One platform · Three ways to get your site

A real website,
on your own domain.

Built by us, by you, or by your AI. RunCabin is three doors into the same thing: a professional website that is actually yours. Whichever door you pick - your domain and your leads are yours, always.

Your domain, your leads, your name on it
Live in minutes, not weeks

Door one · Done for you

Stop renting leads. Own what catches them.

Lead sites charge you per lead, forever, for customers who were searching for you. A RunCabin site puts your name, your work, and your city on your own domain - and every quote request lands in your inbox, free.

Leads go to you

The quote form sends every inquiry straight to your inbox. No per-lead billing, no middleman.

Live the same day

See a real preview with your name and city before you pay. Subscribe and it goes live on your own domain.

The extras are included

Branded email, photo gallery with before/after sliders, built-in SEO, a free AI logo, and 100 business cards.

Door two · The AI builder · Cabin (noun)

A real production substrate, not just a generated webpage.

Every time you publish, you're not just shipping a file - you're spinning up a Cabin. Here's what's in it.

Containerized site

Your own Docker container on a managed droplet. Restart-on-fail, automatic SSL, Traefik routing. No shared-platform gotchas.

Private GitHub repo

Every change versioned in a private GitHub repo, AGENTS.md included. Want it outright? A one-time $99.99 buyout transfers the repo to you - clone it, fork it, host it anywhere.

Real Postgres schema

Full SQL: JOINs, indexes, transactions. Plus a document store. The AI uses it so your site actually does things.

Domain + SSL + email

We register the domain, provision SSL, and forward email to your real inbox. One flat monthly fee covers it all.

AGENTS.md baked in

A development contract at the repo root. Tells Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any AI tool the house rules - data safety, commit hygiene, test layout - before they touch your code. Nobody else ships this.

Human in the loop

Email goes straight to the founder, not a ticket queue. Real engineer, real reply. Indie SaaS - you actually matter here.

The AI builder · How it works

Talk to Stony. Get a site with a brain in it.

Discovery → build → feedback → publish. Four steps, ~10 minutes from start to live site.

1

Discovery

Stony - RunCabin's AI designer - opens 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

Stony hands the brief to Claude Sonnet, which streams the site live - HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Postgres schema, the AI agent's system prompt, the image-generator endpoint if you opted in. You see it appear, not a spinner.

First version typically takes 30-90 seconds. Every Cabin ships with a working AI agent wired up, a real Postgres schema you can query, and the Vibe SDK for web programs beyond chat (voting, scheduling, intake forms).

3

Feedback

Don't like the hero? Tell Stony. "Make it darker." "Move the chat to the middle." "Add a contact form." "Let visitors ask the agent for a quote." "Generate a hero image of a tabby cat coding."

Every iteration streams in place - you keep the chat history, Stony keeps the brief. AI-generated images go through a preview pane (approve / regenerate / discard) before anything lands in the page. No more wrestling with a template editor.

4

Publish - runCabin

Hit publish. We provision the droplet, the Docker container, SSL via Let's Encrypt, email forwarding, the private GitHub repo with your AGENTS.md baked in, and a metered AI sidecar so visitors talk to your agent for free - you pay pennies per conversation against your Cabin token balance.

$9.99/month flat. Domain is a one-time pass-through at the registrar's cost. Cancel anytime - and buy the repo out for $99.99 whenever you want the source in your own hands.

Cabin tokens, in plain English

Free to try. Pennies to run.

Everything you ask Stony to do - and everything your visitors ask your agent to do once you're live - costs a small number of Cabin tokens. We pay the model providers; you pay us against a balance. No API keys, no markup surprises.

On signup

450,000 free Cabin tokens

Enough for roughly 6 full builds with Stony, with plenty of room to iterate. No card required.

1 Cabin token = $0.00003 · 2× the Claude Opus input rate, so you'll never get gouged.

After your free tokens

Top up when you need to

Buy more in bundles, or turn on auto-refill from your dashboard (set a threshold + a refill amount; your card on file gets charged automatically when you cross the line).

Pause anytime · unused tokens never expire while your Cabin is active.

Door three · For AI assistants

Tell your AI "put this online." It just works.

RunCabin is an MCP connector your assistant can call. Connect it once in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code - from then on, "make me a website and publish it" is something your AI can actually finish.

# 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."

✓ Live at https://your-bakery.sites.runcabin.com

A live URL in one tool call

Free *.sites.runcabin.com subdomain over HTTPS - no DNS wait, no certificate wait, no payment.

A real domain when you're ready

Your assistant checks availability and price for free, then hands you a checkout link. After payment, registration, DNS, and SSL happen automatically - you never touch a DNS record or an API key. Custom-domain hosting is $19.99/mo.

The AI never spends your money

Anything paid happens on RunCabin's own checkout page, reviewed and approved by you. Tools only ever hand you a link.
