Ink Plugin for Claude Code

Deploy and manage services on Ink directly from Claude Code. No MCP server required — Claude talks to the Ink GraphQL API using curl.

Install

/plugin marketplace add mldotink/claude-code-ink
/plugin install ink

Or test locally:

claude --plugin-dir /path/to/claude-code-ink

Setup

1. Get an API key from https://ml.ink → Settings → API Keys
2. Set it in your environment:

export INK_API_KEY=dk_live_...

Skills

Skill	Description
/ink:deploy	Deploy the current project to Ink
/ink:status	Check services, logs, metrics, billing
/ink:troubleshoot	Debug a failing deployment

Claude also has background knowledge of the full Ink GraphQL API (ink-api skill), so you can ask it anything — "list my services", "show me build logs for X", "what's my current bill" — and it will make the right API calls.

How it works

The plugin teaches Claude the Ink GraphQL API:

• Endpoint: POST https://api.ml.ink/graphql
• Auth: Authorization: Bearer $INK_API_KEY
• Schema discovery: Claude can introspect the schema at any time to discover or verify operations

No binary, no runtime, no MCP server. Claude uses curl + jq to call the API directly. The skills provide workflow guidance for common tasks (deploying, debugging), while the API reference skill gives Claude the full schema knowledge to handle any request.

Quick start

> /ink:deploy

Claude analyzes your project, detects the stack, creates a service on Ink, and deploys it.

> show me the runtime logs for my-api

Claude calls the GraphQL API and shows you the logs.

Supported stacks

Ink auto-detects your project via Railpack:

• Node.js (Next.js, Express, Fastify, etc.)
• Python (Flask, FastAPI, Django, etc.)
• Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, Elixir
