Two days ago, I published an article about how I tried to hack my own PaaS and fixed the critical security bugs I found.
Today, I’m back to tell you that ChatGPT can now deploy my code for me.
Welcome to HYNA-Stage v3.0.0.

(Yes, this is literally how I feel every time a sandbox provisions in 7 seconds without a single docker-compose.yml file in sight).
🤖 THE "AHA!" MOMENT: WHAT IS MCP?
If you haven't heard of MCP (Model Context Protocol), here is the simple version: it’s the new standard that lets AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude Desktop actually use tools instead of just talking about them.
Before v3.0.0:
I ask ChatGPT: "How do I deploy a Node.js app?"
It gives me a 10-step tutorial and a bunch of YAML.
After v3.0.0:
I ask ChatGPT: "Deploy my Node.js app."
It actually deploys it. It talks directly to HYNA-Stage’s MCP server, provisions an isolated E2B MicroVM, and gives me the live URL.
No copy-pasting. No terminal commands. No YAML explosions. Just pure, AI-native infrastructure.
🚧 THE INDIE-HACKER FLEX: BYPASSING THE PAYWALL
Here is the frustrating reality: OpenAI’s public MCP directory requires a payment method for individual verification.
As a 12-year-old founder building on a ₹0 budget from a $150 Android phone, I don’t have a credit card to verify with. Big Tech gatekeeping at its finest.
So we didn't let that stop us.
You don't need the official directory to use this. Anyone can add HYNA-Stage as a custom connector right now:
- Go to ChatGPT Plugins → Create Plugin → With MCP
- Enter server URL:
https://hyna-stage.indevs.in - Complete our custom OAuth 2.1 + PKCE flow
- Done. Full access. No paywall. No gatekeeping.
Custom connectors are how the real builders operate anyway.
⚡ THE NUMBERS THAT ACTUALLY MATTER
I won't bore you with a massive architecture diagram (you can find the full v3.0.0 technical report on our GitHub). But here is what you need to know about the performance:
- Warm Sandbox Claims: Under 3 seconds. (Cold starts are 7-15s).
- Hot Reload Latency: ~300ms. Change a line of code, see it live instantly.
- Uptime: 99.9% over the last 7 days.
- Deployment Success Rate: >99% (thanks to the security hardening we did two days ago).
And yes, every single line of this MCP server, OAuth flow, and Cloudflare proxy was written and deployed from Termux on my phone.
🛠️ HOW TO TRY IT RIGHT NOW
1. The AI Way (ChatGPT / Claude Desktop)
- Go to
chatgpt.com/plugins - Select Create Plugin → With MCP
- Server URL:
https://hyna-stage.indevs.in - Authenticate and start telling the AI to deploy your code.
2. The Classic Way (CLI)
npm install -g @hynaweb/stage
hyna-stage login
hyna-stage init node
🧠 THE REAL TAKEAWAY
The future of development isn't wrestling with Docker networks or debugging YAML indentation at 2 AM.
The future is AI-native, instant, isolated, and accessible to anyone with a phone.
To everyone who read the security audit, to Akhouri (my CTO) for debugging the OAuth flow with me, and to this community for treating me like a peer: This v3.0.0 is for you.
We are just getting started.
Try it out, break it, and let me know what you build! 🐯☁️

@effessdev bro why haven't you shared your opinion lol they guys forget me in just two days
What's with 2 days? 🤔 Anything special happened in the last 2 days?
BROOOO YESSS WE GOT MCP CHATGPT = now you can go to chatgpt.com/plugins - add plugin - custom mcp server - instructions on the article AND GET IT ON AND CONNECT IT TO YOUR HYNA-STAGE ACCOUNT AND BOOM NOW YOU CAN TYPE @hyna-stage IN CHATGPT AND SEE ALL THINGS AND CAN EVEN CREATE OR DELETE ENVIRONMENTS AND IAM BUILDING GITHUB WRAPPER ITS SUSPENSE
Ummm sounds very good.
But how are you able to provide this for free? Which platform are you using? Will it break with many users?
Mmmmm its a complicated question so complicated answer : Good afternoon! Thank you for asking these excellent, high-value questions.
To answer quickly: HYNA-Stage is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) that lets developers spin up isolated, temporary cloud development environments (real Firecracker MicroVMs) in under 10 seconds, completely eliminating the need for local Docker or complex YAML.
Here is the breakdown of your questions:
1. How is it free & which platforms are we using?
We operate on a strict ₹0 budget by leveraging the generous free tiers of industry-leading infrastructure:
2. Will it break with many users?
The short answer is: no, because we have strict architectural guardrails.
First, we enforce hard, tier-based rate limits (e.g., the Free tier is capped at 3 concurrent sandboxes per user) to prevent resource abuse. Second, because the heavy lifting (VM provisioning) is handled by E2B's managed infrastructure and our control plane runs on serverless Edge functions, the architecture is inherently designed to scale horizontally.
As we grow and eventually hit the limits of these free tiers, we have a clear roadmap to transition to paid, scalable infrastructure (which is exactly the kind of scaling we are preparing for with incubators like IIT Madras!).
Thanks again for keeping us honest and asking the right architectural questions. Let me know if you want to test it out! 🐯☁️
Yeah! I forgot that we can eventually transition to paid lol
bro's cpu is slowed doen because of degradation 🤣 and lol nowadays i love technical jokes lole
Yeah my CPU can't even handle @akhourianmolkumar's single HTML file lol.
So this is why they give free tiers right? When you transition to the paid tier, they get money! 💰💰💰
meanwhile my i3-1215U after some throttlestop and intel extreme utility tweaks outperforming ryzen 7 I guess lol?
LOL 🤯 aak's html file ❌ death file ✅
EXACTLY ITS A PIECE OF CAKE AND IN YOUR LANGUAGE : എളുപ്പമുള്ള
BRO YOU ARE SPEAKING INTEL I AND RYZEN IAM MEDIA TEK HELIO
no worries hynaweb will lead you to ryzen 9 and i9 ultra for sure or snappdragon 8 elite series or snappdragon x elite or x2 or dimensity 9600 pro or xring 03..
BRO ACTUALLY I HAVE 90% CHANCE OF GETTING A LAPTOP BECAUSE TAMILNADU GOVERNMENT IS GIVING MY ELDER BROTHER A FREE LAPTOP AND THE GOVERNMENT SPECS : • Processor: Intel Core i3, AMD Ryzen 3, or an ELCOT-approved equivalent.

nice specs 😅 but please be really mad confirm because if we see goverment schemes there are more from central goverment too still as you can see 90% times they fail peak India things, yeah I know vijay thalapathy is good CM but still bro also your elder brother is in college?
Yep 3rd year and bro this scheme is after huge debates and already the distubuition started and elcot made laptops worth ₹2000 crores
bro he is college student lol you're school it's 99% my guarantee you're not getting a free laptop from scheme this is india bro.
Bro he gets a laptop he gives me that because he already has a hp
You should stop saying that he has an hp in public otherwise they will decide not to give laptop lol
oh now I understood yeah that's good bro
Lol this is india
Yeah bro
check discord message.
Bro iam in family time sorry bro
ok ok no worries.

🤣👏
I can't tell you how much I support this! I can't stand gatekeeping.
@akhourianmolkumar bro what do you think
