Cloud applications

See what Cloud applications provide and where each application's responsibility begins.

Cloud ships focused applications on the same platform contract available to standalone services. Each application owns its product behavior and data. Cloud supplies shared identity, access, navigation, operations, and other platform building blocks.

This catalog answers three questions: what an application is for, which resources it owns, and which Cloud building blocks it uses. Open Help inside a running application for detailed usage instructions.

Question Source
What does this application provide? This Apps catalog
What do I need to deploy these applications? Deployment requirements
How do I use the product UI? Help inside the running application
How do I build or extend a Cloud application? Developer documentation
Which shared components can I use? UI catalog
What can my installed CLI do? cld help and cld <module> help

Installed applications depend on the deployment and the current user's access. Run cld apps list --json when a script needs the live list from the selected Cloud instance.

Connect a coding agent

The Cloud skill provides compact working instructions. MCP supplies exact current documentation when details matter.

CLI command
bunx skills add https://docs.example.com

This command installs the working instructions published by this website in the selected coding agent.

For exact, current details, also connect the MCP server through one of the agent tabs.

Installation uses the open-source Vercel Skills CLI.

The skill and MCP complement each other: the skill describes workflows, while MCP supplies current documentation.
