Creek is the CLI for the Creek deployment platform -- an open-source, Cloudflare-native alternative to Vercel. Built on Workers for Platforms.

Also available as ck and crk.

Install

npm install -g creek

Or use directly with npx:

npx creek deploy

Quick Start

Start from a template (no account needed)

creek deploy --template landing

Clones a ready-made Vite + React landing page, builds it, and deploys it to a 60-minute sandbox URL — all in one command. The code is yours to edit.

Deploy your project

cd my-vite-app
creek deploy

Creek auto-detects your framework, runs the build, and deploys to a sandbox preview (60 min).

Deploy a directory

creek deploy ./dist

Deploy from a repo URL

creek deploy https://github.com/user/repo
creek deploy https://github.com/user/repo/tree/main/packages/app

For AI Agents

Creek is designed for programmatic use. No CAPTCHAs, no interactive prompts in CI.

Structured output

creek deploy ./dist --json

{
  "ok": true,
  "sandboxId": "a1b2c3d4",
  "url": "https://a1b2c3d4.creeksandbox.com",
  "deployDurationMs": 9234,
  "expiresAt": "2026-03-27T16:00:00.000Z",
  "assetCount": 12,
  "mode": "sandbox"
}

Non-TTY auto-detection

When running in pipes, CI/CD, or agent environments (no TTY), the CLI automatically:

• Outputs JSON instead of human-readable text
• Skips all confirmation prompts
• Uses exit codes for success (0) and failure (1)

# These are equivalent in CI:
creek deploy ./dist --json --yes
creek deploy ./dist  # auto-detects non-TTY

MCP Server

Creek provides a remote MCP server at mcp.creek.dev for AI agent integration. See the MCP documentation for details.

HTTP API

Deploy without installing the CLI:

curl -X POST https://sandbox-api.creek.dev/api/sandbox/deploy \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "assets": { "index.html": "<base64>" },
    "source": "my-agent"
  }'

No API key required for sandbox deploys. See the API documentation for details.

Supported Frameworks

Creek auto-detects and configures the build for:

• Next.js
• Vite (React, Vue, Svelte, Solid)
• Astro
• SvelteKit
• Nuxt
• TanStack Start
• React Router
• Any static site

Deploy Modes

| Mode | Trigger | Auth Required | TTL | |------|---------|:-------------:|-----| | Template | --template <name> | No | 60 min | | Sandbox | No creek.toml | No | 60 min | | Production | Has creek.toml + token | Yes | Permanent |

Configuration

Create creek.toml with creek init, or skip it entirely -- Creek works with zero config.

name = "my-app"
framework = "vite-react"

[build]
