Server Compass gives you the same Vercel's UX on a $5 VPS - no terminals, no YAML, just ship. Connect your GitHub repo and deploy with one click. Automatic SSL certificates, domain management, env variables, real-time logs, and server monitoring - all through a clean desktop app. No control panel bloat on your server, no subscription fees. Deploy Next.js apps like you're using Vercel, but pay $19 once. Own your infrastructure & stop paying platform premiums for simple deployments.
This is the 3rd launch from Server Compass. View more
Server Compass 1.42 - Vercel UX + AI MCP
Launched this week
Server Compass gives you Vercel-like deploys on any $5 VPS — nothing installed on the server.
Connect GitHub or GitLab, ship with one click, auto SSL, zero-downtime releases, and rollbacks. 429+ app templates, team access without sharing SSH keys, logs, databases, and domains from a desktop app.
AI MCP lets coding agents deploy apps, add domains, and manage your VPS with scoped permissions. Credentials stay encrypted on your machine. Free to start. $29 once for Pro.

Hey Product Hunt - Khoa here, maker of Server Compass.
I launched an early version here in January. Same core idea: Vercel-like deploys on a cheap VPS, with nothing installed on the server. That listing barely moved. Since then I shipped 100+ releases.
What’s new vs that first launch:
429+ one-click apps (was ~160 from launch) — n8n, Supabase, Ghost, Ollama, WordPress, and a full Linux desktop in the browser
GitHub + GitLab + any public git repo
Zero-downtime blue-green deploys you can watch live, plus one-click rollback
Team workspaces — give a teammate or client access to one app, with expiry, without ever showing the SSH password
Manage from your phone — keys never leave the desktop
Custom OV/EV SSL, Nginx/Caddy UI, DB management, cron builder, encrypted .env vault
The biggest add for this relaunch: AI MCP.
Server Compass now exposes a local, token-secured MCP connection. Point Claude, Cursor, or another coding agent at it and ask in plain language:
deploy this repo / template
add a domain and issue SSL
tail logs or restart an app
provision a database
Agents get scoped permissions, not raw SSH keys. You decide what they can touch. Credentials stay encrypted on your machine.
Still the same architecture that matters: a GUI over SSH. No Coolify/Dokploy agent eating 500MB+ RAM. A 512MB VPS stays yours.
Free to try (1 server, 1 app). Pro is $29 one-time.
Happy to demo a deploy, a team invite, or an agent talking to a VPS in the comments.
