pricing

solo is local. team is network-visible.

both plans include every tool, every model, every capability. the difference is operational topology — not features.

  • everything in Solo
  • HTTP MCP transport — LAN & VPN access
  • concurrent clients — multiple devs, one instance
  • deepstrain mcp --http --port 8765 on any interface
  • connect from laptop, desktop, CI — same agent
  • localhost HTTP always allowed (test without Team)

team: one network-visible runtime, every device

Start the HTTP MCP server on your desktop or home server. Every device on your LAN or VPN — laptop, tablet, CI runner — connects to the same agent. You chose network visibility. deepstrain just honors that intent.

# On your server / desktop
$ deepstrain mcp --http --port 8765
# On any device on the network
$ claude mcp add deepstrain-remote --transport http http://192.168.1.x:8765

frequently asked questions

what is the difference between Solo and Team?▾

Solo gives you the full deepstrain toolset on a single machine via the stdio MCP protocol — perfect for individual developers. Team adds the HTTP MCP transport, which lets you run one deepstrain instance on a powerful machine (or server) and connect from any device on your LAN or VPN. Multiple developers can share the same agent simultaneously.

can i use a local LLM instead of DeepSeek?▾

yes — both tiers support local LLMs via the DEEPSTRAIN_BASE_URL environment variable. point it at Ollama (localhost:11434/v1), LM Studio (localhost:1234/v1), or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. no API key required for local endpoints. run any model: llama3, deepseek-r1, mistral, qwen, phi…

what does 'HTTP MCP transport' mean exactly?▾

deepstrain's default MCP mode uses stdin/stdout — it only works on the same machine as Claude Code. HTTP transport starts a real web server (deepstrain mcp --http --port 8765) that any MCP client can reach over the network. claude mcp add deepstrain-remote --transport http http://YOUR-IP:8765 and every device shares the agent.

what is byok and why does it matter?▾

byok (bring your own key) means you supply your own DeepSeek API key. deepstrain never stores or proxies your key through our servers — it goes directly from your machine to DeepSeek. this preserves privacy and gives you full cost control.

how does activation work?▾

zero friction — no manual key entry. run `deepstrain chat` and your browser opens the payment page. as soon as checkout completes, deepstrain polls our edge and writes a signed token locally. tier (Solo or Team) is embedded in the token. no copy-pasting, no manual steps.

can i use deepstrain offline?▾

yes. after initial activation, deepstrain works completely offline. the signed token is cached at ~/.deepstrain/.license and verified via HMAC-SHA256 without any network connection. internet is only needed at renewal time.

can i switch between Solo and Team?▾

yes. upgrade from Solo to Team at any time — unused days are credited. downgrade at renewal. your config, API key, and notes carry over between tiers.

can i cancel anytime?▾

yes, cancel any time from your dashboard. no lock-in, no penalty. you keep access until the end of your paid period.
