This walks the whole path: account → API key → CLI → project → GitHub → live app → logs. Every step past the first two also works through the API and MCP.

​
1. Create your account

Sign up at korve.dev/register. Korve is paid-only: after verifying your email you’ll add a card on file — the platform minimum is $5/month, credited against usage. Nothing provisions until billing is active.

​
2. Mint an API key

In the dashboard, open your organization’s settings and create an API key under API keys. Pick a role:
  • admin — can create projects, set environment variables, manage domains.
  • member — read-mostly: deploys, logs, usage.
The secret (korve_...) is shown exactly once — store it securely. Key management is deliberately session-only: a leaked key can never mint, list, or revoke keys, touch billing, or manage members.

​
3. Install the CLI and log in

See Install the CLI for platforms and details.

​
4. Connect GitHub

Install the Korve GitHub App on the repository you want to deploy: https://github.com/apps/korve-dev/installations/new Once your project exists (next step), you can verify access at any time with korve projects check-repo acme/storefront — if the platform can’t reach the repo, the answer includes this install URL.

​
5. Create the project (and first deploy)

The slug becomes the public URL — https://storefront.korve.app — and is permanent. Passing --repo queues the first deploy immediately and enables push-to-deploy. Link the directory so later commands don’t need --project:

​
6. Push → live

Every push to the production branch (default main) deploys automatically, and every pull request gets its own preview environment. To deploy by hand and follow the build to completion:
The command streams status transitions (queued → building → deploying → ready) and prints your live URL.

​
7. Watch it run

If a deploy fails, ask the platform agent what went wrong:
