Details
From the project READMECustom Website Editor
A hosted Model Context Protocol server that lets a non-technical pastor manage and update their professionally-built church website in plain English — no code, no logins, no jargon. Built and operated by Pastor Eli (elijahdesent.com).
It connects to the live website's repository, so any change you describe is made for you and ships to the real site within about 30 seconds.
What it does
- Edit your site — fix typos, reword a welcome message, update a service time, swap a heading, add a paragraph or a whole new page. It finds the right place, makes the exact edit, and publishes it with a clear, human-readable note.
- Photos & videos — add photos to a page; videos and large images are hosted on fast permanent storage and dropped onto the page you choose.
- Undo & history — see your recent updates in plain language and safely roll the live site back to how it was. Nothing is ever lost.
- Deploy checks — confirm a change went live, and if something breaks the build, it explains what happened in plain English and fixes it.
- Custom domains — connect your own domain (e.g.
yourchurch.org) with the exact settings to enter at your registrar. - Hosting, live chat & analytics — start monthly hosting, set up a live website chat widget, and see traffic, top pages, referrers, and day-by-day trends.
- Website scoring — score any church website against the Church Website Score rubric.
Connection
- Transport: Streamable HTTP
- Endpoint:
https://www.elijahdesent.com/api/mcp - Auth: OAuth (discovered automatically from the endpoint)
