How to deploy a website with an AI agent (MCP)
Last updated: 21 June 2026
MakeMySiteLive has a hosted MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, so an AI assistant like Claude can publish and manage your sites for you — create a site, deploy a ZIP, roll back a version, or set a password, all from a chat. You connect once with your own account, and the agent works within your plan. Here’s how to set it up.
What you’ll need
- ✓A MakeMySiteLive account (the first site is free — no credit card).
- ✓An MCP-capable AI client — for example Claude (claude.ai or Claude Code), or another MCP client.
- ✓Your site as a ZIP with an index.html at the root, for when you’re ready to deploy.
Steps
- 1
Open your AI client’s connectors
In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors (in other MCP clients, open the custom/remote MCP server settings). Choose to add a new server.
- 2
Add the MakeMySiteLive server
Enter the server URL https://mcp.makemysitelive.com/mcp. It’s a hosted, remote MCP server — there’s nothing to install or run locally.
- 3
Sign in and authorize
Your client opens a browser to sign in to MakeMySiteLive and approve access (OAuth). Approve write access so the agent can create and deploy sites; you can grant read-only instead if you only want it to view your sites.
- 4
Ask the agent about your account
Say “check my MakeMySiteLive account.” It calls get_account and reports your plan, your free and paid site slots, and what it can do.
- 5
Create and deploy a site
Ask it to create a site with a subdomain and deploy your ZIP. The first site is free; the agent checks the subdomain, creates the site, uploads the ZIP, and returns the live yourname.makemysitelive.com URL.
- 6
Manage sites by chatting
Ask the agent to list your sites, roll back to an earlier version, turn on password protection (paid sites), or check whether a subdomain is free — without leaving the conversation.
Frequently asked questions
Which AI tools work with this?
Any MCP-compatible client. Claude (on claude.ai and in Claude Code) is the common case, and other MCP clients work too. You add the MakeMySiteLive server once and the agent gains a set of tools scoped to your account.
What can the AI agent actually do?
Read actions: see your account and plan, list sites, view a site’s versions, and check subdomain availability. Write actions (when you grant write access): create a site, deploy a ZIP, roll back a version, set password protection, and delete a site.
Is it safe to connect?
Yes. The connection uses OAuth — you sign in with your own account and approve access, and the agent acts only as you and only within your plan limits. You can grant read-only access, and you can disconnect the connector from your AI client at any time.
Do I still need the dashboard?
No — an agent can create, deploy, and manage sites end-to-end through MCP. The dashboard is always there when you want to do something by hand or manage billing.
