Clize Overview

The Clize MCP server gives AI coding agents access to hosted actions for domains, email, deployments, payments, and media generation. It works as part of the Clize CLI, which connects to Clize's control plane rather than requiring Cloudflare or Vercel credentials on the local machine. Use it when an agent needs to register a domain, operate an inbox, publish a static site, generate media, or handle customer payments. Claude Code and Codex are explicitly supported through the installation workflow.

Primary Use Cases for Clize:
  • Claim a free project identity and mailbox
  • Read verification codes from an agent inbox
  • Deploy a static site from a local directory
  • Send approval-controlled transactional email
