What is Netlify MCP Server?
The Netlify MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that acts as an intermediary between a client application and the Netlify CLI. It allows users to automate and manage Netlify deployments, environment variables, and other tasks programmatically.
How to use Netlify MCP Server?
To use the server, you need to install it either via Smithery or manually by cloning the repository, installing dependencies, and building the server. You also need to generate a Personal Access Token (PAT) from Netlify and configure it as an environment variable (NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN) in the server's configuration. Then, configure your MCP client to point to the server and use the available tools with the appropriate parameters.
