The integration exposes 10 API endpointsas callable tools inside Claude's chat interface, including ListApps, CreateApp, ListBackendEnvironments, and more. No API keys or credentials are needed — setup takes approximately 30 seconds. The server runs locally via npx and communicates over STDIO transport.
