The connector
Sitelas is a remote MCP server, so an AI agent can build and run your sites in natural conversation. In Claude it is one click; every other client takes a few lines of config:
- Open Sitelas in Claude’s connector directory and choose Add.
- Sign in to Sitelas (Google) and approve. Claude registers itself automatically — there’s no client ID to enter.
Everything else reads a config file rather than the directory. Point it at https://sitelas.com/api/mcp and sign in the same way — the exact shape differs by client:
claude mcp add --transport http sitelas https://sitelas.com/api/mcp{
"mcpServers": {
"sitelas": { "url": "https://sitelas.com/api/mcp" }
}
}{
"servers": {
"sitelas": { "type": "http", "url": "https://sitelas.com/api/mcp" }
}
}{
"mcpServers": {
"sitelas": { "serverUrl": "https://sitelas.com/api/mcp" }
}
}{
"mcpServers": {
"sitelas": { "httpUrl": "https://sitelas.com/api/mcp" }
}
}Using a different MCP client? Sitelas is listed on Smithery, which generates the right config for a much longer list of clients.
Two ways to authenticate, same account, same tools:
Interactive connector
- Who
- You, in Claude / a browser
- How
- OAuth 2.1 — sign in once, approve. Claude registers itself (DCR).
- When
- Everyday use with a human present.
API key (headless)
- Who
- An agent, script, or automation
- How
- A bearer key (stl_pat_…) you generate in Account → API keys.
- When
- Unattended / programmatic — no browser.
What your agent can do
The connector exposes tools across the full lifecycle: discover templates; create, edit, and publish sites (surgical patches, brand & palette changes, image search, URL cloning); manage content collections; read submissions, contacts, and analytics; schedule jobs; and configure custom domains. Destructive actions (like deleting a site) are annotated and require explicit confirmation.
Example prompts
Tool reference
The connector’s tools are the same whether you drive them from a chat or an agent with an API key. Here they are by category:
| Category | What it does | Key tools |
|---|---|---|
| Discover | Browse templates, section archetypes, and primitives; score a template against a brief. | list_site_templates · select_template_for_brief · list_primitives |
| Read | List sites and inspect one — pages, theme, versions, and what changed. | list_sites · get_site · get_site_overview · get_version_diff |
| Create & edit | Create a site from a template, then customize — surgical patches, brand & palette, image search, URL cloning. | create_site_from_template · patch_nodes · apply_brand · apply_palette · replace_images_from_search · capture_url |
| Pages & structure | Add, delete, duplicate, and reorder pages; edit per-page SEO. | add_page · delete_page · duplicate_page · update_seo |
| Content collections | Create collections (blog, projects, listings) and manage their items. | create_collection · add_content_item · edit_content_item · delete_content_item |
| Publish & version | Preview a draft, publish whole-site or per-URL, unpublish, one-step revert, diff versions. | get_preview · publish_site · unpublish_site · revert_site · get_version_diff |
| Inbox & CRM | Read and reply to submissions; view contacts and their activity. | list_submissions · read_submission · draft_reply_to_submission · list_contacts |
| Analytics | Read pageviews, top paths, and recent activity. | get_analytics · top_pages · summarize_recent_activity |
| Schedule | Schedule a publish or unpublish for later; list and cancel jobs. | schedule_publish · list_scheduled_jobs · cancel_scheduled_job |
| Domains & SEO | Connect and verify a custom domain; set site-wide search settings, language, business details (address, type, profiles) and Search Console verification tags; connect your Google Analytics, Tag Manager, Meta Pixel or Plausible; generate a sitemap. | set_custom_domain · verify_custom_domain · update_seo · set_tracking_codes · generate_sitemap |
| Design review | Self-review a site against design and health checks before shipping. | critique_design · site_health_check · verify_site |
Destructive tools (like delete_site or delete_page) are annotated destructive and require an explicit confirmation before they run.
API keys (headless access)
The connect flow above uses interactive OAuth — a human signs in. For an agent, script, or automation that runs without a browser, create an API key in Dashboard → Account → API keys (shown once) and send it as a bearer header to /api/mcp. No OAuth round-trip.
