MCP

Go live with MCP

Going live puts the project on the APItoGo platform: the portal gets its address, the gateway starts protecting the API, and sign-in and plans work. It is the same as apitogo deploy in a terminal.

1. Make the platform project

Put Books on APItoGo.

The agent calls apitogo_project_create. It creates the project and writes its id into apitogo.config.json.

Plan	When
free	The default; enough to try everything without payment
starter, professional	Needed to sell paid API plans

A paid plan answers with a checkout link: you open it and pay; the agent never pays. Already have a project? apitogo_project_use points the folder at it by its id.

2. Secrets

Paid plans need the project's Stripe key and webhook secret. Set them yourself in a terminal; a secret's value never goes through the agent:

Code
apitogo secrets set STRIPE_API_KEY

Code
apitogo secrets set STRIPE_WEBHOOK

apitogo_secrets_list shows which names are set. See the Stripe guide.

3. Preview, then deploy

• apitogo_plan says, for each service, whether a deploy would change it and why. It changes nothing.
• apitogo_deploy deploys every service that changed: identity, gateway, plans, then the portal. The first deploy takes several minutes; later ones skip what did not change. only limits it to some services, force redeploys them anyway.

A change that cannot be undone, such as switching the identity provider, stops the deploy with an explanation. The agent asks you, and only then deploys again with confirmIrreversible.

4. See what is live

apitogo_status shows each service's state and its addresses: the portal, the gateway's base URL and the sign-in issuer.

When something fails

Every tool answers with the CLI's JSON. A failure carries error and usually a hint with the next step, for example to log in:

Message	What to do
Not logged in	Run apitogo login, or give the server API credentials (setup)
A secret is missing	Set it with apitogo secrets set NAME
Hosting is not ready yet	Wait a few minutes, then deploy again

Remove it

apitogo_teardown deletes the platform project (local files stay), or with only just its gateway, identity or plans. The agent must ask you and type the project's name back.
