Start in the terminal

Run the exact same bootstrap as the web console, with natural language in Claude Code.


Claude Code is an AI coding tool you use in your terminal or editor. Install the axhub plugin in it and it turns plain requests like "build me an app" directly into axhub commands — so you can drive AxHub by chatting, without memorizing commands.

That means the same bootstrap as the web console's New app (create repo → template code → connect → deploy) can run from Claude Code with one line of natural language.

The plugin takes what you say and runs the matching axhub commands (normally typed in a terminal) for you — so you never type them yourself. Commands that actually change things (create, deploy, etc.) go through a preview and a confirmation first, so nothing runs by accident. See the Claude Code plugin reference for everything it can do.

What you need

  • AxHub account — ask your company's tenant_admin for an invite
  • GitHub account — one that can install the axhub GitHub App
  • Claude Code — where you install the axhub plugin

Install the plugin

In Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add jocoding-ax-partners/axhub
/plugin install axhub@axhub

If the axhub command-line tool isn't installed yet, it walks you through it. Everything it can do is in the Claude Code plugin reference.

Log in

Log me into axhub

A browser login flow opens, and when it's done it confirms your current company (tenant).

Build the app (bootstrap)

Build a new app from the Next.js template. Slug hello-axhub, GitHub repo name hello-axhub.

This one line runs create app → create repo → add template code → connect → deploy in one go. It previews what will be created and runs once you confirm. (Comfortable in a terminal? You can also run axhub apps bootstrap --template nextjs --slug hello-axhub --repo-name hello-axhub --execute --watch directly — the plugin just saves you from memorizing it.)

When it's done you get the app URL. Templates are Next.js · Vite (React) · Astro.

Develop the app

Open the created repo in Claude Code, add the features you want, and ask it to deploy again. Try saying:

Add [the feature you want] to this app.
Deploy what I just changed.
Check whether the deploy worked.

If the deploy doesn't work, ask:

Tell me why the last deploy failed.

How to handle secrets (like API keys) and logged-in user info is covered separately in Develop the app.
