MCP support
SnapHost provides a hosted MCP server at `https://app.snaphost.ai/api/mcp`, using Streamable HTTP and OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. MCP clients can publish and manage pages, configure access, and use data-backed page features.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.

From the project READMESnapHost for AI agents
SnapHost turns a document or a built site into a private, shareable live website. This repository is the public home of its MCP server listing and Claude Code plugin.
The server itself is hosted: https://app.snaphost.ai/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1 with
PKCE and dynamic client registration). There is nothing to run locally and no token to paste; on
first use your browser opens so you can click Authorize.
Install
Any client, one command (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI):
npx snaphost connect
Claude Code plugin (adds the /snaphost:* skills and the connection in one go):
/plugin marketplace add snaphost-ai/snaphost
/plugin install snaphost@snaphost
Cursor: install the SnapHost plugin from the Cursor Marketplace, or Add to Cursor
VS Code: Install in VS Code
Claude Code by hand:
claude mcp add --transport http snaphost https://app.snaphost.ai/api/mcp
Claude on the web or the desktop app: Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, paste the endpoint URL. Claude detects OAuth; leave the defaults and click Add.
What the AI can do
Publish a page or a bundle and get a stable link; update it in place; control who can view it
(public, allowlist, password, expiry); take it offline and back; roll back to an earlier version;
put it on a custom domain; and give the page a data backend (forms, waitlists, RSVPs,
leaderboards) through window.SNAPHOST. The full tool list with read/write/destructive
annotations is at https://snaphost.ai/docs/mcp-server.

server.json: the entry published to the official MCP registry asai.snaphost/snaphost..claude-plugin/marketplace.jsonandplugins/snaphost/: the Claude Code plugin marketplace..cursor-plugin/plugin.json: the same plugin as a Cursor Marketplace listing, sharingplugins/snaphost/skills/.glama.json: maintainers for the Glama listing.
These files are generated from the SnapHost application and refreshed by
sync.yml; the version bumps there whenever a tool, a skill, or a
description changes. Please open issues for problems with the listing or the plugin; the server's
source is not in this repository.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
