Formats

How each product is delivered, and what buyers receive

Every listing declares a format — how the product is delivered and what a buyer gets after purchase. The available formats depend on the category you pick when publishing.

CategoryFormats supported
AppsUpload a zip or HTML, Git repository, Paste source
MCP ServersHosted endpoint (Panoply-run), Downloadable zip
PluginsDownloadable zip
AI ToolsUpload a zip or HTML, Git repository, Paste source
DatasetsUpload a file, External URL

App formats

Apps and AI Tools are deployed and reachable at https://<slug>.panop.ly after approval. The format is just how you hand us the source.

Upload a zip or HTML

Upload a single self-contained HTML file or a zipped bundle (static, or a buildable framework app — no server-side rendering). We build and deploy it.

  • Use when: you have a finished build or a static page on disk.
  • Buyer sees: an "Open your app" link to the deployed URL.

Git repository

Point at a public git repository. We clone and deploy it once at publish time.

  • Use when: your source lives in a repo and you'd rather not upload a zip.
  • Note: there's no auto-sync — re-publish to ship an update.
  • Buyer sees: the same deployed-app link.

Paste source

Paste a single static HTML file inline — no upload.

  • Use when: it's a small, self-contained page.
  • Buyer sees: the same deployed-app link.

MCP Server formats

Hosted endpoint

Panoply runs your MCP server for you. Upload the server as a zip; once approved we provision it as a hosted endpoint behind a token-gated URL.

  • Use when: you want buyers to connect instantly without deploying anything.
  • Buyer sees: a private, revocable connection URL plus a config snippet for their AI client (e.g. Claude Code). Each buyer gets their own token; they can regenerate it, and it's revoked if their subscription lapses.

Downloadable zip

Ship the server as a bundle buyers download and run themselves.

  • Use when: the server needs the buyer's own keys/environment, or you'd rather not host.
  • Buyer sees: a download button and install instructions.

Plugin format

Downloadable zip

A zip the buyer drops into their Claude Code skills/plugins folder.

  • Buyer sees: a download button and "drop it in your skills folder" instructions.

Dataset formats

Upload a file

Upload a CSV, JSON, JSONL, or Parquet file directly.

  • Buyer sees: a direct download with the file type and size.

External URL

Link to a dataset hosted elsewhere.

  • Use when: the data is large or already lives somewhere stable.
  • Buyer sees: an external link that opens in a new tab, with a reminder to verify the source.
