What MCP is
The Model Context Protocol is a standard for exposing tools to AI agents. StaticOwl ships an MCP server that exposes every admin operation: sites_*, content_*, types_*, templates_*, build_*, workflow_* — anything an admin can do.
Setup in one command
npx staticowl-mcp setup
Opens a browser to the admin's authorize page; mints a key scoped to your sites; writes ~/.staticowl/mcp-key.json. Point Claude Desktop at staticowl-mcp in your config. Done.
Auth + scope
- Keys are scoped per-site, with a TTL
- Keys are rate-limited
- AI-authored writes go through the same review pipeline as human-authored writes
What this lets you do
- Bulk operations driven by natural language
- Composed multi-step workflows in one prompt
- The whole product driven from a chat window when you don't want to click through the UI
