Totem puts browser games online through your AI coding tool. Connect Totem once, tell your tool to publish, and get a link anyone can open.

## Who Totem is for

Totem is for anyone with a browser game. Your game can come from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, another coding tool, or your own editor.

You need a static build with an `index.html` file at its root. Your AI tool handles the publishing steps through Totem's MCP server.

## What you get

A published game includes:

* A shareable link at `play.totemlabs.io/<handle>/<game-slug>`.
* Play, player, session, and return analytics.
* One player tag across Totem games.
* A leaderboard and game-over screen.
* An install option for supported browsers.

Playable version history, restricted development builds, and studio profiles are marked Coming soon. Those planned surfaces are tracked on [Product status](/roadmap).

## What Totem is not

Totem is not a game engine. It does not run server code from your game archive, and it is not a payment or monetization service.

## Access

Account creation opens in small groups. [Join the waitlist](https://totemlabs.io/#invite) if you do not have access yet.

When you have access, follow [Your game online](/quickstart) from start to finish.
