Use Netlify with AI via MCP
Anyone running several websites and client projects on Netlify quickly loses track of which site sits where and which deploy ran last. The official Netlify MCP server makes that information retrievable for CompanyGPT – connected via OAuth.
What is Netlify?
Netlify is a platform for building, delivering and operating websites and web applications. A connected repository automatically produces builds, preview deploys for branches and a production version served through a global content network. On top of that, Netlify offers serverless functions, form handling, redirects and per-site environment variables.
Agencies and product teams often run many sites in parallel – and that is exactly where the AI connection helps. An agent can query deploy states, look up configuration and point out anomalies without anyone working through the project list. The time saved shows up most clearly in operations and handover situations.

How to Connect Netlify to CompanyGPT
Netlify operates an official MCP server at netlify-mcp.netlify.app/mcp, addressed via streamable HTTP. CompanyGPT connects to this endpoint directly.
Sign-in happens through OAuth with the Netlify account. The agent therefore moves within the teams and sites the connected account is entitled to – existing access rights are never widened.
As an alternative, the Netlify MCP server can be started via npx and run in your own environment. That variant is worth considering when access should be tied closely to a particular environment. Which user groups may use the integration is defined by your CompanyGPT administrators through roles and groups as usual.
Typical Use Cases
How AI agents in CompanyGPT work with Netlify
Overview of all sites
The web team asks which sites belong to a team and when they were last published successfully – a quick operational overview.
Trace deploy problems
When a publish fails, the agent pulls the deploy history and names the step that aborted, plus when the last working version ran.
Document configuration
For a project handover, the agent compiles how a site's build settings and redirects are configured.
Frequently Asked Questions
Netlify and AI – the most important answers
Does Netlify have an official MCP server?
Yes. Netlify provides an official MCP server at netlify-mcp.netlify.app/mcp, addressed via streamable HTTP.
Can we run the server ourselves?
Yes. The Netlify MCP server can also be started via npx in your own environment, which helps when access should be tied closely to a specific environment.
Which sites does the assistant reach?
Exactly the teams and sites the Netlify account connected via OAuth is entitled to. The integration does not create additional rights.
Are environment variables with secrets a risk?
Access follows the rights of the connected account. We recommend using an account with suitably limited rights for AI access and restricting the agent to read tools in CompanyGPT.
Who is allowed to use the integration?
That is decided by your CompanyGPT administrators through roles and groups. Typically the integration is limited to the web and operations teams.
