Cloud and hosting - official Netlify server

Netlify MCP server

MCP server that lets code agents use the Netlify API and CLI to create, build, deploy and manage Netlify projects, environment variables, forms, extensions and access controls. Available as a hosted remote server or locally via the @netlify/mcp npm package. Netlify hosts it at https://netlify-mcp.netlify.app/mcp, or you can run @netlify/mcp (npm) locally with OAuth or API key auth.

Notes and caveats

  • Netlify recommends the remote server; local option is npx -y add-mcp "npx -y @netlify/mcp" or the README config {"mcpServers":{"netlify":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@netlify/mcp"]}}}.
  • Cursor and VS Code are documented only as one-click install deeplinks, so no verbatim snippet is recorded.
  • Remote auth is an authorization prompt on first use; local troubleshooting allows a temporary NETLIFY_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN env var.
  • Requires Node 22+ (docs recommend Node 24+).
  • Also offered as Claude's Netlify connector and a ChatGPT app.
  • License ISC per package.json; no LICENSE file found in the repo.
  • Latest release mcp 1.19.0 (npm, 2026-10-13).
  • Tool list not published in docs or README.
  • The old docs URL /build/build-with-ai/netlify-mcp-server/ redirects to the agent setup overview.
