# 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.):

```
Authorization: Bearer <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)

```json
// 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)

```json
// 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

```json
// 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

| Type | Description | Best For |
|------|-------------|----------|
| `vcs` | GitHub-connected repository | Production apps with CI/CD |
| `image` | Docker container deployment | Pre-built images, complex deps |
| `upload` | Direct file upload | Quick 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**:

```json
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": ".",
    "i
