Cloud

RocketRide Cloud is a managed engine: the same runtime you can self-host, operated for you. Instead of running the engine yourself, you point a client at the Cloud endpoint and start building pipelines, no infrastructure to provision.

Connecting

Set two values and any SDK or the CLI connects:

Variable	Value
ROCKETRIDE_URI	https://api.rocketride.ai
ROCKETRIDE_APIKEY	Your API token.

ROCKETRIDE_URI=https://api.rocketride.ai
ROCKETRIDE_APIKEY=your-api-token

The SDKs and CLIs read ROCKETRIDE_APIKEY. The MCP servers (the standalone rocketride-mcp server and the engine's MCP module) additionally read ROCKETRIDE_AUTH; in the standalone MCP server it takes precedence over ROCKETRIDE_APIKEY.

Always use https:// or wss:// for Cloud. An http://, ws://, or bare host:port URI silently downgrades to an unencrypted connection. The secure scheme upgrades to wss:// under the hood, see the WebSocket protocol.
