Summary

Netlify's official MCP server, wrapping the Netlify API and CLI so agents can create projects, deploy, manage secrets, extensions and access controls.

Features

  • Create, manage and deploy Netlify projects from a prompt
  • Create and manage environment variables and secrets
  • Modify project access controls
  • Install and uninstall Netlify extensions
  • Enable and manage form submissions
  • Fetch user and team information
  • Backed by both the Netlify API and the Netlify CLI

Installation

Set up this MCP server in your favorite AI agent — copy a ready-made configuration below.

Any MCP-compatible agent

Most agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and more) read a standard mcpServers configuration.

  1. Open your agent's MCP configuration file.
  2. Merge the snippet below into it.
  3. Restart the agent — the "Netlify" tools will be available.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "netlify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@netlify/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Description

Netlify's official MCP server gives a coding agent the ability to actually ship — not just write the site, but create the project, deploy it, and manage what happens after. It bridges to both the Netlify API and the Netlify CLI, so the surface an agent gets is close to what a developer has at the terminal.

What agents can do with it

Create, manage, and deploy Netlify projects. Modify access controls to tighten a project's security. Install and uninstall Netlify extensions. Fetch user and team information. Enable and manage form submissions. Create and manage environment variables and secrets.

That last pair matters more than it sounds: the gap between a working local build and a working deploy is usually an environment variable, and an agent that can read the deploy failure but not set the variable stops one step short of useful.

Compatible clients

Netlify lists Windsurf, Cursor, Claude, Copilot in VS Code, Cline, Warp, and LM Studio among supported clients, with one-click install deeplinks published for several of them. Configuration is the standard npx -y @netlify/mcp stdio form, so anything MCP-capable works.

Requirements

Node.js 22 or later and a Netlify account. Installing the Netlify CLI globally (npm install -g netlify-cli) is recommended for the best experience, since a number of the server's capabilities are CLI-backed. Published as @netlify/mcp on npm under the ISC licence.
