Run Your Whole Site From Inside Claude.ai
One Claude chat, 70 MCP tools, every day-to-day operation. How the connector flattens running a website into the same conversation that built it.
Sitelas Team
Most website tools split into two worlds: a builder for setup, a dashboard for operations. Sitelas collapses both into a Claude.ai chat. Here's what that actually looks like.
What ships in the connector
Sitelas exposes 70 MCP tools to Claude.ai over OAuth 2.1. Once installed, every feature in the product becomes a Claude verb — site creation, content editing, brand changes, scheduled publishing, form submissions, contact records, analytics, custom domains, and integrations. Site creation and editing run on Claude's own tokens via your claude.ai subscription; Sitelas charges zero AI credits on this path.
Installation (one minute)
- Open claude.ai → Settings → Connectors.
- Add custom connector, URL:
https://sitelas.com/api/mcp. - Sign in to Sitelas when prompted. PKCE-protected OAuth 2.1 — 1-hour access tokens, 30-day refresh tokens that rotate on every use.
Day 0: Site creation
"Build a bakery site for Midnight Oven, Brooklyn — sourdough plus coffee, warm palette, contact-only."
Claude calls select_template_for_brief with structured arguments (audience, register, conversion goal). The tool returns the top three scored archetypes. Claude picks one, clones it via create_site_from_template, then runs bulk passes — patch_nodes for copy, replace_images_from_search for hero shots. Live at midnight-oven.sitelas.com in about a minute.
Day 3: Submissions and contacts
"Anyone reach out this week?"
Claude calls list_submissions — three messages. Sarah asks about gluten-free; Mike wants catering. "Draft a reply to Mike about Saturday catering." Claude calls draft_reply_to_submission; the draft lands in your dashboard inbox ready to send.
Day 5: Analytics
"How's traffic been?"
Claude calls get_analytics(range_days: 7) and top_pages. You get pageviews, unique sessions, top paths, top referrers, and a daily timeseries — in chat. No dashboard tab needed.
Day 7: Scheduled publishing
"Publish a 'Closed Thursday' banner next Wednesday at 9am."
Claude calls schedule_publish with a banner-bar patch and a future run_at. A Vercel cron flips the live page over at the scheduled time.
Day 21: Cloning a layout
"Clone the layout of ra.co and adapt it for my warehouse-party series."
Claude calls capture_url — a Fly.io Playwright service returns a full-page screenshot, simplified DOM, and detected brand tokens. Claude's vision reads the screenshot, picks the closest events-category archetype, and composes a replica in-session.
What's intentionally not in the connector
Stripe Connect (we don't touch the money), native commerce or bookings (use stripe-payment-link and calendly-embed instead), broadcast email sending (use Mailchimp / ConvertKit / Beehiiv directly). Anything Claude already has a native connector for — Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Microsoft 365 — Sitelas leaves alone; it shows up as a verb-rich endpoint those existing connectors can call into.
One subscription, two surfaces
You can also build and edit from yourname.sitelas.com/edit with the in-editor AI chat (Gemini 2.5 Pro). It calls the same MCP tools Claude does — same fixture, same authoring layer. Same site, just a different chat panel.
