• Signing Up - Create your account
• API Keys - Manage authentication
• SSH Keys - Configure SSH access

Devboxes (recommended)

Devboxes are programmable cloud development environments for humans and CLI agents:

• Getting started - Create, automate, and share devboxes via API or dashboard
• Development - VSCode/Cursor + tmux automation for CLI agents
• Prototyping - Preview URLs for web apps/APIs + persistent VPS mode
• Sharing & collaboration - Share live devboxes via URL inside your org

Actions

Morph Actions brings GitHub Actions onto Morph Cloud:

• Getting started - Use the web UI to connect the GitHub App, migrate workflows, dispatch runs, and inspect logs plus CI analytics

Volumes

Morph Volumes provide persistent S3-compatible storage for caches, artifacts, and durable shared data:

• Getting started - Connect with the web console, morphcloud volumes, MorphCloudClient().volumes, AWS CLI, curl, or boto3 using your Morph API key

VM primitives (instances + snapshots)

Instances and snapshots are the underlying infrastructure primitives. They’re great for power users who want fine-grained VM control (e.g. RL environments, test-time scaling, bespoke orchestration).

Snapshot Management

Learn what snapshots do and how to set them up:

• Basic Operations - Create, take, and delete snapshots
• Snapshot Setup - Advanced initial snapshot creation

Instance Management

Learn what Morph Cloud instances are and how to use them:

• Introduction - Create, start, and stop instances
• Pause & Resume - Temporarily stop instances
• Live Disk Capacity - Increase or decrease eligible native instances' root capacity without rebooting; limited preview for enabled organizations
• Branching - Create branches from instances
• Metadata - Work with instance metadata
• SSH - Connect via SSH
• Command Execution - Run remote commands
• File Management - Upload and download files
• Running FUSE on MorphVMs - Verify support, install packages, and test a working FUSE mount
• HTTP Services - Expose HTTP services
