What is netlify-mcp-servers?

Build, deploy, and secure Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers on Netlify. Use whenever the task involves creating an MCP server, exposing an app or API to AI agents as MCP tools, letting Claude / Cursor / Claude Code call a custom remote server, or adding MCP tools to an existing Netlify site. Covers the MCP SDK + Streamable HTTP transport on a Netlify Function, authentication (single shared secret vs per-user API keys with Netlify Identity), read/write safety, file uploads, and connecting clients. Use even when the user just says "MCP", "tool server for an agent", or "let an AI use my API".

Netlify MCP Servers

An MCP server exposes tools (and optionally resources/prompts) that an AI client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor — can call. On Netlify, a remote MCP server is just one Netlify Function that speaks the MCP protocol over HTTP. This skill gets you a working, secure server and connects a client to it.

"Netlify MCP" means two different things — make sure you're building the right one. Netlify publishes its own hosted MCP server that lets an AI client operate the Netlify platform on your behalf — create projects, trigger deploys, manage env vars and infrastructure through your Netlify account. You don't write that one; you point your client at Netlify's hosted MCP server per Netlify's MCP-server docs (and see the netlify-agent-runner skill for running agents against your site). This skill is the other thing: building your own MCP server — an endpoint that exposes your app's tools and data to an agent — hosted on a Netlify Function. If the ask is "let my agent manage my Netlify sites/deploys/env vars," that's the hosted Netlify MCP server, not a function you write.

The same setup works two ways:

  • Standalone server — a repo whose only job is the MCP endpoint (e.g. wrapping a third-party API).
  • Added to an existing app — one more function alongside your site. Have its tools call the same service/data layer your UI and REST routes already use, so logic isn't duplicated.

Before you build

Decide one thing up front, because it shapes the auth code:

  • Who calls this server? Just you (a personal/single-user server) → use a single shared secret. Multiple people, each acting as themselves → use per-user API keys backed by Netlify Identity. See authentication.

If you're not sure, start with the single shared secret — it's a few lines and you can layer per-user keys on later. I'll default to that unless you say otherwise.
