Details
From the project READMEBrightSite MCP Server
The official Model Context Protocol server for BrightSite — connect AI assistants like Claude to manage your websites, pages, blog posts, components, forms, media, and analytics.
Endpoint
https://onbrightsite.com/api/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP.
Authentication
The server supports two authentication methods. Most modern MCP clients will negotiate OAuth automatically; clients that don't can fall back to a Bearer token.
OAuth 2.1 (recommended)
OAuth-capable clients (Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Claude Desktop with OAuth, etc.) discover the auth flow automatically via /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource. Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591) is supported — no manual app setup needed.
Bearer token
For clients that don't support OAuth, generate a personal API key:
- Sign in at onbrightsite.com
- Go to Settings → MCP Keys
- Create a new key (format:
bs_...) - Configure your client with:
{
"mcpServers": {
"brightsite": {
"url": "https://onbrightsite.com/api/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}

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.
