Quote requests go to your inbox, free

Lead sites bill you for every customer who was already searching for you. A RunCabin site puts your name, your work and your town on your own domain, and the quote form emails you directly.

Leads go to you
The quote form sends every inquiry to your email. Nobody bills you per lead.
First version in 24 hours
Answer our questionnaire and send your photos. It's built with AI, finished by a web developer, and you'll see your first version within 24 hours.
Written to your state's rules
We write your site to follow your state's advertising rules for your industry. In Maryland, an assisted living home can't describe its care as "nursing", so your site won't.
What's included
Your own domain, the quote form, a photo gallery, a map, links to your social pages, and hosting.

What the AI builder publishes

We call each site a Cabin: its own container, database, GitHub repo and AI agent.

How the AI builder works

You talk, Cobble builds, you ask for changes, and you publish when you like it.

  1. Discovery

    Cobble, RunCabin's AI designer, starts with a short conversation. "Tell me about your business. What does your customer need help with at 2am when you're asleep?"

    He'll suggest the right kind of AI agent for your vertical: a 24/7 booking concierge for a salon, a menu Q&A bot for a restaurant, an image-generator for a photographer or Etsy seller, an intake bot for a contractor. Type a clear brief and he skips the questions and builds. Pick a quickstart chip and he uses sensible defaults.

  2. Build

    Cobble builds the site with Claude Opus 5.5, and you watch the pages appear: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, the Postgres schema and your AI agent's instructions.

    Every Cabin comes with a working AI agent, a Postgres schema you can query, and the Vibe SDK for things like voting, scheduling and intake forms.

  3. Feedback

    Don't like the hero? Tell Cobble. "Make it darker." "Move the chat to the middle." "Add a contact form." "Generate a hero image of a tabby cat coding."

    Each change shows up in place, and Cobble keeps the whole conversation. Generated images wait in a preview pane until you approve, regenerate or discard them.

  4. Publish

    When you publish, we set up the server, SSL, email forwarding and a private GitHub repo with your AGENTS.md. Visitors talk to your agent for free; each conversation costs you a cent or two from your Cabin token balance.

    Publishing is $9.99 a month. The domain is billed once at the registrar's price. You can cancel anytime, and buy the repo with a one-time buyout whenever you want the source.


Cabin tokens

250,000 freeCabin tokens on signup, enough for a first build and some changes. No card required.

1 Cabin token = $0.00003, twice the Claude Opus input rate.

Everything you ask Cobble, and everything your visitors ask your agent once you're live, costs a few Cabin tokens. We pay the model providers and you pay us from a balance, so you never need an API key.

After the free grant, buy more in bundles or turn on auto-refill from your dashboard (set a threshold and a refill amount; your card on file gets charged automatically when you cross the line). You can pause anytime, and unused tokens never expire while your Cabin is active.

The easiest way to connect and manage your website with AI. RunCabin is an MCP connector. Add it once in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code, and "make me a website and publish it" ends with a live site. See what an agent can do on RunCabin.

# connect once (Claude Code)

claude mcp add --transport http runcabin https://runcabin.com/mcp

# then, in any conversation

"Make me a one-page site for my bakery and put it online."

  • A live URL in one tool call

    Free *.sites.runcabin.com subdomain over HTTPS, live right away.
