ShipStatic

ShipStatic MCP

One URL. Your agent ships.

⚡ You probably don't need to install this. The same server is hosted at https://mcp.shipstatic.com — drop that URL into any MCP client and your agent can publish a website in its next message. No install, no Node.js, no signup, no API key.

This package is the local alternative. Install it when your agent needs to deploy a folder on your own machine, when you'd rather configure a token once than sign in, or when your client doesn't speak OAuth yet — the same fifteen tools, reached the other way. Local setup ↓

Deploy static websites, landing pages, and prototypes instantly from AI agents. Ask yours to put your site online and get back a real, shareable link in seconds.

Hosted: start here

Drop https://mcp.shipstatic.com into any MCP client. No install, no signup, no API key — your agent can publish a website in its next message.

VS Code

Install ShipStatic for VS Code — the server is built in, with no config at all.

Then just ask

"Publish this with ShipStatic."

Your agent publishes the files and answers with two links:

• The live site — a real URL you can share right away.
• A claim link — the site stays live for 3 days; open the claim link to keep it forever. A free account is all it takes.

Want the site private? Say "publish this with ShipStatic's built-in password protection". Visitors must enter the password before they can see anything, and saying "built-in" keeps your agent from writing a password page of its own.

Then connect, if you want more

Everything above works with no account at all. Connect one when your client offers to sign you in, and the same URL answers with the rest: everything you've shipped, your own domains, and sites that stay up permanently. Nothing to install, no key to paste — your client starts the sign-in itself.

Local: the same tools, from your own machine

Install this package when your agent needs to deploy a folder on your own machine — the hosted endpoint takes files inline, so it has no path to read from — when you'd rather configure a token once than sign in, or when your MCP client doesn't speak OAuth yet.

The config asks for one thing: SHIP_TOKEN. Its value is your API key — one credential, two names. The console mints it as an API key (it starts with ship-), and the setting that carries it is called the token. Get yours free at my.shipstatic.com/api-key, paste it where the snippets below show ship-your-api-key, and every site you publish lands in your account and never expires, with a rate limit of your own instead of the shared anonymous pools.

The key is optional: leave it out and the local server behaves exactly like the hosted endpoint with no account connected — public sites, claim links, live for 3 days.

The server runs with npx, which ships with Node.js (20.19 or newer).

Claude Code

claude mcp add shipstatic -e SHIP_TOKEN=ship-your-api-key -- npx -y @shipstatic/mcp

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shipstatic": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@shipstatic/mcp"],
      "env": { "SHIP_TOKEN": "ship-your-api-key" }
    }
  }
}

Antigravity

Add to ~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shipstatic": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@shipstatic/mcp"],
      "env": { "SHIP_TOKEN": "ship-your-api-key" }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf, Zed, and other MCP clients

Same config shape — npx -y @shipstatic/mcp, with SHIP_TOKEN in env. Works with any MCP-compatible client.

Tools

All fifteen tools are on both doors. What changes is not which tools exist, but which ones answer: deployments_upload is the one that needs no account, and the other fourteen answer once you have connected one (hosted) or set SHIP_TOKEN (local).

Publishing — no account needed

Deployments — with an account

Domains — with an account

Account — with an account

Paging long lists

deployments_list and domains_list accept limit and cursor. Each response carries a cursor — pass it back to fetch the next page; null means you are on the last one.

Retrying a deploy safely

deployments_upload accepts an idempotencyKey. If a deploy times out you cannot tell "it never landed" from "it landed and the response was lost", and retrying without a key creates a second site. Send the same key on the retry and you get back the site the first try made, once it went live. A key works only within your account: an anonymous deploy ignores it, and a retry makes a new site.

Key the attempt, not the try — a run id, a commit sha, or a uuid generated before the first call. A key that changes on every retry does nothing.

Deployments that clean themselves up

deployments_upload accepts a ttl in seconds. The deployment expires when the time is up and the platform reclaims it — handy for previews and throwaway iterations you would otherwise have to remember to delete.

{ "path": "/path/to/dist", "ttl": 3600 }

It needs an account — SHIP_TOKEN here, a connected account on the hosted endpoint: a deploy with no account already expires on the platform's schedule, so a ttl on one is refused rather than ignored. A deployment carrying a ttl cannot be linked to any domain: deploy without one when the site needs a domain.

Registry

Published to the MCP Registry as com.shipstatic/mcp. Registry-aware clients see both the hosted endpoint and the local install and pick whichever fits their environment.
