MCP Server - WebsitePublisher.ai

🔌 What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard by Anthropic that allows AI assistants like Claude to connect with external tools and services. Our MCP server lets Claude directly interact with your WebsitePublisher.ai projects.

✨ What you can do

Just tell Claude things like "Build me a portfolio website" or "Add a contact page" - and Claude will create the actual pages on your live website!

📦 Installation

Get your API credentials

Log into WebsitePublisher.ai and get your Project ID and API Token from the dashboard.

Make sure Node.js is installed

Open a terminal and check with node --version. If not installed, download from nodejs.org (LTS version).

Configure Claude Desktop

Open the Claude Desktop configuration file:

📁

Config file location: Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the following configuration:

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "websitepublisher": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "websitepublisher-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "WPA_PROJECT_ID": "your-project-id",
        "WPA_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace your-project-id and your-api-token with your actual credentials.

🔧 Troubleshooting

Claude doesn't recognize the tools

npx -y websitepublisher-mcp
