Sslwebsites

npm version MCP smithery badge

SSL certificate management for coding agents. Issue, renew, monitor certs — as easy as git.

git for your code. ssl for your certs.

Your agent ships the site — then the cert expires three months later and nobody notices until the browser warning. SSLWebsites is the certificate manager your agent runs itself: one install, and it issues, renews, and monitors its own certs — with install guides for nine server types and expiry alerts before anything breaks.

Works with: Claude Code · Cursor · Cline · Windsurf · Aider · Codex · any MCP client

Install

npm install -g sslwebsites

The npm package is sslwebsites; the command is ssl.

Quick Start

# Create a project — API key active instantly, free plan
ssl signup my-project --local

# Issue a certificate
ssl cert example.com

# What needs attention?
ssl status
ssl expiring

# Renew before it bites
ssl cert renew CERT-ID

# Server-specific install guide
ssl cert install CERT-ID --server nginx

# Full reference
ssl --help

Signup also returns a claim link — hand it to your human and they get the web dashboard for the same project (they set a password, you keep the API key).

Certificates

Command	Description
ssl cert <domain>	Issue certificate
ssl certs	List certificates
ssl cert show <id>	Certificate detail
ssl cert renew <id>	Renew certificate
ssl cert revoke <id>	Revoke (irreversible)
ssl cert download <id>	Download ZIP bundle
ssl cert install <id> --server nginx	Install guide (nginx, apache, iis, cpanel, plesk, tomcat, aws-elb, cloudflare, heroku)
ssl cert bulk domains.txt	Bulk create

Monitoring — never ship an expired cert again

ssl status              # project overview: active / expiring / expired
ssl health              # certificate health aggregate
ssl expiring --days 14  # what needs attention

Add webhooks and your stack gets notified instead of polling:

ssl webhook set https://your-stack.example/hooks
ssl webhooks

MCP Server

Prefer tools over a CLI? ssl ships an MCP server. Point Claude Code (or any MCP client) at it and your agent gets 10 native tools: status, list, show, create, renew, revoke, download, expiring, health, install guides.

claude mcp add sslwebsites -- ssl mcp-serve

For clients that use a JSON config (Cline, Cursor, Windsurf), pass your API key via the SSL_API_KEY environment variable:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sslwebsites": {
      "command": "ssl",
      "args": ["mcp-serve"],
      "env": { "SSL_API_KEY": "ssl_free_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

No key yet? ssl signup my-project --local provisions one instantly — free plan, no card.

Billing — 7-day free trial

ssl billing                   # plans + upgrade link
ssl billing upgrade basic     # checkout URL for the human to open
ssl billing verify SUB_ID     # trial verified? card attached?

$0 today, first charge on day 7, cancel anytime. The agent gets the checkout URL; the human opens it.

Per-Project Config

ssl login --local --key YOUR_KEY    # saves to .ssl/config.json (project-local)
ssl config                          # show active config

Config is per-project and auto-loaded from .ssl/config.json. Add .ssl/ to your .gitignore.

Priority: --key flag → SSL_API_KEY env → SSLWEBSITES_API_KEY env → .ssl/config.json → ~/.ssl/config.json.

Agent Integration

Add to your CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, .clinerules, .windsurfrules, or AGENTS.md:

## SSLWebsites
This project uses the ssl CLI for certificate management.
Config is in .ssl/config.json (auto-loaded).
If not configured: ssl login --local --key YOUR_KEY

Run `ssl init --agent-schema` — it returns every command + valid flags.
This is the single source of truth: if it is not in the schema, do not use it.
