Connect Claude Code to your Sitesfare website

Claude Code can edit, publish and undo changes on your Sitesfare website from the terminal. One command adds the server.

Before you start

• In your Sitesfare dashboard open AI editors and add AI editor access for the kind of website you have. See how Sitesfare Connect works.
• Create a Studio key: AI editors → Studio keys → name it (for example "Claude Code on my laptop") → Create key → copy it. It is shown once.

1. Add the server

claude mcp add --transport http sitesfare https://api.sitesfare.com/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <your Studio key>"

Claude Code confirms: Added HTTP MCP server sitesfare…. The key is stored in Claude Code's own config on your computer.

Prefer signing in instead of a key? Add the server without the header, start claude, type /mcp, choose sitesfare and follow the sign-in — you approve on the Sitesfare page and come back connected.

claude mcp add --transport http sitesfare https://api.sitesfare.com/mcp

2. Use it

$ claude
> /mcp                     # sitesfare · connected
> Show me my Sitesfare websites and hide the testimonials on ira

Claude Code calls the Sitesfare tools (account_sites, section_hide…), saves the change as a draft and tells you. Say "publish" to put it live. Every change is in the site's History in the dashboard with one-click undo — or just say "undo that".

Things to try:

• "Replace the hero photo with ./hero.jpg" — it uploads the file to your media library and sets the field.
• "Here's a screenshot of the section — change the heading to 'Selected work'."
• "Change the display font to Syne and the accent to #1F6F4A, then publish."
• "Start a new photography site called studio-ira from the Darkroom template."

Sharing with a team

Add the server with --scope project: the server URL goes into .mcp.json in the repository (without any key), and each person signs in with /mcp or sets their own header.

Troubleshooting

• 401 / unauthorized — the key was pasted incompletely (it starts with sfk_ and is 47 characters) or was revoked. Create a new one and run claude mcp remove sitesfare then add it again.
• "This account does not hold AI editor access…" — add the add-on for that kind of website under AI editors; the message says which one.
• The server shows as failed — check you used --transport http (not sse or stdio) and the exact URL https://api.sitesfare.com/mcp.
