Neptune Combines AIAssisted Infrastructure as Code and Cloud Deployments

"Now available in beta, Neptune is a conversational AI agent designed to act like an AI platform engineer, handling the provisioning, wiring, and configuration of the cloud services needed to run a containerized app. Neptune is both language and cloud-agnostic, with support for AWS, GCP, and Azure. Neptune aims to bridge the gap between a deployment agent and a true AI platform engineer by understanding code and automatically planning and provisioning the infrastructure required to run it. It supports Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, and other AI coding assistants that implement the Model Context Protocol (MCP)."

"When infrastructure lives close to the code, it gives both developers and AI a shared context - and that shared understanding unlocks new possibilities. Agents can reason about an entire system, not just snippets of code, and start doing meaningful work for builders instead of generating isolated outputs."

"By installing Neptune MCP, AI assistants gain access to a set of tools that allow them to authenticate with Neptune, provision cloud resource, build and deploy applications, and monitor deployment status or retrieve logs. Compute resources are defined in a neptune.json configuration file, which the assistant can also create automatically, including any required port mappings. The following snippet provides an example of a compute resource definition in neptune.json: { "kind": "Service", "name": "my-app", "cpu": "512", "memory": "1024" }"

Neptune acts as a conversational AI platform engineer that provisions, wires, and configures cloud services required to run containerized applications. Neptune supports AWS, GCP, and Azure and remains language-agnostic. Neptune understands code to automatically plan and provision infrastructure and integrates with AI coding assistants that implement the Model Context Protocol. AI assistants with Neptune MCP can authenticate, provision cloud resources, build and deploy applications, and monitor deployments or retrieve logs. Compute resources are defined in a neptune.json configuration file, which assistants can generate automatically including port mappings. Neptune builds on Shuttle’s provisioning approach while extending assistant integration.
