Common questions

Is Artifacts safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: ARTIFACTS_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Self-hosted, Claude-style artifact publishing

Dashboard: publish, group by project, and manage

A published artifact served with the viewer topbar

About

AI assistants produce a lot of shareable output: dashboards, prototypes, reports, small apps. Claude's hosted artifacts work well, but the URLs live on someone else's infrastructure. This is the self-hosted version, about 1,100 lines. You POST content, it serves the rendered result at an unguessable URL on a domain you control.

It runs as one container with a single admin account and, by default, no database. Each artifact is a directory of plain files under /data, so backing up that directory backs up everything. On hosts that wipe local disk on restart, point it at durable external storage instead (an S3-compatible bucket, a git remote, or Postgres) by setting STORAGE_BACKEND. See deploying.

Features

Content types. HTML, JSX/TSX (a single React component, no build step), Markdown, BPMN 2.0 process maps, PDF, and zipped static sites.
Agent-native, human-friendly. A built-in MCP server lets Claude Code, Codex, or any MCP client publish with one tool call. Humans get a drag-and-drop web UI at / (behind an admin login) and a CLI.
Two-tier auth. An admin logs into the dashboard with a password; CLI and MCP carry scoped, revocable API keys (read / publish / full) with optional expiry, so you never share one master secret.
Private by default, with per-artifact visibility. A new artifact is private, shared through a signed capability link (?k=…) you can rotate to revoke. Switch any artifact to public (anyone with the bare link) or password-protected. Nothing is discoverable by default: unguessable slugs, noindex everywhere. See visibility.
Optional viewer frame. A slim top toolbar (title, copy link, hide) like Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT artifacts. Toggle it globally in Settings or per artifact; ?raw=1 serves the bare content. Redirects are never framed.
Markdown render settings. Pick the reading font, content width, base font size, and starting theme for every Markdown artifact in Settings. Markdown renders from its source on each view, so a change shows on existing artifacts too. Framed Markdown gets a navbar button that cycles Auto, Light, and Dark for that reader. A fenced mermaid code block is drawn as a diagram that follows the theme. See docs/formats.md.
BPMN process maps. Publish a BPMN 2.0 file and it gets a diagram viewer with pan, zoom, and SVG or .bpmn download. The XML is checked on publish, and a file with no diagram layout gets one drawn for it, pools and lanes included, so an agent can write the process and leave the coordinates to the server. See docs/formats.md.
PDF hosting. Publish a PDF and it gets a viewer page plus a direct-download link. Three per-artifact viewer modes (standard, presentation, minimal) and a download toggle that removes the viewer's buttons. The toggle is a convenience, not protection: the file's URL still answers with the bytes. See docs/formats.md.
Redirects. type: "redirect" turns a slug into a short link that answers an HTTP 301 at the server, where other hosts fall back to a JavaScript bounce. The target must be an absolute http(s) URL and cannot carry credentials, and the response is uncacheable, so repointing the slug takes effect on the next visit. Repoint one from the row menu in the dashboard, or with a PUT. Read the cost of running an open redirector on your domain first: docs/formats.md.
Embeddable. A public artifact drops into any page as one . The row menu writes the tag for you, pointing at ?raw=1 so the frame holds the artifact and not a second toolbar. Private and password-protected artifacts stay unembeddable on purpose, and the unlock prompt refuses to be framed at all. See docs/embedding.md.
QR code per artifact. Every artifact has a QR of its permanent URL, from the row menu in the dashboard, GET /api/artifacts/:slug/qr, or artifacts qr . SVG or PNG, generated in-process: no QR library, no third-party image service, nothing about your artifacts leaves the box. See the API reference.
Organize by project. Group artifacts built for the same project into collapsible sections, with a search box across project, title, slug, tags, and a redirect's target. Tags stay for cross-cutting labels.
Lifecycle controls. Custom slugs, rename, tags, disable without deleting, auto-expire, delete.
Abuse-resistant. Login and unlock endpoints are rate-limited per client IP (failures only), and password hashing runs off the event loop, so a burst of guesses slows those two routes instead of stalling the server. Set TRUST_PROXY for the real client IP behind Cloudflare or a reverse proxy. See deploying.

Quick start

Clone, configure, start:

git clone https://github.com/anvilnine/artifacts && cd artifacts

cp .env.example .env # set ARTIFACTS_API_KEY (openssl rand -hex 32) and BASE_URL docker compose up -d

Or skip the clone and run the image directly:

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -v artifacts-data:/data \

-e ARTIFACTS_API_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32) \ -e BASE_URL=https://artifacts.example.com \ ghcr.io/anvilnine/artifacts:latest

Publish something:

curl -s -X POST https://artifacts.example.com/api/artifacts \

-H "Authorization: Bearer $ARTIFACTS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"content": " hello ", "type": "html", "slug": "hello", "tags": ["demo"]}'

{"slug":"hello","url":"https://artifacts.example.com/a/hello"}

Let Claude Code publish for you:

claude mcp add --transport http artifacts https://artifacts.example.com/mcp \

--header "Authorization: Bearer ${ARTIFACTS_API_KEY}" --scope user

Development

No build step. Node ≥ 22.

npm install

cp .env.example .env # any ARTIFACTS_API_KEY works locally, e.g. "test" npm run dev

UI at http://localhost:3000

The end-to-end suite is one shell script:

bash .github/workflows/smoke.sh http://localhost:3000 <your-key>

A few cases cannot be reached over HTTP, such as a hand-edited auth.json. Those run as unit tests on node's built-in runner, no server needed:

npm test

That covers the dashboard too. dashboard-check.mjs fetches /, parses the inline script in public/index.html, and checks that every element the script grabs by id is still in the markup. It runs no browser, so it catches a syntax error or a deleted element but not a runtime error.

PRs welcome. See CONTRIBUTING.md.

Hosted version

Self-hosting is the product, and the open source version stays complete. If you would rather not run a server, Anvil Nine is building a managed version: same publishing flow, custom domains, backups handled for you. A waitlist page opens with the first cloud announcement; watch this repo's releases until then.

Security

Uploaded HTML runs in the browser. That is the whole point, so the model is built to contain it:

Serve artifacts from their own origin. Point artifact URLs at a domain that hosts nothing else, so a published page can never touch the dashboard's session cookie.
Writes need a scoped API key. Publishing carries a bearer key; the admin dashboard uses a separate HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict session cookie.
Reads rely on unguessable slugs. Public artifacts are reachable by anyone with the link and carry noindex, but there is no listing to browse. Don't publish secrets.
Credential routes are throttled. Login and unlock rate-limit per client IP and hash passwords off the event loop. A caller below publish scope gets a 256 kB body parser instead of the 10 MB one, and a cap of 20 large bodies a minute per client IP, both checked before the body is parsed. Put a CDN or edge limiter in front for volumetric attacks.

Full threat model in SECURITY.md.
