The website builder MCP server

Connect Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client to PageHub. Your agent builds a real site in a draft, checks it in a browser, and publishes it to your domain. You or your client can keep editing it in the visual editor, no AI needed.

Claude Code

  1. Run this in your terminal.
  2. Start Claude Code, type /mcp, pick PageHub, and sign in in the browser window that opens.
terminal
claude mcp add --transport http PageHub https://pagehub.dev/api/mcp

Cursor

  1. Click Add to Cursor. Or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project, or .cursor/mcp.json for one.
  2. Cursor asks you to sign in to PageHub the first time it connects.
Add to Cursor
mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "PageHub": {
      "url": "https://pagehub.dev/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code or any other agent

  1. In VS Code, click Install in VS Code.
  2. For any other agent, paste this prompt. It adds PageHub to its own settings and tells you if it needs you to restart or approve anything.
Install in VS Code
setup prompt
Set up the PageHub MCP server for me, then connect to it.

- Name: PageHub
- URL: https://pagehub.dev/api/mcp
- Transport: Streamable HTTP (hosted, nothing to install)
- Auth: OAuth. Start the sign-in and give me the link to approve in my browser. No API key needed. If you can't do OAuth, send the header "Authorization: Bearer <key>" with my key from https://pagehub.dev/dashboard/api-key instead.

Add it to your own MCP settings. If I need to restart you, reload a window, or approve something to finish connecting, tell me exactly what to click. Once you're connected, call list_sites and tell me what you can see. PageHub sends its own build instructions when you connect, so follow those.

Client can't sign in through the browser? Send the header Authorization: Bearer <key> with a key from your API key page. Once connected, PageHub sends its build rules to the agent automatically, so there's no prompt file to keep in sync.

How it works

Your agent talks to PageHub over MCP. PageHub keeps the site, the draft, the hosting, and the domain.

1

Your agent connects

It signs in as you and gets PageHub's build rules on connect.

2

It builds in a draft

Every write lands in the draft. The live site keeps serving the old version.

3

It checks the result

screenshot_site renders the draft in a real browser, at desktop width and at 390px for phones.

4

It publishes

Nothing goes live until publish_site runs. The agent is told to ask you first.

5

It connects your domain

set_domain returns the DNS records to add at your registrar. SSL is issued once they check out.

6

People keep editing

The site opens in the visual editor. The agent reads the draft, so it sees your edits next time.

Example session

One request, from an empty account to a live site on your own domain. The tool calls are the ones the server actually runs.

example session
  1. YouI just bought mossandfern.co. I need a one-page site for my plant shop with a contact form. Show me before it goes live.
  2. list_presets# looks for a calm, green theme
  3. create_site# new site named Moss & Fern
  4. set_theme# applies the nature-green preset
  5. search_blocks# finds hero, services, hours, and contact blocks
  6. apply_kit_block# places each block with your shop's copy
  7. find_image# picks plant photos with working URLs
  8. screenshot_site# desktop and 390px phone shots of the draft
  9. AgentHere's the draft on desktop and phone. Want any changes before it goes live?
  10. YouLooks good. Put it on my domain.
  11. set_domain# attaches mossandfern.co and returns its DNS records
  12. AgentAdd these DNS records at your registrar, then tell me when you're done.
  13. get_domain_status# confirms the records are in place
  14. publish_site# makes the draft live
  15. AgentIt's live at mossandfern.co. The certificate can take a few minutes.

Auth, limits, and safety

What the server checks on every call, and what stops an agent from changing a live site by accident.

Browser sign-in
OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration and PKCE, so your client registers itself and you approve it in the browser. Access tokens start with ph_at_, expire, and are refreshed by the client.
API keys
For clients without OAuth, send Authorization: Bearer ph_… with a key from your API key page. PageHub stores keys hashed and shows the full key once.
Rate limit
120 requests per minute per token. Past that, the server answers 429. Wait a minute and try again.
Request size
Request bodies can be up to 5 MB. For large images, pass a public link to upload_image as imageUrl instead of the file data.
Drafts until you publish
Every write goes to the draft. Visitors keep seeing the published version until publish_site runs, and the agent is told to ask before publishing a site unless you asked it to.
Undo
Site history keeps earlier versions of the site, so you can restore one from the dashboard. The free plan keeps 15.
Plans
MCP works on every plan, including free. Plan limits still apply to what the tools do. For example, the free plan has 20 pages per site and 1 custom domain. See pricing.
Pin a site per request
Stateless clients can send x-pagehub-site-id so every call targets one site without calling select_site first.

PageHub vs Webflow, Wix, Framer, and Duda MCP servers

If your sites already live on one of these platforms, use that platform's server. PageHub fits when you want any agent to build a new site, host it, and hand it to people who edit without AI.

ServerHow you connectWorth knowing
PageHubRemote URL with browser sign-inCreates sites from nothing, keeps every write in a draft until publish_site, and attaches your own domain.
WixRemote endpoint, or an npx configBuilt around Wix sites and Wix business features.
WebflowWebflow's MCP serverIts docs list Node 22.3+ as a requirement. Some operations, like snapshots and reading your selection, need the Designer open with the Bridge App.
Framernpx @framer/agent setupChanges go to a branch before you publish. The community Framer MCP plugin only works while the project is open.
DudaDuda's MCP server (beta)Manages, publishes, and unpublishes existing sites, blogs, and stores. Its docs don't say whether it can create a site, and warn that changes are permanent.

From each vendor's public MCP docs, September 2026. Check their docs for changes.

For agencies

Build client sites with your agent, then hand them over to clients who edit them in the visual editor.

  • duplicate_site copies a site you've built as the starting point for a new client. The domain and published state aren't copied.
  • invite_site_member adds your client as an owner, editor, or viewer. Editors change content but can't manage members or billing. Free allows 1 collaborator per site; Pro and up allow unlimited.
  • set_portal wraps a site in a portal, such as a client review or a sales banner.
  • A second server, https://pagehub.dev/api/mcp/agency, handles the business side: leads, clients, and invoices. It uses an API key, not browser sign-in.

Putting client sites under your own brand? See the white-label setup.

Troubleshooting

The PageHub tools don't show up
Check the URL is exactly https://pagehub.dev/api/mcp, then restart the client or reload its window. In Claude Code, run /mcp to see whether PageHub is connected.
The sign-in window never opened
Your client may not support OAuth. Send Authorization: Bearer <key> with a key from your API key page instead.
Calls fail with 429
The token went over 120 requests in a minute. Wait a minute. For many small edits, ask the agent to use patch_site_bulk, which applies them in one call.
Calls fail with 413
The request was over 5 MB. For images, upload by link with imageUrl.
The agent says no site is selected
Ask it to run list_sites and then select_site, or to pass the site id with each call.
My changes aren't on the live site
They're in the draft. Ask the agent to run publish_site.
The domain still shows as pending
The DNS records aren't in place yet, or haven't spread. Ask the agent to run get_domain_status and compare its records with your registrar's. The SSL certificate can take a few minutes after that. Attaching a domain doesn't publish, so run publish_site too.

Still stuck? Email support@pagehub.dev and we'll help you get connected.

Questions about the MCP server

Setup, cost, and what an agent can and can't do on its own.

It's a server that AI agents connect to over the Model Context Protocol to build websites. PageHub's server gives an agent 85 tools to create a site, edit its pages and theme, check it in a browser, publish it, and attach a custom domain.

Connect your agent

Add the URL, sign in once, and ask for a site. It stays a draft until you publish.
