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 notes (shared ~/.deepstrain/notes.md)
  • seat-based billing — pay per developer
  • dedicated support + onboarding call

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.
