Show HN: Brod – Quick cloud to deploy AI apps

Score: 7.3/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

Brod is a self-hosted platform that lets AI agents deploy internal tools over the Model Context Protocol (MCP), providing unified authentication, access control, and hosting to replace scattered standalone apps. It offers workspace management, roles, staging/rollback, and a runtime for server apps, making it a compelling solution for teams building many small tools with agents. The combination of MCP-native deploys and multi-tenant identity is a novel approach with solid technical depth and extensive documentation.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, platform teams
