Questions

• What does commitFiles do?

  Commit one or more files to a feature branch on a connected GitHub repo (multi-file atomic commit). It is one of the tools The Cloud MCP server gives every connected AI.

• How do I use commitFiles from Claude or ChatGPT?

  Connect your AI to The Cloud at https://mcp.thecloud.so/mcp and sign in once. Then ask Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any AI connected to The Cloud "commit this", and it calls commitFiles.

• Is commitFiles safe to let an AI call?

  commitFiles changes your workspace. What an AI creates is Private until you share it. It reaches a system outside The Cloud on your behalf.
