stevejford/shiply-mcp

shiply is the production backend for anything an agent
builds — not just static hosting. An agent can publish any app in a single call —
no account, no config — and then give it a real backend over the same MCP server:
a SQL database, server functions, SSR, email (send and receive), custom domains,
SSL, environment variables, site data, lead capture, and a marketplace to sell the
site it built. Flat price, no usage meter.
The recommended way to use shiply is the **hosted, remote** MCP endpoint — connect
to the live URL, nothing to run. This repo also ships a small **local stdio MCP
server** (npx shiply-mcp / node index.mjs) that wraps shiply's public REST API
directly (it is a real local server, not a proxy), for clients or hosts that prefer
a local process. Listed on the Official MCP Registry as **now.shiply/shiply**.
Connect
**Remote MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP):**
Add it to an MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.):
Local (stdio)
Prefer a local process? Run the bundled server — it calls shiply's public REST API
directly (no proxy to the hosted endpoint):
Or clone this repo and run npm install && node index.mjs. Set SHIPLY_API_KEY
(shp_…) for owned-site operations; publish_site works without it. Local tools:
publish_site, site_status, rollback_site, add_custom_domain,
check_custom_domain.
Auth
Auth is **optional**. publish_site works anonymously — anonymous sites go live
instantly and can be claimed into an account later. Pass a Bearer API key
(Authorization: Bearer shp_…) to manage owned sites and unlock variables,
custom domains, databases, and analytics. Mint a key from the email-code flow in
llms.txt.
Tools
The live, authoritative tool list + JSON schemas are always at
/.well-known/mcp.json. By area:
- **Publish & versions** — publish_site (files → live *.shiply.now URL),
update an existing site, rollback, delete_site
- **Status & verify** — site_status, list_sites, verify_site (status + SSL +
thumbnail in one call)
- **Domains & SSL** — add_domain, check_domain, set_handle (vanity subdomain)
- **Config** — set_variable (encrypted per-user env), site access (password /
invite-only)
- **Site Data** — read/write/export visitor records and collections
- **Databases** — per-site SQL: Cloudflare D1 and Neon Postgres (provision, query,
branch)
- **Edge functions** — deploy serverless functions alongside the static site
- **Email & inbox** — send_email, list_site_inbox, set_mailbox, forward
- **Contracts** — create, send, and track e-sign contracts
