# TakoCode

Wires TakoCode's hosted coding agent into your assistant. You hand over one goal, it returns a working web app with a preview and a public link.

## What it does

TakoCode is a platform for building apps with AI. This MCP server is remote, so nothing runs on your machine — the work happens on TakoCode's side and your client just sends requests. It speaks Streamable HTTP and authenticates with OAuth 2.0 against your TakoCode account.

Builds happen in turns. You send a single goal with `start_turn`, the agent writes the project, and you poll `check_turn` for progress — that start-and-poll shape keeps long jobs alive through client timeouts and dropped connections. From there the assistant can grab a link to the running preview, pull the source down as a ZIP, push it to a connected GitHub account, or deploy it to a permanent address. Project lists, wallet balance and deployment status are reachable too.

Spending stays with the human. Topping up the wallet and buying a domain return Stripe checkout links that only a person can finish, and publishing needs explicit approval. You need a TakoCode account to start: a $10/mo membership plus prepaid credits, billed per build turn.

The `/api/mcp/chatgpt` surface drops `top_up_wallet` and `buy_domain` — ChatGPT directory rules forbid plugins from selling credits and domains. Builds and publishing draw on credits already on the account on both surfaces.
