a business to run.

Connect Claude, ChatGPT or any agent over MCP. Cloud Canal gives it the backend, payments, email and hosting to build, launch and operate a real business, with you approving what matters.

Bring the agent you already use: Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client.

A print shop's Tuesday, so far

  1. 07:02Three orders overnight. Confirmation emails sent, files queued.
  2. 09:15Answered a customer about shipping to Canada, and added it to the FAQ page.
  3. 10:40Fixed a checkout bug. Previewed, deployed, release note written.
  4. 11:40
    Waiting for you Refund $180 to Dana R.? Order #1042 arrived damaged and the customer sent photos. You marked refunds as needing a human.

An illustrative example.

Your agent can build. Running a business takes more.

It needs somewhere to live. Code on a laptop isn't a business. It needs hosting, a database, backups and a domain, and someone to keep them up.

It needs the parts of a business. Taking payments, sending email, posting to social, answering customers. Each is another account, another API, another thing to wire and watch.

It needs someone in charge. An agent that can refund a customer or change an ad budget needs limits, and a way to ask you first.

Cloud Canal is all three, in one place your agent already knows how to use.

From a conversation to a running business

  1. Step 1

    Connect your agent

    Add Cloud Canal as an MCP connector in Claude, ChatGPT or your own agent. One sign-in, and your agent can see and build your apps.

  2. Step 2

    Build it

    Your agent creates the database, pages, workflows and emails, and you preview every change before it goes live.

    Ready to preview
    • + Page: Shipping to Canada
    • ~ Workflow: On order paid
    • + Email: Order shipped
  3. Step 3

    Launch, and let it run

    Pick a plan, go live on your domain, and your agent keeps operating: answering customers, posting updates, shipping fixes. You approve what matters.

Everything a business needs, ready for an agent

A real backend

Database, auth, file storage and workflows on PocketBase. Every change is checked by the platform, so the app stays valid whatever the agent sends.

You say

“Add a waitlist, and tell me when someone joins.”

Your agent uses
  • save-collections
  • edit-workflow-steps
  • deploy-to-preview

Payments

A store on your own Stripe account: products, checkout, orders and refunds.

You say

“Sell the A3 print for $45 and give me a link to share.”

Your agent uses
  • update-payments

Email

Email from your own domain, sending and receiving: confirmations, notifications and replies to customers.

You say

“Reply to anyone asking about shipping to Canada.”

Your agent uses
  • list-inbox
  • reply-to-email

Social

Post and reply across your linked accounts from one place.

You say

“Announce the new print range and answer questions about sizes.”

Your agent uses
  • post-to-social
  • reply-on-social

Analytics and inbox

Privacy-friendly analytics, and one inbox for customer email and anything waiting on you.

You say

“Where did last week's visitors come from, and what's waiting on me?”

Your agent uses
  • get-analytics
  • list-inbox

AI in your workflows

AI steps inside your automations: write, summarise, search the web and read a page, as part of any workflow.

You say

“Summarise every order note for the packing slip.”

Your agent uses
  • try-ai-step
  • edit-workflow-steps

Your agent does the work. You make the calls.

Approvals

Anything you mark as needing a human lands in your inbox, with the agent's reasoning, and waits for you.

Every release carries a written reason, and the history is searchable.

Mistakes undo

Roll back any release in one step. Restore from backups. The platform rejects changes that would leave your app broken.

Built to earn your stay

  • Export everything, any time: your whole app and its data, as a standard PocketBase project you can run anywhere.
  • Your accounts stay yours. Stripe and your ad accounts are connected, not resold.
  • Isolated by default. Every launched app runs on its own server.
  • Backed up on a schedule, with restores you can run yourself.

What people usually ask

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Your agent does the building. It helps to be clear about what you want, the way you'd brief a person.

Which agents work with Cloud Canal?

Any agent that supports MCP, including Claude, ChatGPT and Claude Code. You connect it once and it can work on any of your apps.

What does "launch" mean?

Going live: deploying to production on your own domain. Each app is on its own plan, and you can try Starter free for 7 days.

What if my agent makes a mistake?

The platform rejects changes that would break your app, every release can be rolled back in one step, and anything you've marked as needing approval waits for you.

Can I leave?

Yes. Export your app and data whenever you like. It's a standard PocketBase project.

What's PocketBase?

An open-source backend: database, auth, files and an API in one. Every Cloud Canal app is one, which is why you can take it anywhere.
