# The website builder for Claude Connect PageHub to Claude and ask for the site you want. Claude builds it, you check it, and it goes live on your own domain. You or your client can keep editing it in a visual editor, no AI needed. If you searched for a **Claude website builder**, you probably already know Claude can write a website. PageHub is a **website builder for Claude**: the part that hosts it, puts it on your domain, and lets people edit it later. Here's how to **build a website with Claude** and publish it. ## Can Claude build a website on its own? Yes. Claude can write the code for a whole website. What it doesn't do on its own is run the site after that: the domain, the hosting, the forms, and the edits next month. **Claude chat and artifacts** can write a full page of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from a description, show you a live preview in the chat, and publish the artifact so others can open it. It leaves to you: - Putting it on your own domain. A published artifact lives on a claude.ai link - Saving form submissions or SEO settings - Letting someone else change it without going back to Claude **Claude Code** can build a complete code project on your computer, run it, test it, fix it, and push it to a git repository. It leaves to you: - Hosting. You pick a host, connect the repo, and set up DNS yourself - A way for a non-developer to edit it. Changes mean code, or asking an AI again That's fine for a prototype or a page you share with friends. For a business site, you also need an address people can find, a form that reaches you, and a way to fix a typo without starting a new chat. ## What PageHub adds PageHub is a website builder with an MCP server. Claude uses it the way you'd use the editor: it creates the site, adds pages, and publishes, one tool call at a time. - **A site, not a single file.** Pages, sections, and a theme you can change in one place. Multi-page sites, navigation, and a 404 page. - **Your own domain.** Claude attaches the domain and gives you the DNS records to add at your registrar. SSL certificates are issued for you. The free plan includes 1 domain. - **An editor anyone can use.** Every site opens in a visual editor. Claude sees your edits the next time you ask it for changes. - **Nothing goes live until you publish.** Everything Claude writes lands in a draft. - **Forms, collections, and Stripe.** Contact forms that save submissions, collections you can fill from a CSV, and a Stripe checkout. - **Checks before it ships.** Claude can screenshot any page at phone width and run SEO and accessibility audits. ## Connect PageHub to Claude The hosted server is `https://pagehub.dev/api/mcp`. It works on every PageHub plan, including free, and sends Claude its build rules when it connects. **Claude on the web or desktop** 1. In Claude on the web or desktop, open Settings → Connectors. 2. Click Add custom connector, name it PageHub, and paste the URL below. 3. Click Connect, then sign in to PageHub in the window that opens. Connector URL: `https://pagehub.dev/api/mcp` **Claude Code, in the terminal or VS Code** ``` claude mcp add --transport http PageHub https://pagehub.dev/api/mcp ``` Then start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, and sign in to PageHub in the browser window that opens. ## From one prompt to a live site An example prompt: ``` Use PageHub to build a site for my dog grooming shop, Suds & Paws, in Portland. 3 pages: home, services with prices, and contact with a booking request form. Warm colors, stock photos that fit, friendly copy. Show me a phone screenshot before you publish. When I say go, put it on sudsandpaws.com. ``` What Claude does with it: 1. **Starts the site** (`list_templates`, `create_site`). 2. **Sets the look** (`suggest_palettes`, `set_theme`). It can show 3 palette options in the chat first. 3. **Builds the pages** (`add_page`, `apply_kit_block`, `find_image`). 4. **Checks its own work** (`screenshot_site`, `audit_seo`, `audit_accessibility`) at phone width, and fixes what it finds. 5. **You review the draft.** Nothing is live yet. Ask for changes, or open the editor. 6. **Connects the domain** (`set_domain`, `get_domain_status`) and hands you the exact DNS records to add at your registrar. 7. **Publishes** (`publish_site`) when you say go. The SSL certificate can take a few minutes to arrive. How long it takes depends on the site. The Goalposts site went from nothing to published in 25 minutes (see https://pagehub.dev/about). ## Ways to ship a site you built with Claude These are categories, not specific products. | | Claude artifacts | Claude Code + git + a host | Paste-HTML hosts | AI app builders | Claude + PageHub | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Built by the Claude you already use | Yes | Yes | Claude writes it, you paste it | Some offer a Claude connector | Yes, over MCP | | On your own domain | No, a claude.ai link | Yes, once you set up hosting and DNS | Depends on the host | Depends on the plan | Yes, 1 on the free plan | | What you end up with | One artifact | A code project | An HTML file | An app codebase | A multi-page site in a visual editor | | Someone can edit it without AI | No | Only if they can edit code | Only by editing the HTML | Mostly through prompts or code | Yes, in the visual editor | | Forms that save submissions | No | You build or add one | Depends on the host | Often, with a database | Yes, built in | | Setup | None | Repo, host, build settings, DNS | Copy and paste | An account with the builder | Add a connector and sign in | If you want full control of the code and you're happy running the hosting, Claude Code with a host is a good fit.

On its own, though, it doesn't host the site, connect your domain, or give anyone a way to edit it without AI. With PageHub connected, Claude builds the site inside a website builder, so those parts are handled. ### Can I edit a website Claude built? Yes. Every site Claude builds on PageHub opens in the visual editor. Drag sections around, change colors, swap fonts, and rewrite copy yourself. Claude sees your edits the next time you ask it for changes. ### Is it free? The MCP connection works on every plan, including free. The free plan gives you 1 published site on your own domain, 20 pages per site, unlimited drafts, and no PageHub branding on the live site. Pro is $7 per site a month, or $5 when you pay yearly. ### Does it work with my own domain? Yes. Claude attaches the domain and gives you the DNS records to add at your registrar. Once they're in place, SSL is issued automatically, which can take a few minutes. The free plan includes 1 domain. Each site has one domain. ### Do I need a paid Claude plan? PageHub doesn't check which Claude plan you have. Whether you can add a custom connector in the Claude app depends on your Claude plan, and Anthropic's help center lists which plans include it. Claude Code is another way to connect. ### Is it safe to connect Claude to my site? You sign in through your browser, so you don't paste a password or key into Claude. Everything Claude writes lands in a draft, and the live site doesn't change until someone publishes. Site history keeps past versions, so you can restore a page or the whole site. ### Are sites Claude builds on PageHub good for SEO? Pages render to HTML on the server, and a site on a custom domain gets its own sitemap.xml and robots.txt. Claude can set page titles and descriptions and run an SEO audit that flags missing titles, headings, and alt text, then fix them. ### Does it work with AI apps other than Claude? Yes. Cursor, VS Code's built-in agent, and any agent that speaks MCP can use the same server. A site one agent started, another can keep editing. --- Claude is a trademark of Anthropic, PBC.
