Build on App Platform with AI

Validated on 6 Aug 2025 • Last edited on 13 Aug 2025

App Platform is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering that allows developers to publish code directly to DigitalOcean servers without worrying about the underlying infrastructure.

You can integrate App Platform into AI development environments and tools using the App Platform MCP server and llms.txt. MCP and llms.txt both standardize how to provide context to LLMs:

  • MCP is a standardized client-server protocol. The App Platform MCP server provides context for AI clients to make requests to the DigitalOcean API.
  • llms.txt is a standardized Markdown file format. App Platform’s llms.txt lets you train a model on our product documentation. Using App Platform’s AI development integrations can help you generate, refactor, and optimize code with AI assistance rather than manually.
