With an AI agent

You can publish content to Posit Connect from an AI coding agent, such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor. Posit distributes a deploy-to-connect skill that teaches the agent how to detect your content type, prepare its dependencies, and deploy it with the rsconnect-python package or the R rsconnect package.

The agent uses the same publishing paths described elsewhere in this section, and it has no privileges beyond yours. Deployment uses your Connect credentials, so the publisher role and content permissions apply as usual.

Install the skill

Install the skill into any supported agent:

Terminal

npx skills add posit-dev/skills --skill deploy-to-connect

In Claude Code, install it as a plugin:

/plugin marketplace add posit-dev/skills
/plugin install connect@posit-dev-skills

Deploy

Ask the agent to deploy from your project directory. For example:

Deploy this app to Connect.

The agent detects the framework, verifies that an rsconnect-python or rsconnect installation is available, deploys the content, and reports the resulting content URL.

For the supported content types, required credentials, and troubleshooting guidance, see the deploy-to-connect skill documentation.
