Official [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server for the [Hostsmith](https://hostsmith.net) hosting platform.
**Static hosting for agents - give it a file, get a live URL.** Claude Code shipping an HTML report. Cursor previewing a generated demo. Claude Desktop publishing a one-pager. One MCP call → public HTTPS URL in seconds. No repo, no CI, no build step. Custom domains, private sites, EU or US data residency.
### Why Hostsmith
- **Artifact-first.** No repo, no build config - drop a file (or have the agent generate one), get a URL.
- **Built for agents.** MCP-native, OAuth-scoped, structured tool descriptions agents can chain.
- **EU or US data residency.** Pick where the user's data lives, architecturally - not via a checkbox.
## Tools
| Tool | Description |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `list_sites` | List all sites in your account for a given data partition |
| `get_site` | Get details of a specific site |
| `create_site` | Create a new site |
| `delete_site` | Delete a site |
| `list_domains` | List available domains (shared and custom) |
| `get_account` | Get account info, subscription plan, and usage |
| `deploy_files` | Deploy inline file contents to a site |
| `deploy_create_upload` | Start a direct upload for binaries / large files |
| `deploy_finalize` | Commit a deploy started with `deploy_create_upload` |
## Usage
Authentication is via OAuth 2.0. Static access tokens are not supported.
### Claude Desktop
Open **Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector** and enter:
```
https://mcp.hostsmith.net/mcp
```
Claude Desktop runs the OAuth flow in your browser to authorize the connector against your Hostsmith account.
### Stdio (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, Zed)
Add this entry to your MCP client's config:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"hostsmith": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@hostsmith/mcp-server"]
}
}
}
```
The first tool call triggers an OAuth flow in your browser to authorize the server against your Hostsmith account.
### Remote URL (other clients)
Any MCP client that supports remote Streamable HTTP transport can point directly at the hosted server:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"hostsmith": {
"url": "https://mcp.hostsmith.net/mcp"
}
}
}
```
The client handles the OAuth flow automatically - you'll be redirected to Hostsmith to authorize access.
### Cursor (one-click install)
[](https://cursor.com/en/install-mcp?name=Hostsmith&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5ob3N0c21pdGgubmV0L21jcCJ9)
Click the badge to add the remote Hostsmith server (`https://mcp.hostsmith.net/mcp`) to Cursor. The first tool call triggers OAuth in your browser.
### Local HTTP (self-hosted)
Run the server in HTTP mode and have your MCP client perform OAuth against it:
```bash
npx @hostsmith/mcp-server http
```
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"hostsmith": {
"url": "http://localhost:3100/mcp"
}
}
}
```
## Environment variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `HOSTSMITH_URL` | `https://hostsmith.net` | Hostsmith app URL (OAuth endpoints). |
| `HOSTSMITH_API_DOMAIN` | - | Override the upstream API domain across both partitions. The server prepends `us.api.` and `eu.api.` to the value you set. Example: `HOSTSMITH_API_DOMAIN=staging.example.com` routes calls to `https://us.api.staging.example.com` and `https://eu.api.staging.example.com`. Use this to point at a staging or proxied API host. |
| `HOSTSMITH_BASE_URL` | - | Override the API base URL with a single fixed value, bypassing partition selection entirely. |
| `PORT` | `3100` | HTTP server port. |
| `MCP_BASE_URL` | `http://localhost:$PORT` | Public URL of the MCP server, used in OAuth metadata. |
## Network access
The MCP transport and OAuth flow run in your client's app process and need no agent-sandbox configuration - if your MCP client connected, those paths are working.
The one place sandboxed agents commonly fail is the **upload PUT** during `deploy_create_upload` + `deploy_finalize`: the bytes go from the agent's shell to the partition API host. From the agent terminal, allow outbound HTTPS (port 443) to:
- `us.api.hostsmith.net` (for sites in the `us` partition)
- `eu.api.hostsmith.net` (for sites in the `eu` partition)
Sandbox-specific snippets (Cursor `sandbox.json`, Claude Code `settings.json`, Codex `config.toml`, generic firewall guidance) live in the [Network access](https://hostsmith.net/docs/mcp/network-access) docs.
## Troubleshooting
- **Tool calls return 401**: the OAuth session expired. Reconnect from your MCP client to re-authorize.
- **OAuth redirect loops**: confirm `MCP_BASE_URL` matches the URL your MCP client uses to reach the server.
- **Wrong partition**: tool calls accept an explicit `partition` arg; if you omit it, the partition is inferred from your access token.
- **Upload PUT fails (DNS, refused, proxy, timeout)**: the agent's shell can't reach the partition API host. See [Network access](https://hostsmith.net/docs/mcp/network-access).
- **Inspect the install**: `npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx -y @hostsmith/mcp-server http` to browse tools interactively.
