# Cookbooks

Build working apps with compact Volcano recipes, each with a tested coding-agent prompt.

Build with Volcano using focused code, a coding-agent prompt, and commands to deploy and check the result.

- [Pixelboard](https://docs.volcano.dev/cookbooks/pixel-board.md): a shared canvas with anonymous sign-in, persistent pixels, and live updates.
- [Real-time chat](https://docs.volcano.dev/cookbooks/realtime-chat.md): anonymous sign-in, rooms, messages saved in Postgres, live delivery, an online count and typing indicators.
- [Photo sharing with Storage](https://docs.volcano.dev/cookbooks/photo-sharing.md): email sign-in, uploads to a storage bucket, browser-made thumbnails, and bucket policies that let only the uploader delete.
- [Ecommerce store](https://docs.volcano.dev/cookbooks/ecommerce-store.md): a public catalog, carts in Postgres, and a function that prices each order and takes the stock in one transaction, so two shoppers can't buy the last unit.
- [Notes app with per-user data](https://docs.volcano.dev/cookbooks/notes-app-with-login.md): email and password sign-in, and a notes table where row-level security keeps each person's notes private.
- [Petstore API from its OpenAPI spec](https://docs.volcano.dev/cookbooks/petstore-api.md): the Swagger Petstore spec as a live API on Postgres, with public reads, signed-in writes, and row-level security, tested from Insomnia.
- [Remote MCP server with Postgres tools](https://docs.volcano.dev/cookbooks/mcp-server.md): an MCP server on a public HTTPS URL, with bookmark tools behind a bearer token, called from Insomnia or Claude Code.
