Ship static sites from Replit Agent.

Use the Replit Agent to build a static site, then deploy the output to Krexel with one command. Custom domain, AI editing tools, no Vercel.

The 2-minute setup

  1. Build the site in Replit Agent

    Open Replit, create a new Repl, choose Agent mode. Describe the site you want. Agent generates the HTML/CSS/JS.

  2. Open the Replit Shell

    Replit Agent runs in a Linux environment. The shell is at the bottom of the editor.

  3. Install the Krexel CLI

    In the shell: `npm install -g krexel && krexel login`. The login opens a browser, but Replit supports browser popups from the shell.

  4. Deploy the static output

    If the project builds to a `dist` or `build` folder: `krexel deploy --dir dist --domain yourdomain.com`. If it does not, ask Agent to set up a build step that outputs to `dist/`.

  5. Point your domain

    Add a CNAME from `yourdomain.com` to `<yoursite>.krexel.app` in your DNS provider. Cert is auto-provisioned in 60 seconds.

What you can do with it

Design in Replit, host on Krexel

Replit Agent is excellent for prototyping. Krexel is better for production hosting. The two combine: Agent for v1, Krexel for hosting and ongoing AI edits.

Get a custom domain for free

Replit's custom domain story requires a paid plan and is sometimes flaky. Krexel serves custom domains on the free tier with auto-cert.

Add AI editing tools post-deploy

After deploying to Krexel, install the Krexel MCP server in Claude Code or Cursor to get AI editing tools for the live site.

Try these prompts

After installing, paste any of these into Replit Agent to see the deploy/edit workflow:

  • Build a one-page site for a podcast called Static and ship it to static.krexel.app.
  • Set up a build step that outputs to dist/ and configure it for static hosting.
  • Add a contact form that posts to krexel.com/api/contact.

Your key stays yours

Stored in your tool's config. Revoke any time from krexel.com/settings/keys — access cuts off instantly.

Works alongside your other tools

Install in Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code. Same API key works in all of them.

No lock-in

All Krexel tools wrap a public HTTP API. If you stop using any one AI client, your data and sites stay on Krexel.
