Netlify MCP Server

Netlify MCP Server follows the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable code agents to use the Netlify API and CLI—so they can create new projects, build, deploy, and manage your Netlify resources using natural language prompts.

Overview

The Model Context Protocol is an emerging standard protocol for connecting code agents with MCP servers, allowing them to manage resources and perform tasks using natural language. The Netlify MCP Server acts as a bridge, providing API access, CLI tools, prompts, and more for your agents.

You can connect to the Netlify MCP Server using a variety of MCP clients, including:

Windsurf
Cursor
Claude
Copilot (VSCode)
Cline
Warp

MCP Configuration

For the production MCP server, use the following configuration:

Editors with one-click install:

use the following link in your browser if link fails to render or open: goose://extension?cmd=npx&arg=-y&arg=%40netlify%2Fmcp&id=netlify&name=Netlify&description=Build%2C%20deploy%2C%20and%20manage%20sites%20with%20Netlify's%20official%20MCP%20server.

Configuration for MCP config files:

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

For local development, see Set up local MCP configuration.

Troubleshooting

Node Version

Use Node.js 22 or higher for best results.
If you use nvm, run:
```
nvm install 22
nvm use 22
```

Netlify authentication troubleshooting

If you run into authentication issues, you can temporarily add a Netlify Personal Access Token (PAT) to your MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "netlify-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@netlify/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "NETLIFY_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "YOUR-PAT-VALUE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Do not commit your PAT to your repository! Once resolved, remove your PAT from the config.

Generating a New Personal Access Token (PAT)

In the Netlify dashboard, select your user icon.
Go to User settings > OAuth > New access token.
Copy your token and add it (temporarily) to your MCP config as above.
Restart or refresh your MCP client.
