MCP support
The MCP server exposes Plyo project and release operations as tools to MCP clients, including project management, checkpoints, publishing and backups.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
npx -y plyo-mcpPLYO_TOKENSecretPlyo AI key (create in the dashboard: Settings > AI keys)Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Details
From the project READMEplyo-mcp
MCP server for Plyo — the home for AI-built projects. Every version saved, one click to undo, one click to publish, plus a security check before going live, visitor stats, health monitoring and database backups. Built for people who build with AI and don't code; this server is how their AI does the technical part.
Setup
Claude Code, one line:
claude mcp add plyo -e PLYO_TOKEN=plyo_xxx -- npx plyo-mcp
Any other MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"plyo": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["plyo-mcp"],
"env": { "PLYO_TOKEN": "plyo_xxx" }
}
}
}
PLYO_TOKEN is an AI key from the Plyo dashboard (Settings → AI keys → "Give your AI a key"). New here? Plyo is free to start. plyo.dev has the full picture; setup lives at plyo.dev/connect.html.
After setup, the user says: "I've added Plyo. Save this project there and keep saving as we go." That's the whole integration.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
create_project | Create a Plyo project and link the current folder to it |
link_project | Link the current folder to an existing project by slug |
save_checkpoint | Save the current state to the project's timeline (pass intent: one sentence on what the user asked for; it powers timeline search) |
publish | Publish the latest checkpoint to the live URL; on failure returns a plain-English cause and a fix you can act on |
get_build_error | Latest build status; if it failed, the translated error and fix guidance |
start_draft | Safe copy of the project to try changes without touching the live version |
restore | Return to an earlier checkpoint; never destructive, history is kept |
get_timeline | Recent checkpoints with what changed in each |
backup_data | Snapshot the project's database and storage files before risky data changes |
list_projects | The user's projects with names, slugs and live URLs |
Notes for agents
- Call
save_checkpointafter each completed piece of work, with a one-sentenceintent. - Call
backup_databefore schema migrations, bulk updates or deletions. - Errors come back plain and actionable: publish and build failures include what went wrong and what to change.
- Under the hood every project is a real git repository; Plyo also accepts plain
git pushathttps://git.plyo.dev/{slug}.git(usernameplyo, the AI key as password). - A failed publish never takes a live site down.

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.
