Novence

Built with Codex

Host a website built with Codex

Tell Codex to run npx novence deploy ./dist in your repo. It builds the site, uploads the files, and prints a live URL — no dashboard and no git remote needed. Codex can also connect to the Novence MCP server. After email verification, the Free plan adds a custom domain with free SSL for $0.

How do I get it online?

  1. Step 1 · Build the site

    Ask Codex to run your build (for example npm run build) so a folder with index.html exists.

  2. Step 2 · Deploy

    Ask Codex to run npx novence deploy ./dist --json. The JSON output gives Codex the live url to report back.

  3. Step 3 · Save the key

    Store the nv_ key as NOVENCE_API_KEY in your shell or CI secrets — never in the repo.

  4. Step 4 · Add your domain

    Verify your email, then run novence domains add www.yourbusiness.com and add the printed DNS records.

Built for terminal agents

Codex works in your terminal and repo, and the Novence CLI is made for that. It has --json output, --no-input for unattended runs, and non-zero exit codes when something fails, so Codex knows when to retry.

Prefer tools over shell commands? Add https://api.novence.ai/mcp as an MCP server and Codex can create forms, attach domains, and read check results directly.

# Codex, run:
npm run build
npx novence deploy ./dist --json --no-input

What works on Novence?

  • Plain HTML/CSS/JS and any static build — Vite, Astro, Next.js static export, Hugo, Eleventy
  • CI deploys with NOVENCE_API_KEY (GitHub Actions and similar)
  • Contact and quote forms with Novence Forms — submissions land in your inbox
  • Need a database or login? Keep Supabase (or any API) — your site calls it directly from the browser

FAQ

Can Codex deploy a website?

Yes. Codex can run npx novence deploy <folder> like any shell command, or use the Novence MCP server.

Is it the same for Codex CLI and the Codex app?

Yes. Both can run shell commands in your project, and the deploy command is the same.

Do I need a Novence account first?

No. The first npx novence deploy publishes with no key. Claim the site with your email when you want the Free plan and a custom domain.

Can Codex fix problems before launch?

Yes. Deploys can run Lighthouse, accessibility, and link checks, and the JSON output tells Codex what failed.
