Costs stay with your provider
Your spend is whatever your VPS costs — $5/mo or $500/mo. We don't mark up compute, storage, or bandwidth. Scale up or down on your cloud account; we just keep deploys and routes in sync.
Your VPC · your bill · we're the virtual assistant
No more waiting on Joel
to ship your app.
Connect the VPS you already rent — or spin one up with any provider you choose. We are a hosted control plane and virtual assistant for deploys, routes, and ops; your compute bill stays with your cloud provider. Deploy from the dashboard or connect any MCP-capable coding agent — we manage your servers; you keep control of where they run and what they cost.
Invite-only. No open registration — get an NJ-… code from your operator.

Your infrastructure
Your VPC. Your bill. We're the assistant.
NoMoreJoel is a hosted control plane — not a cloud provider. You connect a VPS you already rent (or spin one up with any provider). Workloads, data, and compute costs stay on your account. We handle the DevOps work so you don't have to babysit servers.
A virtual assistant, not a host
Think of us as Joel on call: bootstrap Docker, ship from Git, wire HTTPS, watch health checks, triage alerts. You don't depend on us for uptime of your apps — they run on hardware you control.
Cloud partners
Need a VPS? Start here — or bring your own.
We partner with two providers we trust and use ourselves. Any Linux VPS with SSH works though — Hetzner, DigitalOcean, your homelab, whatever you already have.
Global cloud
Cloud compute and managed databases in 33 regions. Good default for production apps, staging environments, and managed Postgres alongside your workloads.
- Cloud Compute from $2.50/mo
- Managed PostgreSQL & MySQL
- 33 data center regions
Blue Lobster
GPU + CPU
GPU and CPU cloud built for builders — ML training, inference, render farms, or lean CPU boxes for side projects. Billed by the second, no egress fees.
- CPU instances from $0.01/hr
- NVIDIA GPUs from $0.15/hr
- 250 GB free backups included
Already have a server? Skip this — add it in the dashboard via SSH and you're done.
For agents
Deploy with MCP in three steps
Connect a VPS once in the dashboard. After that, Cursor, Claude Code, or any MCP client can create apps, routes, and deploys.

Create an agent key
Settings → Agent keys. Scoped
read,write, anddeploy— expires in 90 days. -
Configure your MCP client
Add
https://www.nomorejoel.com/mcpwith your Bearer token — see client-specific paths below. - Ask your agent “List my servers and deploy nginx to production.” The agent uses MCP tools — you answer questions in chat.
Use the same URL and Bearer token in whichever client you use. JSON shape below works for Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other mcpServers-style configs.
- Cursor —
~/.cursor/mcp.jsonor project.cursor/mcp.json - Claude Code —
claude mcp add(HTTP transport) or MCP settings in your project - Claude Desktop —
claude_desktop_config.json→mcpServers - VS Code / Copilot, Windsurf, Zed, … — MCP panel or config file per your editor's docs

The backstory
Why NoMoreJoel?
“Who broke prod?” was always followed by “ask Joel.”
Joel was our main DevOps guy — the person you pinged when deploys broke, TLS expired, or a container mysteriously stopped at 2 a.m.
NoMoreJoel is virtual DevOps: bootstrap, Git builds, Traefik routes, health checks, logs, alerts — and now a hosted MCP server so Cursor, Claude Code, and other agents can deploy without waiting on anyone.
Workflow
Git push to HTTPS — dashboard or agent
Step 0: rent a VPS from any provider (see our partners or bring your own), then connect it in the UI via SSH key or password. Run steps 1–4 yourself, or let your coding agent handle 2–4 via MCP.
Connect your VPS
Any Linux box. SSH key or password — we bootstrap Traefik & Docker. Human-only step.
Point at your repo
Wire up GitHub, define build & run specs. Agent or dashboard.
Route traffic
Map a hostname or sslip.io test URL. HTTPS on the host.
Ship & watch
Live deploy logs, health probes, metrics. Agent polls status via MCP.
Platform
Everything Joel used to do — on demand
MCP + agent keys
Hosted MCP at /mcp, scoped sp_* tokens, OpenAPI at /docs for direct REST.
Hosted control plane only
Sign in at nomorejoel.com. We run the dashboard and MCP — not your apps.
Your VPC, your data
Workloads and data stay on the VPS you connect. Your provider, your bill.
Virtual DevOps
Bootstrap, deploy pipelines, route health, metrics, and ops chat.
Git → Docker
Push from GitHub, build on the target host, roll out with health checks.
HTTPS out of the box
Traefik on each server. Test with sslip.io, cut over DNS when ready.
