Supported Netlify tools

Every operation in Netlify's public API a team member's token can call, from sites, deploys and builds to forms, DNS, split tests, add-ons, databases and agent runs, with the everyday tools loaded by default and the rest one search away.

171 tools in the full catalog: 76 read and 95 write. 35 load by default, and the rest are found with tool search.

Connect Netlify to Claude, ChatGPT and Claude Code

Credentials off one Netlify screen, then an endpoint your client signs into. Nothing to deploy, and nothing to install.

In Netlify open User settings, Applications, Personal access tokens and choose New access token. Name it, pick an expiry and copy it into PopMCP. If your login belongs to several teams, you pick the team each connection is for, and PopMCP locks the connection to it.

Personal access token••••••••••••3f7a

ConnectionVerified

Drop the PopMCP URL into Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex or any other supported client. It signs in through PopMCP with OAuth, so your Netlify credential never leaves the server.

Ask for something harmless before the agent changes anything. Writes run as soon as it calls them, so confirm it reads the right account first.

FAQ

Netlify MCP server questions

What teams ask before putting Netlify behind an AI client.

What does PopMCP need to connect Netlify?

A Netlify personal access token. In Netlify click your avatar, then User settings, Applications, Personal access tokens, New access token. Give it a name, choose when it expires and select Generate token. Netlify shows the token once, so copy it straight into PopMCP. If your team uses SAML single sign-on, tick Allow access to my SAML-based Netlify team when you create it. Resetting your Netlify password cancels every token, so you would connect again with a new one.

Can I connect more than one Netlify team?

Yes. After the token is checked PopMCP lists every team your login belongs to and you choose which ones to connect, each into its own PopMCP workspace. A connection stays bound to the team you picked: the AI never has to name it, and a site, deploy, form or DNS zone that belongs to another team is refused before anything is sent.

Can the AI see my environment variable values?

Not by default. Every answer shows the variable names, contexts and scopes but hides the values, along with database connection strings, AI Gateway tokens and the site password. reveal_secret shows one value when you ask, and only on a connection allowed to make changes. Variables you mark secret in Netlify are write-only for everyone, so only their local development value can be read back.

Can the AI publish a site for me?

Yes. deploy_files takes the files' paths and contents (text, or base64 for images), uploads only the ones Netlify does not already have and waits until the deploy is ready. It makes a preview at its own URL unless you ask for production, which replaces the live site. A deploy holds up to 500 files and 25 MB. Sites linked to a Git repository rebuild with start_site_build, and restore_deploy puts any earlier deploy back live.

Which Netlify events can PopMCP watch?

14 of them. Through a notification hook PopMCP registers with the connection's own token: a deploy started, succeeded or failed, a deploy locked or unlocked, a deploy request pending, approved or rejected, and a new form submission. By comparing snapshots: a new site, a new form, a new DNS zone, a new team member and a new audit log event.

How many Netlify tools load into my AI client?

35 load by default, five of them one-call tools for publishing files, waiting for a deploy, a site overview, setting an environment variable and revealing a secret. The rest of the 166 operations stay searchable, from split tests, snippets and add-ons to dev servers, databases, agent runs and deploy keys: 74 read and 92 write. A read-only connection keeps every write tool from running.

Do I have to run or host the Netlify MCP server myself?

No. PopMCP hosts it and gives you a Streamable HTTP MCP URL. There is nothing to deploy, no callback URL to register, and no infrastructure to keep running or patch.

Which AI clients can use this MCP server?

Any client that supports a remote Streamable HTTP MCP server: Claude Desktop, Claude Web, Claude Code, ChatGPT custom connectors, Codex and the Codex CLI, OpenCode and Z.ai's ZCode, as well as editors such as Cursor, Windsurf and Zed. Your client signs in to PopMCP with OAuth; the provider credential never leaves the server.

How do I connect Netlify to Claude Code?

Connect Netlify in PopMCP first, then run claude mcp add --transport http popmcp https://app.popmcp.com/mcp in a terminal. Inside Claude Code, run /mcp and sign in to PopMCP in the browser window it opens, ticking Netlify on the consent screen. The Netlify tools are then available in that session, and no Netlify credential is stored on your machine.

Why do only 35 of the 171 tools load by default?

Loading 171 tool definitions into every conversation burns context before the work starts. PopMCP loads a curated 35-tool set covering the everyday workflows and keeps the rest searchable, so your AI pulls a specialist tool only when a task needs it. Every tool stays searchable, and on Scale the owner can load the full catalog for a teammate's connection.

What is the difference between a tool and a trigger?

A tool is something your AI calls, and there are 171 here. A trigger is something PopMCP watches for you: 14 Netlify events that can start work on the PopMCP side. Triggers never enter your AI client's context, and none of them ask you to paste a callback URL into Netlify.
