netlify/netlify-mcpAuthor: Netlify

Install

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "netlify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@netlify/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Works in any MCP client. Cursor, VS Code, LM Studio and Goose have one-click buttons in the README.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The server gives the agent access to the Netlify API and CLI. Through it the agent can create a project, build and deploy a site and change access controls. It installs and removes Netlify extensions and reads user and team details. It also enables form submissions and manages a project's environment variables and secrets.

Who it is for. For frontend developers hosting on Netlify who want to deploy from their agent.

Good fit when

  • You want to publish a site the agent built to Netlify without manual steps
  • You need to add or change project environment variables
  • You want to enable forms or extensions on an existing site

Not a fit when

  • Your site is not hosted on Netlify
  • The agent must not change production projects and secrets

Example request

Create a new Netlify project, deploy the current build to it and then add an API_URL variable

Limitations

Requires a Netlify account and Node.js 22 or newer. Authentication goes through Netlify; on failures the README suggests temporarily passing a personal access token. Access to Netlify from Russia without a VPN is not guaranteed.

How to disable. Remove the netlify block from your editor's MCP configuration. If you added a personal access token, revoke it in Netlify settings.

Security check

  • Deploys sites and changes project settings in an external service
  • Manages environment variables and secrets

README in short

The README lists what the agent can do on Netlify: projects, deploys, access controls, extensions, forms, variables and secrets. It has one-click install buttons for Cursor, VS Code, LM Studio and Goose and a generic npx JSON snippet. The troubleshooting section covers Node.js version issues and how to temporarily add a personal access token.

FAQ

Do I need a token?

Usually not, auth goes through Netlify. The README suggests adding a token temporarily if auth fails and removing it afterwards.

Is Netlify CLI required?

Not strictly, but the README recommends installing it globally for the best experience.
