Manage Netlify sites in Claude Desktop

Stop jumping between your browser and the chat window. You can now use `get_site` and `list_sites` to pull your project data right into your current conversation. Your AI client interprets this status report to help you debug configuration issues without leaving your desk.

Control deployment flows

Kick off a fresh deployment for any project using `trigger_build` when you need to push a quick fix. You can verify the status of that operation by running `get_deploy` immediately after. This keeps your deployment history visible while you chat with your agent about code changes.

Review form activity

Pull in data from your active site forms using `list_form_submissions`. It lets you see exactly what users are sending to your contact pages without manual dashboard logins. This MCP Server provides the raw context needed for Claude Desktop to summarize recent user feedback or support tickets.
