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.

ins-table Timezone Overlay formatting.ins-sidebar-item icon flickering issue on hover.Insites is an Application Development Platform that brings together all the tools and building blocks in one platform, allowing you to easily create engaging and sophisticated applications in lighting speed.
The Insites Console is the starting point and home for all the projects you build with Insites. You can manage all your applications from this central location, creating both Staging and Production Instances. Invite your team to collaborate on projects together, manage billing, install Apps from the Marketplace, and find Insites experts from the Partner Directory.
To get started with Insites, follow this step-by-step guide that takes less than ten minutes. We can’t wait to see what you create!
Your journey with Insites starts with the creation of an Insites Console account. Go to https://console.insites.io/sign-up to create your account. After providing your details, check your email inbox for an account activation email and click on the 'Activate Account' link. Clicking on the link verifies and activates your Insites account and opens the Insites Console.
Invite your team to collaborate with you and leverage their skills and expertise to build, support, and improve applications hosted on Insites. To add your teammates to the Insites Console, go to the 'People' tab and select + Invite User. They will receive an email invitation and simply need to accept and create a password.
For each of your applications you can create instances in one of two environments, Staging or Production. Create multiple instances per application to follow your development standards. For example, use staging Instances to develop and test applications, then push to a production Instance.
To create an Instance, go to the 'Instances' tab within the Console and click on the + Create Instance button and fill out the relevant details. To keep projects organized and manage permissions for your team you can group instances together in folders.
You can start your application from scratch or leverage pre-built templates and Apps from the Marketplace.
For many situations, it may be faster and more cost-effective to buy an application and then customize it, rather than build it from the ground up.
To install an App, navigate to the 'Marketplace' tab within the Console and select Purchase on the relevant App. You can install multiple Apps on an Instance, and installation only takes a few minutes.
