Zarla MCP server — build, edit and publish websites from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Gemini

MCP Registry Add to Cursor

Zarla is an AI website builder with a hosted MCP server. Connect it to any MCP client and build a website from one sentence, edit pages, change the design, set a logo, add products and publish — all from the conversation. No code, no hosting to set up, no API keys.

Connection link (every client uses the same one):

https://www.zarla.com/api/mcp

Sign in with your Zarla account when your client opens the browser. That's the whole setup. Zarla is free to build and preview; publishing needs a paid plan.

Connect

Step-by-step for each app, with screenshots: https://www.zarla.com/help/connect-claude-and-ai-agents

Client

How

Claude (claude.ai, desktop)

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the link → sign in. Works on every Claude plan, including Free.

Claude Code

claude mcp add zarla --transport http "https://www.zarla.com/api/mcp" then /mcp to sign in. Or copy this repo's .mcp.json into your project.

ChatGPT

Settings → Security and login → Developer mode on, then chatgpt.com/plugins+ → name Zarla, server URL = the link, auth OAuth.

Cursor

Click the Add to Cursor badge above, or add .cursor/mcp.json to your project, then Authenticate when Cursor asks.

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/zarlahq/website-builder-mcp (this repo is a Gemini CLI extension) or gemini mcp add --transport http zarla https://www.zarla.com/api/mcp.

Cline and others

Add a remote Streamable HTTP server with the link. Details in llms-install.md.

Try it

  • "Build a website for my mobile dog-grooming business in Denver."

  • "Rewrite my homepage headline to sound more premium, and add a testimonials section."

  • "Add a $45 Deluxe Wash to my products and publish my site."

  • "What websites do I have on Zarla?"

  • "Show me my website."

  • "Give my site a warmer, more welcoming look."

Bigger jobs

Your AI app brings the research and the writing; Zarla brings the tools that change the site. In apps that can browse the web (ChatGPT, Claude with web search):

  • "Look at the websites of the top 10 plumbers in Denver. Tell me which pages and sections they all have that mine doesn't — then add them to my site."

  • "Read my reviews at [link] and turn the best five into a testimonials section on my home page."

  • "Write a service page for every service on my price list, and link them from the menu."

  • "Compare my home page to my strongest competitor's and rewrite my headline and first section to be clearer about why customers should choose me."

Why not just ask ChatGPT or Claude to build the site?

You can. You'll get a folder of HTML, or a page in a code sandbox. Then the real work starts: hosting it, connecting a domain, making the contact form actually send you something, and going back to the AI for every change. Zarla is the part of the job the chat can't do on its own: an AI website builder with hosting and the whole business stack behind it, and new features shipping every week (what's new).

What you get

Code you have to host yourself

A live website served from Google Cloud on a global CDN. Nothing to deploy.

Domain, DNS, SSL

Buy a domain, point the DNS, set up certificates, renew them

Buy or connect a domain inside Zarla. DNS, HTTPS and certificate renewal handled.

Security

Yours to patch

HTTPS by default, DDoS protection, no plugins or dependencies to keep updated

Changing it later

Re-prompt, re-generate, re-deploy. Earlier edits get lost.

36 tools edit the real site in place. Draft, preview, one publish step.

Design

Whatever the model made up that day

1,200+ professionally designed templates. Switch designs and keep your content.

Getting customers

A contact form that goes nowhere

Lead inbox and CRM, online booking, WhatsApp chat button, gift cards, products with checkout, invoices

Getting found

Whatever SEO the model remembered to add

Sitemap, meta tags and structured data on every page. A Get Found score with an SEO coach. Google Search Console and Google Business Profile connected. A playbook for gathering reviews.

Knowing what works

Install an analytics product, add a cookie banner

Built-in analytics counting leads, calls and sales from the day you publish

Keeping it up

Yours: hosting bills, broken builds, updates

Zarla's.

Cost

Hosting plus your time

Free to build and preview. A paid plan to publish.

Your AI app brings the thinking: research, writing, strategy. Zarla brings the website and everything a business runs on it.

What the server can do

36 tools, every one annotated with a title and the MCP behaviour hints (read-only / destructive / idempotent / open-world), so your client knows which calls to run silently and which to confirm.

Group

Tools

Read

list_sites, get_site, get_page, list_site_photos, list_industries, list_block_types, list_designs

Build

create_site — a home page from a one-sentence description in about half a minute; add_page / remove_page for the rest

Edit pages

update_block, add_block, remove_block, reorder_blocks, update_business_info, update_header, update_footer, update_seo

Design

update_design (colors, fonts, mood), switch_design (move onto any of 1,200+ marketplace designs, content kept), set_logo, remove_logo

Images

request_image_upload → PUT → finalize_image_upload (logos, photos, anything shared in the chat)

Preview & publish

show_site_preview (live preview panel in clients that support MCP Apps, a preview link elsewhere), publish_site

Shop

get_payments_status, list_products, get_product, create_product, update_product, get_product_settings, list_orders, get_order, request_product_file_upload, finalize_product_file_upload

The full, always-current list — names, descriptions and input schemas — is served by the server itself at /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json.

How it behaves

  • Drafts first. Every edit lands in your private draft. Your live site only changes when you ask to publish, and most clients ask you to confirm that step (publish_site is marked destructive on purpose).

  • Publishing needs a paid plan. On the Free plan the publish tool hands back an upgrade link instead of an error; after upgrading, publishing picks up where it left off.

  • Shop changes are live. Product price and availability changes reach checkout immediately — republish after a price change so the site matches.

  • You stay in control. Every connected app is listed at https://www.zarla.com/connect — disconnect one and its access ends immediately.
