Jack Cloud

Jack Cloud — Deploy Anything from the Terminal

Jack deploys Cloudflare Workers projects in one command. Create an API, add a database, ship it live — all from the terminal.

Install

npm i -g @getjack/jack
jack login

Security & Privacy

MCP Tools

If your agent has mcp__jack__* tools available, prefer those over CLI commands. They return structured JSON and are tracked automatically. The CLI equivalents are noted below for agents without MCP.

Create & Deploy a Project

jack new my-api

This creates a project from a template, deploys it, and prints the live URL.

Pick a template when prompted (or pass --template):

| Template | What you get | |----------|-------------| | api | Hono API with example routes | | hello | Minimal hello-world starter | | miniapp | Full-stack app with frontend | | ai-chat | AI chat app with streaming | | nextjs | Next.js full-stack app |

Run jack new to see all available templates.

MCP: mcp__jack__create_project with name and template params.

After creation, your project is live at https://.runjack.xyz.

Deploy Changes

After editing code, push changes live:

jack ship

For machine-readable output (useful in scripts and agents):

jack ship --json

Builds the project and deploys to production. Takes a few seconds.

MCP: mcp__jack__deploy_project

Check Status

jack info

Shows: live URL, last deploy time, attached services (databases, storage, etc.).

MCP: mcp__jack__get_project_status

Database (D1)

jack services db create                  # Add D1 database (auto-configures wrangler.jsonc)
jack db execute "SELECT * FROM users"    # Query data
jack db execute --json "SELECT ..."      # JSON output
jack db execute --write "INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES ('Alice', 'alice@example.com')"
jack db execute --write "CREATE TABLE posts (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, title TEXT, body TEXT, created_at TEXT DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)"
jack db execute "SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table'"   # View schema
jack db execute "PRAGMA table_info(users)"

After schema changes, redeploy with jack ship.

MCP: mcp__jack__create_database, mcp__jack__execute_sql (set allow_write: true for writes; DROP/TRUNCATE blocked by default).

Logs

Stream production logs to debug issues:

jack logs

Shows real-time request/response logs. Press Ctrl+C to stop.

MCP: mcp__jack__tail_logs with duration_ms and max_events params for a bounded sample.

Common Workflow: API with Database

# 1. Create project
jack new my-api --template api
2. Add database
jack services db create
3. Create tables
jack db execute --write "CREATE TABLE items (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name TEXT, created_at TEXT DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)"
4. Edit src/index.ts — add routes that query the DB
   Access DB via: c.env.DB (the D1 binding)
5. Deploy
jack ship
6. Verify
curl https://my-api.runjack.xyz/api/items

Secrets

Store API keys and sensitive values:

# Set a secret (prompts for value)
jack secrets set STRIPE_SECRET_KEY
Set multiple
jack secrets set API_KEY WEBHOOK_SECRET
List secrets (names only, values hidden)
jack secrets list

Secrets are available in your worker as c.env.SECRET_NAME. Redeploy after adding secrets:

jack ship

Advanced Services

Storage (R2)

jack services storage create          # Create R2 bucket
jack services storage list            # List buckets
jack services storage info            # Bucket details

Access in worker via c.env.BUCKET binding. Use for file uploads, images, assets.

MCP: mcp__jack__create_storage_bucket, mcp__jack__list_storage_buckets, mcp__jack__get_storage_info

Vector Search (Vectorize)

jack services vectorize create                    # Create index (768 dims, cosine)
jack services vectorize create --dimensions 1536  # Custom dimensions
jack services vectorize list
jack services vectorize info

Access via c.env.VECTORIZE_INDEX binding. Use for semantic search, RAG, embeddings.

MCP: mcp__jack__create_vectorize_index, mcp__jack__list_vectorize_indexes, mcp__jack__get_vectorize_info

Cron Scheduling

jack services cron create "*/15 * * * *"   # Every 15 minutes
jack services cron create "0 * * * *"      # Every hour
jack services cron list
jack services cron test "0 9 * * MON"      # Validate + show next runs

Your worker needs a scheduled() handler or POST /__scheduled route.

MCP: mcp__jack__create_cron, mcp__jack__list_crons, mcp__jack__test_cron

Custom Domains

jack domain connect app.example.com      # Reserve domain
jack domain assign app.example.com       # Assign to current project
jack domain unassign app.example.com     # Unassign
jack domain disconnect app.example.com   # Fully remove

Follow the DNS instructions printed after assign. Typically add a CNAME record.

List Projects

jack ls           # List all your projects
jack info my-api  # Details for a specific project
jack open my-api  # Open in browser

MCP: mcp__jack__list_projects with optional filter (all, local, deployed, cloud).

Troubleshooting

| Problem | Fix | |---------|-----| | "Not authenticated" | Run jack login | | "No wrangler config found" | Run from a jack project directory | | "Database not found" | Run jack services db create | | Deploy fails | Check jack logs for errors, fix code, jack ship again | | Need to start over | jack new creates a fresh project |
