Publish a website from Claude Code with Sitehold

Updated 1 November 2026

Short answer: run claude mcp add --transport http sitehold https://accounts.sitehold.app/mcp, sign in with /mcp, then ask Claude Code to deploy your build output to Sitehold. It checks the preview and publishes.

1. Add the server

claude mcp add --transport http sitehold https://accounts.sitehold.app/mcp

Start Claude Code, type /mcp, choose sitehold and sign in to Sitehold in the browser window that opens.

2. Build, then deploy

Sitehold hosts the static output of your build, not your source. Ask:

Build the site and deploy the output folder to Sitehold as a new site called "docs". Send me the preview link.

Claude Code can send files directly, or pack the output folder into one .tar.gz archive and upload it with curl, which suits bigger sites. One version holds up to 100 files and 5 MB (8 MB compressed as an archive).

3. Publish

The first time, connect your domain before publishing: Connect your domain. Then ask Claude Code to publish, and the site is live. To sign off on each publish yourself, see Approve publishes yourself.

Tips

Paths are served as uploaded: /pricing serves pricing.html or pricing/index.html, and a root 404.html becomes your not-found page.
Keep your source in Git. Sitehold keeps the live version and your latest drafts, not a history and not your repository.
A site can live under a path of a domain, such as example.com/docs. Use relative URLs in that case.
