Best AI tools to build Capacitor apps
A general coding agent writes code. Capgo gives that agent Capacitor knowledge and the tools to build, publish, and update your iOS and Android apps.
The stack that works
Pick the coding agent you like: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, or Windsurf. On its own it knows web code, not Capacitor native projects, signing, or store rules. Add Capgo as the Capacitor layer.
- Coding agent: writes and edits your app code
- Capgo skills: Capacitor know-how for UI, native plugins, deep links, push, offline, performance, and security
- Capgo MCP: lets the agent manage apps, builds, channels, rollouts, rollbacks, and stats
- Capgo platform: cloud native builds, App Store and Google Play publishing, live updates, and Observe
What Capgo adds at each step
Capgo is not a prompt-to-app generator. It covers the parts of Capacitor work where general agents usually get stuck.
- Build: skills and maintained plugins for camera, payments, biometrics, notifications, and more
- Migrate and upgrade: move a web, Cordova, or other framework app to Capacitor and upgrade major versions
- Debug and test: iOS and Android debugging, testing, security scans, and App Store review preflight
- Build and publish: signed iOS and Android builds without a Mac, uploaded to the stores
- Ship and maintain: live updates, staged rollouts, one-click rollback, and release health
Set it up in two minutes
Install the skills with npx skills add Cap-go/capgo-skills, then add the hosted MCP server https://api.capgo.app/mcp to your agent and sign in. Ask your agent to build a feature, then publish it.
