shiply — MCP server

shiply is instant web hosting for AI agents. An agent can publish a live website in a single call — no account, no config — and then manage the whole site over the same MCP server: updates, custom domains, SSL, environment variables, site data, SQL databases, edge functions, lead capture, email, and a marketplace to sell the site it built.

This repo is the public descriptor for the hosted, remote shiply MCP server. There is nothing to install or run — you connect to the live endpoint. Listed on the Official MCP Registry as now.shiply/shiply.

Connect

Remote MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP):

https://shiply.now/mcp

Add it to an MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shiply": {
      "url": "https://shiply.now/mcp"
    }
  }
}

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
• Analytics — get_analytics (views, referrers)

Examples

Publish a folder, get a live URL (anonymous, no account):

// tool: publish_site
{ "files": [ { "path": "index.html", "content": "<h1>Hi</h1>" } ] }
// → { "url": "https://merry-maple-3kf2.shiply.now", "claimUrl": "..." }

Confirm it's live (status + SSL + screenshot) before reporting done:

// tool: verify_site
{ "slug": "merry-maple-3kf2" }
// → { "status": "LIVE", "ssl": { "valid": true }, "thumbnailUrl": "..." }
