HCode showcase

Built on HCode,
by the people who run it.

Our own team builds on HCode too. These are a few of the tools and games they have shipped. Every one is live on its own hcode.site address, on the same platform you deploy to, from GitHub, a .zip or straight from your AI assistant.

AI connectors

From a prompt to a live app.

You do not need to open a dashboard to ship like this. Add the HCode connector to your AI assistant and it can create the project, deploy the code, attach a database and point your domain, all from the conversation.

How it works (opens in new tab)

Add HCode to Claude Code

The HCode plugin adds the server and teaches Claude how HCode works.

Paste these into Claude Code.
Run /mcp, pick plugin:hcode:hcode and sign in to HCode.

/plugin marketplace add https://hcode.hostafrica.com/docs/mcp/plugin/marketplace.json
/plugin install hcode@hostafrica

Also adds the /hcode:deploy command. If you added HCode to Claude Code by hand before, remove it first with claude mcp remove hcode.

Add HCode to ChatGPT

In ChatGPT, open Plugins, choose +, then Add custom MCP server.
Paste this address, then sign in to HCode.

Copy address and open ChatGPT (opens in new tab)

Needs a ChatGPT plan that allows custom MCP servers.
