoreBranches only affects future pushes

Skill: Project Lifecycle Management

OperationToolUse Case
List projectsListProjects(limit?, offset?, name?, type?, status?, app?)Dashboard, search
Get detailsGetProject(project_id)View full config
Update metadataUpdateProject(project_id, {displayName, description?, enabledSecurityScan?})Rename, toggle features
DeleteDeleteProject(project_id)Cleanup (async deletion)
Check nameCheckProjectUniqueName({uniqueName})Validation before create

Skill: Project Transfer

Transfer project ownership between users.

1. Owner: GetProjectTransferUri(project_id) → returns {uri, token} (valid 6 hours)
2. Owner: Share URI with recipient
3. Recipient: TransferProject(project_id, token)
4. Audit: ListProjectTransferHistory(project_id)

Security implications:

  • Token expires after 6 hours
  • Transfer is irreversible
  • All environments and deployments transfer

Deployment Skills

Skill: Trigger Deployments

For VCS Projects

Automatic (recommended): Push to GitHub triggers deployment automatically.

Manual trigger:

TriggerLatestDeployment(project_id, branch?)
// branch defaults to repo's default branch

For Image Projects

CreateDeployment(project_id, {
  "image": "nginx:latest"
})
// Supports any valid Docker image reference:
// - nginx:latest
// - myregistry.com/myapp:v1.2.3
// - ghcr.io/org/repo:sha-abc123

For Upload Projects

Direct files:

UploadDeploymentFiles(project_id, {
  "files": [
    {"path": "package.json", "content": "{\"name\":\"app\",...}"},
    {"path": "index.js", "content": "const express = require('express')..."},
    {"path": "public/style.css", "content": "body { margin: 0; }"}
  ]
})

Base64 files (for binary content):

UploadDeploymentBase64Files(project_id, {
  "files": [
    {"path": "assets/logo.png", "content": "iVBORw0KGgo..."}
  ]
})

ZIP upload:

UploadDeploymentZip(project_id, {file: zipBinaryData})

Limitations:

  • Max 100 files per upload
  • Use ZIP for larger projects

DownloadDownloadDeployment(project_id, deployment_id)Upload projects only

Skill: Debug with Logs

Build logs — Debug compilation/build failures:

GetBuildLogs(project_id, deployment_id, skip?)
// skip: number of lines to skip (for pagination)

Runtime logs — Debug application errors:

GetDeploymentLogs(project_id, deployment_id, since-seconds?)
// since-seconds: look back window (default: 60)

Environment logs — Aggregate logs for an environment:

GetProjectEnvironmentLogs(project_id, environment_id, since-seconds?)

Environment Management Skills

Skill: Create Environments

Environments provide isolated configurations for the same codebase.

Typical setup:

  • production — Live traffic, max resources
  • staging — Pre-production testing
  • development — Feature development

VCS Project Environment (branch required)

CreateProjectEnvironment(project_id, {
  "displayName": "Production",
  "uniqueName": "production",
  "description": "Live production environment",
  "branch": "main",
  "isAutoPromoteEnabled": true,
  "resources": {
    "cpu": 500,
    "memory": 1024,
    "replicas": 2
  },
  "settings": {
    "runEnvs": {
      "NODE_ENV": "production",
      "DATABASE_URL": "postgresql://prod-db:5432/app",
      "REDIS_URL": "redis://prod-cache:6379"
    }
  }
})

Image Project Environment (no branch)

CreateProjectEnvironment(project_id, {
  "displayName": "Production",
  "uniqueName": "production",
  "description": "Live production environment",
  "resources": {
    "cpu": 500,
    "memory": 1024,
    "replicas": 2
  },
  "settings": {
    "runEnvs": {
      "NODE_ENV": "production"
    }
  }
})

Skill: Resource Management

ResourceMinMaxUnitImplications
CPU200500millicoresHigher = faster processing
Memory5001024MBHigher = more data in memory
Replicas13instancesHigher = more availability
UpdateProjectEnvironmentResources(project_id, environment_id, {
  "cpu": 500,
  "memory": 1024,
  "replicas": 3
})

Scaling considerations:

  • Replicas > 1 requires stateless application design
  • Memory limits cause OOM kills if exceeded
  • CPU throttling occurs at limit (not killed)

Skill: Environment Variables

UpdateProjectEnvironmentEnvironmentVariables(project_id, environment_id, {
  "runEnvs": {
    "DATABASE_URL": "postgresql://...",
    "API_KEY": "new-secret-key",
    "LOG_LEVEL": "debug",
    "FEATURE_FLAG_X": "enabled"
  },
  "port": 8080  // Image projects only
})

Best practices:

  • Never commit secrets to code — use runEnvs
  • Use different values per environment
  • Redeploy after changing vars for effect

Skill: Deployment Assignment

Manually control which deployment serves an environment:

AssignDeploymentToProjectEnvironment(project_id, environment_id, {
  "deploymentId": "deployment-uuid"
})

Use cases:

  • Rollback to previous deployment
  • Blue-green deployment switching
  • Canary releases (with multiple envs)

Domain & Routing Skills

Skill: Add Custom Domains

CreateDomain(project_id, {
  "name": "api.mycompany.com",
  "environmentId": "optional-env-uuid"  // Assign immediately
})

Response includes DNS instructions:

Add CNAME record:
  api.mycompany.com → <createos-provided-target>

Skill: Domain Verification Flow

1. CreateDomain → Status: pending
2. Configure DNS at your registrar
3. Wait for DNS propagation (up to 48 hours)
4. RefreshDomain → Status: active (if verified)
RefreshDomain(project_id, domain_id)
// Only available when status is "pending"

Skill: Domain-Environment Assignment

Route domain traffic to specific environment:

UpdateDomainEnvironment(project_id, domain_id, {
  "environmentId": "production-env-uuid"
})
// Set to null to unassign

Multi-domain setup example:

  • app.example.com → production environment
  • staging.example.com → staging environment
  • dev.example.com → development environment

Skill: Domain Operations

OperationTool
ListListDomains(project_id)
VerifyRefreshDomain(project_id, domain_id)
AssignUpdateDomainEnvironment(project_id, domain_id, {environmentId})
DeleteDeleteDomain(project_id, domain_id)

GitHub Integration Skills

Skill: Connect GitHub Account

InstallGithubApp({
  "installationId": 12345678,
  "code": "oauth-code-from-github-redirect"
})

Flow:

  1. User clicks "Connect GitHub" in CreateOS
  2. Redirected to GitHub for authorization
  3. GitHub redirects back with code and installationId
  4. Call InstallGithubApp to complete connection

Skill: Repository Discovery

// 1. Get connected accounts
ListConnectedGithubAccounts()
// Returns: [{installationId, accountName, accountType}, ...]

// 2. List accessible repositories
ListGithubRepositories(installation_id)
// Returns: [{id, name, fullName, private, defaultBranch}, ...]

// 3. List branches for a repo
ListGithubRepositoryBranches(installation_id, "owner/repo", page?, per-page?, protected?)
// Returns: [{name, protected}, ...]

// 4. Get file tree (for monorepo path selection)
GetGithubRepositoryContent(installation_id, {
  "repository": "owner/repo",
  "branch": "main",
  "treeSha": "optional-tree-sha"
})

Skill: Auto-Deploy Configuration

Branch filtering — Ignore branches from auto-deploy:

UpdateProjectSettings(project_id, {
  "ignoreBranches": ["develop", "feature/*", "wip/*"]
})

Auto-promote — Automatically assign deployments to environment:

CreateProjectEnvironment(project_id, {
  "branch": "main",
  "isAutoPromoteEnabled": true,
  // ... other settings
})

When isAutoPromoteEnabled: true, successful deployments from the branch automatically become active in that environment.


Analytics & Monitoring Skills

Skill: Comprehensive Analytics

GetProjectEnvironmentAnalytics(project_id, environment_id, {
  "start": 1704067200,  // Unix timestamp (default: 1 hour ago)
  "end": 1704070800     // Unix timestamp (default: now)
})

Returns:

  • Overall request counts
  • Status code distribution
  • RPM (requests per minute)
  • Success percentage
  • Top hit paths
  • Top error paths

Skill: Individual Metrics

MetricToolReturns
Overall requestsGetProjectEnvironmentAnalyticsOverallRequestsTotal, 2xx, 4xx, 5xx counts
RPMGetProjectEnvironmentAnalyticsRPMPeak and average RPM
Success %GetProjectEnvironmentAnalyticsSuccessPercentage(2xx + 3xx) / total
Time seriesGetProjectEnvironmentAnalyticsRequestsOverTimeRequests by status over time
Top pathsGetProjectEnvironmentAnalyticsTopHitPathsTop 10 most accessed
Error pathsGetProjectEnvironmentAnalyticsTopErrorPathsTop 10 error-prone
DistributionGetEnvAnalyticsReqDistributionBreakdown by status code

Skill: Performance Monitoring

Identify issues:

  1. Check SuccessPercentage — drop indicates problems
  2. Review TopErrorPaths — find problematic endpoints
  3. Analyze RequestsOverTime — spot traffic patterns
  4. Monitor RPM — detect traffic spikes

Security Skills

Skill: Vulnerability Scanning

Enable scanning:

UpdateProject(project_id, {
  "enabledSecurityScan": true
})

Trigger scan:

TriggerSecurityScan(project_id, deployment_id)

View results:

GetSecurityScan(project_id, deployment_id)
// Returns: {status, vulnerabilities, summary}

Download full report:

GetSecurityScanDownloadUri(project_id, deployment_id)
// Only when status is "successful"
// Returns signed URL for report download

Retry failed scan:

RetriggerSecurityScan(project_id, deployment_id)
// Only when status is "failed"

Organization Skills (Apps)

Skill: Group Projects

Apps provide logical grouping for related projects and services.

CreateApp({
  "name": "E-Commerce Platform",
  "description": "All services for the e-commerce system",
  "color": "#3B82F6"
})

Skill: Manage App Contents

// Add projects to app
AddProjectsToApp(app_id, {
  "projectIds": ["project-1-uuid", "project-2-uuid"]
})

// Remove projects
RemoveProjectsFromApp(app_id, {
  "projectIds": ["project-1-uuid"]
})

// List projects in app
ListProjectsByApp(app_id, limit?, offset?)

// Same for services
AddServicesToApp(app_id, {"serviceIds": [...]})
RemoveServicesFromApp(app_id, {"serviceIds": [...]})
ListServicesByApp(app_id, limit?, offset?)

Skill: App Lifecycle

OperationTool
ListListApps()
UpdateUpdateApp(app_id, {name, description?, color?})
DeleteDeleteApp(app_id)

Note: Deleting an app sets appId: null on associated projects/services (doesn't delete them).

Pattern: Multi-Agent System

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

├─────────────────┬─────────────────┬─────────────┤

// 1. Create app
CreateApp({"name": "Agent Swarm"})

// 2. Create orchestrator
CreateProject({
  "uniqueName": "orchestrator",
  "type": "vcs",
  "appId": app_id,
  "settings": {
    "runEnvs": {
      "WORKER_RESEARCHER_URL": "https://researcher.createos.io",
      "WORKER_EXECUTOR_URL": "https://executor.createos.io"
    }
  }
})

// 3. Create workers
CreateProject({"uniqueName": "researcher", "appId": app_id, ...})
CreateProject({"uniqueName": "executor", "appId": app_id, ...})

Pattern: Blue-Green Deployment

1. CreateProjectEnvironment "blue" with branch "main"
2. CreateProjectEnvironment "green" with branch "main"
3. CreateDomain "app.example.com" → assign to "blue"
4. Deploy new version to "green"
5. Test via green's environment URL
6. UpdateDomainEnvironment → switch to "green"
7. "blue" becomes the standby

Pattern: Rollback

// 1. Find previous good deployment
ListDeployments(project_id, {limit: 10})
// Identify deployment_id of last known good

// 2. Assign to environment
AssignDeploymentToProjectEnvironment(project_id, environment_id, {
  "deploymentId": "previous-good-deployment-id"
})

Best Practices

Security

  1. Never hardcode secrets — Use runEnvs for all sensitive data
  2. Enable security scanning — Catch vulnerabilities early
  3. Rotate API keys — Set reasonable expiry dates
  4. Use environment isolation — Different secrets per environment

Performance

  1. Right-size resources — Start small, scale based on metrics
  2. Use replicas for availability — Min 2 for production
  3. Monitor analytics — Set up alerts for error rate spikes
  4. Optimize builds — Use npm ci over npm install

Reliability

  1. Enable auto-promote carefully — Test in staging first
  2. Keep previous deployments — Enable quick rollbacks
  3. Use health checks — Ensure port matches app's listen port
  4. Handle sleeping deployments — Wake or configure keep-alive

Organization

  1. Use Apps — Group related projects logically
  2. Naming conventions{app}-{service}-{env} pattern
  3. Document environments — Clear descriptions for each
  4. Clean up unused — Delete old projects and deployments

Troubleshooting & Edge Cases

Common Errors

ErrorDiagnosisSolution
Build failedGetBuildLogsFix code errors, check dependencies
Runtime crashGetDeploymentLogsCheck startup errors, missing env vars
Health check failApp not responding on portVerify port setting matches app
502 Bad GatewayApp crashed after deployCheck logs, increase memory if OOM
Domain pendingDNS not propagatedWait 24-48h, verify CNAME record
Quota exceededGetQuotasUpgrade plan or delete unused
Deployment sleepingIdle timeoutWakeupDeployment or add keep-alive

Edge Cases

High-load scenarios:

  • Max 3 replicas per environment
  • Consider external load balancer for higher scale
  • Monitor RPM and adjust resources

Monorepo projects:

  • Set directoryPath to subdirectory
  • Use GetGithubRepositoryContent to explore structure

Private npm/pip packages:

  • Add auth tokens to buildVars
  • Use .npmrc or pip.conf in repo

Long-running builds:

  • Build timeout is 15 minutes
  • Use hasDockerfile: true for complex builds
  • Pre-build images for image projects
