# self-hosted-funnel-launch

This skill takes a self-hosted funnel from an empty install to published pages, checkout, an upsell and a thank-you step. Use it when an agent must deploy and edit the funnel over MCP.

## What it does

The skill guides Autonnel from an empty installation to a published funnel. It covers a landing page, checkout, one-click upsell and thank-you page, then exposes the build through MCP tools. The source recommends planning the funnel first with `sales-funnel-blueprint`.

For Cloudflare Workers, the setup uses `wrangler`, KV caching and Hyperdrive for Postgres, with deployment through `npm run deploy:cf`. Docker suits local evaluation or a server you already operate: `docker compose up` starts Postgres and the app, then `/setup` creates the admin account. The deployment needs Postgres plus secrets such as `DATABASE_URL`, `AUTH_SESSION_SECRET` and `CREDENTIALS_ENCRYPTION_KEY`.

KV writes are the practical Cloudflare constraint to watch. Publishing refreshes cached entries, so a busy editing day can reach that limit before traffic does. Check the publishing flow before putting the funnel on a public host.

## Requirements
- Works with: Docker

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add autonnel/autonnel-skills --skill self-hosted-funnel-launch -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/self-hosted-funnel-launch/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/self-hosted-funnel-launch/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add autonnel/autonnel-skills --skill self-hosted-funnel-launch -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/self-hosted-funnel-launch/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add autonnel/autonnel-skills --skill self-hosted-funnel-launch -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/self-hosted-funnel-launch/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install autonnel/autonnel-skills self-hosted-funnel-launch
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/self-hosted-funnel-launch/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add autonnel/autonnel-skills --skill self-hosted-funnel-launch -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/autonnel/autonnel-skills --path self-hosted-funnel-launch
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/self-hosted-funnel-launch/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add autonnel/autonnel-skills --skill self-hosted-funnel-launch -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/autonnel/autonnel-skills/tree/HEAD/self-hosted-funnel-launch/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- deploy a funnel builder on Cloudflare Workers
- run Autonnel with Docker
- build a funnel from landing page to thank-you step
- connect payments, catalog and conversion tracking
- let an agent create and edit funnels through MCP

## Example prompts
- Deploy Autonnel to Cloudflare Workers and take me through `/setup`.
- Build a funnel with a landing page, checkout, one-click upsell and thank-you page.
- Start Autonnel with Docker and prepare Postgres, payment and conversion tracking settings.

description: Deploy a self-hosted funnel builder, take a funnel from empty install to published - landing page, checkout, one-click upsell, thank-you - and drive it from an agent over MCP. Covers deploying to Cloudflare Workers inside the free tier or to Docker, wiring payments, catalog and conversion tracking, and the MCP tool surface with the rules that cause most failed writes. Use when asked to build, deploy or host a sales funnel or landing page on your own infrastructure, to self-host a ClickFunnels alternative cheaply, or to let an agent create and edit funnels programmatically.

# Self-Hosted Funnel Launch

Take a funnel from nothing to published on infrastructure the operator controls, using [Autonnel](https://github.com/autonnel/autonnel) (Apache-2.0). This skill is the build step; design the funnel first with `sales-funnel-blueprint`, and confirm self-hosting is the right call with `funnel-platform-picker` if that is still open.

## Step 1: choose how it runs

| Path | Cost at low volume | Ops burden | Use it for |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Cloudflare Workers** | Effectively $0 plus a Postgres | No servers, no patching | **Default for production.** Funnel pages are mostly static assets, which Workers serves free and unmetered |
| Docker | Cost of one VPS or container host | Yours: upgrades, backups, uptime | Local evaluation in two minutes, or a server you already run and want the data on |
| Source checkout (Node) | Cost of one VPS or container host | Yours | Modifying Autonnel itself, or running the Node build directly |

Recommend Workers unless the operator has a specific reason not to: the pricing model fits funnels almost exactly, and it removes the entire class of work that makes people avoid self-hosting.

Use Docker for the first look regardless. It is the fastest way to see the product, and nothing you build locally is wasted: the same schema and the same admin UI back both paths.

## Step 2a: Cloudflare Workers (the near-free production path)

### Why the cost is close to zero

Funnel traffic is overwhelmingly requests for pages, images and scripts. On Workers those are static asset requests, which are **free and unlimited, with no storage cost** - only requests that invoke the Worker (server-rendered pages, checkout, API) are billed. A funnel's dynamic surface is small: the order form, the upsell accept, the postback queue.

Verified Cloudflare free-plan limits (checked 2026-08; confirm current numbers before you rely on them):
