Build on MakeMySiteLive

Everything you can do in the dashboard, you can do in code. Drive deploys from a public REST API, or let an AI agent do it through our hosted MCP server.

REST API

Scoped API keys and simple JSON endpoints. Ideal for CI/CD, scripts, and integrations.

MCP server

A hosted Model Context Protocol server so AI assistants like Claude can publish your sites.

REST API

Base URL https://www.makemysitelive.com. Authenticate every request with a scoped key: Authorization: Bearer mmsl_…

Publishing limits

To keep the service fair, each IP address can publish a limited number of times a day.

Each IP address can deploy 10 times in 24 hours. Dashboard uploads and REST API deploys all count toward the same 10, for full sites and microsites alike.
Creating a new microsite has its own limit: 5 a day per IP address. It does not use up your 10 deploys.
If you hit a limit, the API answers 429 with a Retry-After header. It is the number of seconds left before you can try again. Wait that long, then retry.
Deploy when your content changes, not on a timer. A script that republishes a live page every few minutes will use up the day's deploys quickly.

MCP server

Connect an MCP-capable AI client (like Claude) to our hosted server and an agent can create, deploy, roll back, and protect your sites by chatting, within your plan.

Add it as a remote connector in your client and sign in with your MakeMySiteLive account (OAuth). Grant read-only or read-write access. The agent acts only as you. It exposes read tools (account, list, inspect, check-subdomain) and, with write access, create / deploy / rollback / password-protection / delete.
