Venelx Docs

Venelx is a CI/CD platform for mobile and web apps. It builds your Expo / React Native (and web) projects on self-hosted build workers you control, manages iOS and Android code signing, integrates with GitHub, and stores artifacts in Backblaze B2 — all driven from the dashboard at app.venelx.com or from AI assistants via the Venelx MCP server.

   ├── iOS: macOS + Xcode + eas-cli --local
   └── Android: Android SDK (Linux, Windows via WSL2, or macOS)

The moving parts:

• Dashboard (app.venelx.com) — create projects, connect GitHub, configure signing, trigger builds, watch live logs, download artifacts.
• API (api.venelx.com) — auth, queue enqueue, worker fleet management, B2 presigning, log streaming, GitHub token lifecycle.
• Build workers — run the actual builds on your own hardware. iOS builds require a Mac with Xcode; Android builds run on Linux, macOS, or Windows (WSL2).
• MCP server (@venelx/mcp) — operate the platform from Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.
