Agent Deploy

Deploy web projects to https://{project-name}.host.neynar.app with a single HTTP call.

When to use this skill

• User asks you to deploy, host, or publish a website
• User wants to put a static site, Vite app, Hono app, or Next.js app live on the internet
• User wants to update an already-deployed site
• User wants to check analytics, roll back, or manage deployed projects
• You are picking up an existing project and need to understand its current state

Built-in versioning

Every deploy automatically increments a version number. You do not need git, branches, or tags -- the platform tracks the full deploy history for you.

• Each deploy returns a version number and deploymentId
• GET /v1/projects/:projectId returns the complete deploy history with version numbers, descriptions, timestamps, and deployment IDs
• Roll back to any previous successful version with POST /v1/projects/:projectId/rollback when that version has a stored source archive
• Download the latest source archive with GET /v1/projects/:projectId/files

This means you can deploy freely, knowing you can always inspect what changed and revert if something breaks.

Project context for agents

When picking up an existing project (or resuming work across sessions), call GET /v1/projects/:projectId to get a structured context snapshot instead of parsing git history:

{
  "success": true,
  "project": {
    "projectId": "uuid",
    "projectName": "my-site",
    "framework": "static",
    "currentUrl": "https://my-site.host.neynar.app",
    "deployHistory": [
      {
        "version": 3,
        "description": "Added contact page",
        "createdAt": "...",
        "deploymentId": "uuid",
        "internalUrl": "https://my-site-xyz789.vercel.app"
      },
      {
        "version": 2,
        "description": "Fixed hero image",
        "createdAt": "...",
        "deploymentId": "uuid",
        "internalUrl": "https://my-site-def456.vercel.app"
      },
      {
        "version": 1,
        "description": "Initial deploy",
        "createdAt": "...",
        "deploymentId": "uuid",
        "internalUrl": "https://my-site-abc123.vercel.app"
      }
    ],
    "analyticsSummary": {
      "pageviews7d": 142,
      "uniqueVisitors7d": 89
    }
  }
}

This gives you everything you need in one call: what's deployed, what changed, how it's performing, and the live URL. Use the description field on each deploy to leave notes for your future self or other agents about what changed.

• currentUrl is the canonical public URL — show this to the user when reporting on the project.
• Each deployHistory[].internalUrl is the immutable Vercel URL for that specific version. It exists so the user can compare versions side-by-side when they ask for it. Do not surface these URLs unprompted — see Reporting URLs.

Quick deploy flow

1. Create a .tar.gz archive of the project directory
2. POST it to https://api.host.neynar.app/v1/deploy
3. On first deploy, an API key is returned -- save it for future requests
4. Check success and deployStatus in the response:
   • success: true, deployStatus: "ready" -- site is live at the canonical public URL
   • success: true, deployStatus: "building" -- build is in progress, poll GET /v1/projects/:projectId/deploy/:deploymentId until ready or error
   • success: false, deployStatus: "error" -- build failed; error contains a summary and buildLogs has the last 50 lines of build output

Reporting URLs to the user — MANDATORY

This is the single most common mistake when using this skill. Read carefully.

Every API response has two URL fields:

Field	What it is	Show to user?
url / currentUrl	Canonical public URL: https://{projectName}.host.neynar.app (always project-scoped)	YES — this is the only URL you ever surface to the user by default.
internalUrl	Internal per-deployment Vercel URL (e.g. https://...vercel.app, immutable, infra)	NO — never. Treat it as an implementation detail.

Rules (non-negotiable)

1. When telling the user a site is live, updated, rolled back, or in any way reporting a deployed URL, you MUST use url / currentUrl (the .host.neynar.app value). Never substitute internalUrl for it. Never paraphrase it. Never paste a *.vercel.app URL into a user-facing message.
2. If you don't have url in the current response (e.g. you only have projectName), construct it as https://{projectName}.host.neynar.app. Do not fetch internalUrl as a substitute.
3. The only time you may show internalUrl to the user is when the human explicitly asks to compare versions, inspect a historical artifact, or debug a specific deployment by its immutable URL. Even then, label it clearly as "internal deployment URL for v{N}" so the user understands it isn't the live site URL.
4. If a future API response surprises you (e.g. an unexpected field, a missing url), stop and ask the user before reporting anything. Do not invent a URL or substitute the wrong field.

Why this matters

The canonical URL is project-scoped — it always points to whatever's currently live for that project. The internalUrl is deployment-scoped, immutable, and infrastructure-internal. Surfacing it to the user leaks Vercel implementation details, breaks the user's mental model of "my site at myname.host.neynar.app", and is confusing if the project is later rebuilt or migrated.

When you redeploy, the canonical URL stays the same. The internalUrl changes every time. Users want stability — give them the canonical URL.

Quick check before sending

Before any message to the user that contains a URL, ask yourself: does it end in .host.neynar.app? If not, you are about to make the mistake this section warns against.

How to deploy

Step 1: Archive the project

tar czf /tmp/site.tar.gz -C /path/to/project .

Step 2: Deploy

curl -X POST https://api.host.neynar.app/v1/deploy \
  -F "files=@/tmp/site.tar.gz" \
  -F "projectName=my-site" \
  -F "framework=nextjs"

The framework field accepts: nextjs, vite, hono, static, or auto (default).

Note: nextjs apps require npm as their package manager. Other frameworks can use anything that Vercel supports.

Step 3: Save the API key

The first deploy response includes an apiKey field. This key is returned exactly once. Save it to a .agentdeploy file or environment variable for subsequent requests.

Check success and deployStatus to know if the site is live yet:

• success: true, deployStatus: "ready" -- site is live, no further action needed
• success: true, deployStatus: "building" -- build in progress, continue to Step 4
• success: false, deployStatus: "error" -- build failed; read error for a summary and buildLogs for the last 50 lines of build output

Response when build is in progress:

{
  "success": true,
  "projectId": "uuid",
  "apiKey": "uuid",
  "deploymentId": "uuid",
  "version": 1,
  "deployStatus": "building",
  "url": "https://my-site.host.neynar.app",
  "analyticsUrl": "https://api.host.neynar.app/analytics/<secret>"
}

Response when build fails immediately:

{
  "success": false,
  "projectId": "uuid",
  "apiKey": "uuid",
  "deploymentId": "uuid",
  "version": 1,
  "deployStatus": "error",
  "url": "https://my-site.host.neynar.app",
  "analyticsUrl": "https://api.host.neynar.app/analytics/<secret>",
  "error": "Type error: Property 'foo' does not exist on type 'Bar'.",
  "buildLogs": [
    "Installing dependencies...",
    "Building...",
    "Type error: Property 'foo' does not exist on type 'Bar'."
  ]
}

Step 4: Wait for the build to finish

If deployStatus is building, poll the status endpoint every 5 seconds until it becomes ready or error.

Note: The deploy response (Step 3) has deployStatus at the top level. The status endpoint below nests it under deployment.deployStatus. Use the correct path when polling:

curl -s https://api.host.neynar.app/v1/projects/<projectId>/deploy/<deploymentId> \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <api-key>" \
  | jq -r '.deployment.deployStatus'

Response when build succeeds:

{
  "success": true,
  "deployment": {
    "deploymentId": "uuid",
    "version": 1,
    "deployStatus": "ready",
    "url": "https://my-site.host.neynar.app",
    "internalUrl": "https://my-site-abc123.vercel.app",
    "description": "Initial deploy",
    "createdAt": "2025-03-02T12:35:00.000Z",
    "completedAt": "2025-03-02T12:35:30.000Z"
  }
}

url is the canonical URL you report to the user. internalUrl is internal — see Reporting URLs to the user.

Response when build fails (may include errorSummary when available, so you may not need to parse the full log array):

{
  "success": true,
  "deployment": {
    "deploymentId": "uuid",
    "version": 1,
    "deployStatus": "error",
    "url": "https://my-site.host.neynar.app",
    "internalUrl": "https://my-site-abc123.vercel.app",
    "completedAt": "2025-03-02T12:35:30.000Z",
    "errorSummary": "Type error: Property 'foo' does not exist on type 'Bar'.",
    "buildLogs": [
      "Installing dependencies...",
      "npm warn deprecated some-pkg@1.0.0",
      "Building Next.js app...",
      "Type error: Property 'foo' does not exist on type 'Bar'.",
      "Build failed."
    ]
  }
}

Important: Static sites (framework=static) often return deployStatus: ready immediately. If any deploy returns building or pending, poll the status endpoint until it becomes ready or error.

Step 5: Verify the canonical public URL

Before telling the user the site is live, verify the canonical .host.neynar.app URL is serving. This is the URL you report to the user — not the internalUrl field.

curl -I https://my-site.host.neynar.app

Step 6: Subsequent deploys

Use the saved API key and the same projectName to redeploy:

curl -X POST https://api.host.neynar.app/v1/deploy \
  -F "files=@/tmp/site.tar.gz" \
  -F "projectName=my-site" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <api-key>"

API reference

Base URL: https://api.host.neynar.app

All authenticated endpoints require: Authorization: Bearer <api-key>

POST /v1/deploy

Deploy files. Creates project and API key if called without auth.

Multipart form-data fields:

Field	Type	Required	Description
files	file	Yes	.tar.gz archive of the site
projectName	string	No	Name (alphanumeric + hyphens, 2-100 chars)
projectId	string	No	UUID of existing project
framework	string	No	nextjs, vite, hono, static, or auto
env	string	No	JSON string: {"KEY": "value"}
description	string	No	Deploy description

GET /v1/projects

List all projects. Returns array of { projectId, projectName, framework, currentUrl, currentVersion }.

GET /v1/projects/:projectId

Get project details with deploy history and 7-day analytics summary.

DELETE /v1/projects/:projectId

Delete a project and its Vercel resources.

POST /v1/projects/:projectId/deploy

Deploy new version to existing project. Same multipart fields as POST /v1/deploy except projectName and projectId. Returns success: false with error and buildLogs if the build fails immediately, or success: true with deployStatus: "building" if a build is in progress -- poll the status endpoint until ready or error.

GET /v1/projects/:projectId/deploy/:deploymentId

Check real-time deployment status. Queries the build system for the latest state.

• deployStatus is one of: pending, building, ready, error
• deployment.url is the canonical .host.neynar.app URL — this is the URL you show the user
• deployment.internalUrl is the internal Vercel URL for this specific deployment — only surface this if the user explicitly asks (e.g. to compare versions); see Reporting URLs
• When deployStatus is error, the response may include errorSummary (a single-line summary of the failure) and a buildLogs array with the last 50 lines of build output
• Poll this endpoint every 5 seconds after deploying until deployStatus is ready or error

GET /v1/projects/:projectId/deploy/:deploymentId/logs

Fetch build logs for any deployment (not just failures). Useful for diagnosing unexpected behavior in successful builds or getting the full log when the 50-line summary isn't enough.

Query parameters:

Param	Type	Default	Max	Description
limit	number	100	1000	Number of log entries to return

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "logs": [
    {
      "type": "stdout",
      "text": "Installing dependencies...",
      "timestamp": 1709380530000
    },
    {
      "type": "stderr",
      "text": "npm warn deprecated some-pkg",
      "timestamp": 1709380531000
    },
    { "type": "stdout", "text": "Build complete.", "timestamp": 1709380545000 }
  ]
}

• timestamp is a Unix millisecond epoch
• text may be absent for delimiter/marker events (filter with .logs[] | select(.text))
• This is a snapshot, not a stream. To follow a build in progress, poll this endpoint every 5 seconds alongside GET /v1/projects/:projectId/deploy/:deploymentId until deployStatus is ready or error
• Prefer the status endpoint for knowing when a build finishes; use this endpoint when you need the actual log content (e.g. to diagnose a failure or show progress to the user)

POST /v1/projects/:projectId/rollback

Roll back to a previous successful version that has a stored source archive. Body: { "version": <number> }. Returns success: false with error and buildLogs if the build fails, or success: true with deployStatus -- poll the status endpoint if building.

GET /v1/projects/:projectId/analytics?period=7d

Get analytics. Period: 1d, 7d, or 30d.

GET /v1/projects/:projectId/files

Get download URL for the latest source files.

GET /v1/billing/tier

Get current tier and limits.
