Full site and deploy control in Claude Desktop

Stop guessing your build status. Use `list_sites` and `get_site_details` to pull live configuration data into your chat window without leaving the app. You can also monitor your production pipeline using `list_deploys` and `get_deploy_details` to see exactly what pushed last.

Trigger builds and verify hooks

Need to push a quick fix? Call `trigger_site_build` to start a new deployment cycle the moment you finish your code changes. Keep your automation predictable by checking your active triggers with `list_build_hooks`. It lets you see exactly how your CI/CD pipeline connects to your infrastructure.

Access form data and environment variables

Stop digging through dashboards to find user feedback. Use `list_forms` and `list_form_submissions` to pull recent entries straight into your workspace. Verify your project configuration by running `list_env_vars`. It helps you confirm your environment settings are correct before you launch your next update.
