Free cloud builds for your AI agent: 10,000 coins, no credit card

#ai #mcp #programming #devops

AI agents write code in minutes now. The expensive part sneaks in afterwards: build runners, test environments, APK toolchains — and most cloud CI services want a credit card before you can even try.

As a developer myself, that's exactly what I didn't want for my build platform. So on Roun, signing up gives you 10,000 coins free — no card, no trial timer, no "contact sales" wall. Enough to run dozens of real builds while you learn the workflow.

What the coins pay for

Coins are the credit for real work on isolated cloud runners:

  • npm run build for JS/TS projects
  • go build, cargo, pytest for backend and Rust projects
  • gradle assembleDebug — yes, full Android APK builds
  • compile_fix: when the build fails, the AI reads the error log, patches your source and retries (up to 3 times)

Peace-of-mind part: every request shows an estimated coin cost before it runs, coins are held, then charged against the actual result — not the guesswork. No surprise bills for a failed queue.

What I'd do with fresh 10k coins today

  1. Hook your agent up once — sign up, copy your key from the dashboard, paste one config block: 
{
  "mcp": {
    "codebridge": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://api.roun.sryze.cc/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Works in OpenCode, Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT — any MCP client.

  1. First build: drop 2–3 files and say "compile my files"
  2. Break something on purpose, then say "compile_fix" and watch the AI read its own error, patch, and pass
  3. Build an APK from a tiny Android demo without installing Android Studio locally
  4. Bonus: the Game Studio — describe a game in a sentence, play the HTML build instantly

When you outgrow free

Pricing is per-result and transparent; you only move when project volume makes it worth it. Until then the free coins cover genuine experimentation.

Tell me the first thing your agent compiled with free coins — I'd genuinely like to know what people point it at first.
