MCP SERVER

Ask Claude to publish your website

Droply runs a remote MCP server, so your AI assistant can publish for you. Connect it once, ask for a page or hand it a finished project, and get a live HTTPS link back. The site lands in your own account, and asking again updates it at the same address.

Works on every plan. Your plan's limits apply.

  1. Connect your assistant once

    In Claude, add Droply as a custom connector and approve access on the Droply screen. Claude Code connects with one command, and other assistants use an AI assistant token.

  2. Ask for what you want

    Describe a page, or point Claude Code at a project you have already built. The assistant picks a free address, sends the files and follows the publish until it is live.

  3. Share the link, change it any time

    You get a live HTTPS link on your account. Ask for a change later and the assistant publishes over the same site, so the link you shared keeps working.

Connect it

The server address to give your assistant:

https://droply.host/mcp
  • Claude.ai and Claude Desktop

    In Settings, open Connectors, add a custom connector with this address, and approve access on the Droply screen. Claude's Free plan can add one custom connector.

  • Claude Code

    Run this command in your terminal, then run /mcp inside Claude Code and sign in.

    claude mcp add --transport http droply https://droply.host/mcp
  • Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and other clients

    Create an AI assistant token on your Droply API tokens page and add this address to the client with the header Authorization: Bearer followed by the token. Keep the token in your user settings or an environment variable, never in a project file that could be committed: anyone holding it can replace what your sites show until it expires after 90 days or you revoke it.

What your assistant can do

  • Publish a page or a whole site

    One self-contained HTML page, or a folder of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images and fonts, published as a new site or over one you already have.

  • Pick an address that is free

    It checks a subdomain before creating the site, so a new site does not fail on a name somebody else already has.

  • Follow the publish until it is live

    Publishing takes a few seconds. The assistant checks until the site is live and gives you the link, or tells you what to fix if a file was refused.

  • Only the access you approve

    The connection sees which plan the account is on, and lists and publishes your sites. It cannot delete a site, change a domain or see billing, and you can sign it out from your dashboard at any time.

  • The same checks as every upload

    Files from an assistant go through the same malware scan as a dashboard upload, and Autopilot checks every version that goes live for leaked keys.

  • Your account, your sites

    Everything lands next to the sites you uploaded yourself, with analytics, custom domains and password protection on the plans that include them.

What it does not do

  • It does not build projects. Send the finished files: a project that needs npm install or a build step has to be built first.
  • One publish carries up to 300 files and 8 MB in total, or one page of up to 5 MB. Upload bigger projects as a ZIP from the dashboard.
  • It cannot delete sites, manage custom domains or change billing.
  • An account can publish from an assistant up to 30 times an hour, on top of its plan's own limits.
  • On the Free plan, sites carry a small Droply banner and are not indexed by search engines, the same as any upload.

Frequently asked questions

What is an MCP server?
MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open standard that lets an AI assistant use tools from other services. Droply runs an MCP server with a small set of publishing tools, so your assistant can put a website online in your account instead of handing you files to upload.
Is it free?
Yes. Connecting an assistant works on every Droply plan, including Free. Your plan's usual limits apply, such as how many sites you can have and how much you can store, and an account can publish from an assistant up to 30 times an hour.
Which AI assistants work with it?
Claude.ai, Claude Desktop and Claude Code sign in directly. Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and other assistants that can send a request header connect with an AI assistant token from your dashboard.
Does it work with ChatGPT?
Not through this server yet. ChatGPT has a separate Droply GPT, which publishes single HTML pages through the API and needs a plan with API access.
What can the assistant do in my account?
See which plan the account is on, list your sites, check whether a name is free, publish a page or a folder of files, and follow a publish until it is live. It cannot delete sites, change domains or see billing, and it never receives your name or your full email address. You approve the connection on a Droply screen that shows the account it gets and where access is sent, and you can sign it out at any time.
Can it update a site I already have?
Yes. Ask for a change and the assistant publishes over the same site, so the address stays the same.
Can the site use my own domain?
Yes, on plans that include custom domains. Connect the domain to the site once in your dashboard, and every publish from the assistant appears on it.
My project uses React, Vue or Next.js. Will it work?
Yes, once it is built. The assistant publishes the build output, usually a dist or out folder, because nothing is installed or built on Droply. Claude Code can run your build first and then publish the result.
Do visitors need a Claude account?
No. The result is an ordinary public website on a normal link. Only you need an assistant, to publish it.
