Vibie MCP tools 4
vibie_create_siteCreate a NEW Vibie site by uploading a local folder. Use this when the user wants to publish a brand new site, or when no .vibie/site.json marker exists in the folder. Vibie hosts static HTML/CSS/JS at a permanent URL like my-site-a3f9.vibie.page. Auto-creates a .vibie/site.json marker in the folder for future updates.vibie_update_siteUpdate an existing Vibie site with new content from a local folder. Use this when the user wants to re-deploy or push changes to an already-published site. If .vibie/site.json marker exists in the folder, the slug is read automatically; otherwise pass slug explicitly. Same URL, new content.vibie_list_sitesList all sites owned by the current Vibie user. Returns slug, display name, category, URL, visibility, and last update time. Use this to discover what sites the user already has, e.g. before update.vibie_get_siteGet metadata for a single Vibie site by slug. Returns name, category, URL, visibility, like count, timestamps.
