Step 1: Create your project

Go to InsForge Cloud

Visit insforge.dev and create a free account
Once logged in:
  1. Click “Create New Project”
  2. Your backend will be ready in ~3 seconds
  3. You’ll be redirected to the project console — copy the Project ID from the browser URL:
https://insforge.dev/dashboard/project/<your-project-id>
You’ll need this Project ID in Step 2.

Step 2: Install InsForge CLI

In your project directory, run the following command to link your local project to InsForge:
npx @insforge/cli link --project-id <your-project-id>
Replace <your-project-id> with the Project ID from Step 1. For example:
npx @insforge/cli link --project-id 510b4339-7027-45a6-89e9-21a1f03d8bd9
This runs the InsForge CLI via npx (without installing it globally) and links your local directory to your InsForge project.

Step 3: Verify Installation

Send the following prompt to your AI coding agent to verify the setup: I'm using InsForge as my backend platform. Read the current directory, make sure InsForge skills are installed, and use InsForge CLI for backend tasks.
