@pepitahq/mcp

Local MCP server (stdio) for pepita sites. Lets a local Claude (Claude Code / Desktop / the MCP Inspector) read and edit your sites, publish them, and manage shareable preview links — the same things you can do in the editor. Edits show up live in the pepita editor too, so you can move between the chat and the visual editor mid-task.

Prefer the hosted connector? There's a remote, OAuth-authenticated connector at https://mcp.pepita.dev/mcp — nothing to install, just sign in with your pepita account:

claude mcp add --transport http pepita https://mcp.pepita.dev/mcp

(or add it as a custom connector in Claude Desktop / claude.ai). This package is the local alternative — it runs on your machine and works with any MCP client.

Authentication reuses the pepita CLI: run pepita login first (writes ~/.pepita/config.json), or set PEPITA_TOKEN. No separate OAuth.

Use

# one-off, no install:
npx @pepitahq/mcp

# register the local server in Claude Code:
claude mcp add pepita-local -- npx -y @pepitahq/mcp

Also listed in the MCP Registry as dev.pepita.mcp/mcp. If your MCP client can browse the registry, find pepita there and add it in one step; otherwise use the npx / claude mcp add setup above (the registry entry points at the same @pepitahq/mcp package).

Tools

Fourteen tools — six that read your sites, five that write, publish, or manage previews, and three that manage assets:

• Read — list_sites, get_status, list_site_files, read_site_file, list_previews, list_video_assets
• Write — write_site_file (into the working copy), publish (→ live), and preview links: create_preview, update_preview (push the current site onto an existing link), delete_preview
• Assets — rename_asset (display label only — the id and URLs never change, so pages referencing the asset keep working), get_video_asset_original_url (an expiring download link for the uploaded original), delete_video_asset (removes the asset and stops its streams)

list_site_files / read_site_file read the working copy by default, the live site (state: "live"), or a specific preview link (preview: "<name>").

Destructive / account-level actions (custom domains, team, billing, deleting a site) are deliberately not exposed — those stay in the editor UI, where their confirmations live. (Deleting a preview link is exposed: it only stops serving, and the version stays restorable from History.)

Env

• PEPITA_TOKEN — bearer token (overrides the config file).
• PEPITA_API_BASE — API host (default https://app.pepita.dev).
• PEPITA_CONFIG_DIR — config dir (default ~/.pepita).
