# Netlify MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Netlify MCP. Manage sites, track deploys, and handle form data through your AI client. It lets your agent act like a DevOps engineer, handling production builds and environment configs without the manual clicks. ## Overview - **Category:** loved-by-devs - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_K3Yjlu31WhdaVxypUbeEJyX3i8VARvylbanIYm2n/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** web-deployment, serverless-functions, build-automation, site-management, form-processing, ci-cd ## Description Stop wasting time clicking through hosting dashboards to check on your builds. You can let your AI agent handle the heavy lifting of your web infrastructure instead. Instead of jumping between tabs to see if a production build finished or hunting for a specific environment variable, you just tell your agent what needs to happen. It can look up your active sites, grab metadata, and pull up deployment logs instantly. If you need to trigger a new build or check recent form submissions from your users, the agent handles the handshake for you. It's about moving from manual dashboard navigation to just asking for the status of your web projects. Having this in your Vinkius catalog means you can keep your focus on shipping features while your agent handles the routine maintenance of your hosting environment. ## Tools ### list_forms See a list of all active forms on your sites. Use it to keep track of where you're collecting user data. ### list_build_hooks See all your configured build hooks. This lets you understand how your CI/CD pipeline is wired up. ### list_sites See every site in your Netlify account. Use this to get a high-level view of your entire portfolio. ### list_form_submissions See recent form entries from your users. It's great for quickly reviewing leads or user feedback. ### trigger_site_build Start a new production build for a site. Use this to push updates without visiting the Netlify dashboard. ### get_deploy_details Get the specific details for a single deployment. This helps you see exactly what happened during a specific build. ### get_site_details Pull metadata for a specific site. Use this to find production URLs and basic site info quickly. ### list_deploys See the full history of deployments for a site. It's the easiest way to audit past production pushes. ### list_env_vars See all environment variables for your accounts or sites. This is perfect for catching configuration drift. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` List all the sites in my Netlify account. ``` **Response:** ``` Retrieving your site directory... You currently have 5 active sites, including 'marketing-landing' and 'docs-portal'. Would you like to check the latest deploy status for any of them? ``` **Prompt:** ``` Show the last 5 deploys for site 'marketing-landing'. ``` **Response:** ``` Fetching deploy history... The most recent deploy was successful 2 hours ago. I see 4 other production builds from yesterday. I can provide the specific deploy IDs if you need to audit them. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Trigger a new build for site 'docs-portal' using the 'production' hook. ``` **Response:** ``` Initiating build for 'docs-portal'... The build request has been accepted by Netlify. I'll monitor the status for you. It should be live in a few minutes. ``` ## Capabilities ### Audit production builds Pull the full deployment history for any site to see exactly what happened during a specific push. ### Trigger new builds Start a new production build for a site immediately through your agent. ### View site metadata Retrieve production URLs and detailed site information for your entire portfolio. ### Check environment variables List all environment variables to verify configuration settings and catch drift. ### Monitor form data Retrieve active forms and audit recent user submissions in real time. ## Use Cases ### Checking failed build statuses A developer needs to know why a build failed. They ask their agent to show the last 5 deploys for the 'marketing' site using list_deploys. ### Reviewing lead generation data A marketing manager wants to see lead counts. They ask the agent to pull the latest submissions from the contact form using list_form_submissions. ### Auditing production variables A DevOps engineer needs to update a production variable. They ask the agent to list the current variables for the 'staging' site using list_env_vars. ### Pushing hotfixes without the UI A developer needs to push a quick update. They ask the agent to trigger a new build for the 'docs' site using trigger_site_build. ## Benefits - Skip the dashboard by using list_sites to see your entire portfolio in one glance. - Catch configuration errors early by using list_env_vars to audit your production settings. - Get instant status updates on builds without manual checking by using list_deploys. - Monitor lead generation directly with list_form_submissions to see user data in real time. - Speed up deployment cycles by using trigger_site_build to push new versions immediately. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a hands-free way to manage web deployments and site configs through natural conversation. 1.
