Netlify MCP: Documentation

Connection

npx -y @netlify/mcp (stdio). Requires Node.js 22 or newer. Authorization is a Personal Access Token, created under User settings → Applications in a Netlify account and passed via the NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN env var. Configs for Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code are in the github.com/netlify/netlify-mcp README.

Tools

The tools cover a site's full management cycle:

• Project creation and setup — new site, repo linking, build settings.
• Deployment — trigger a deploy, check status, roll back to a previous version.
• Environment variables — read, add, update, delete.
• Extensions — install and configure Netlify add-ons (edge functions, image CDN and more).
• Forms — view submitted forms and their settings.

Agent flow

"Deploy the current project as a new site on Netlify", "add an API_URL environment variable to my-site", "show recent submissions to the contact form", "roll back my-site's deploy to the previous version".

Pricing

The MCP server is free; hosting and building sites on Netlify is billed per the platform's plans (there's a free Starter plan with traffic and build-minute limits).
