Tools & capabilities
Shipstatic MCP tools 15
deployments_uploadDeploy a static site instantly: free, no account or API key required. Returns the live URL, file count, and size. Without SHIP_TOKEN, the response also includes a one-time claim URL, and the site expires in 3 days unless claimed. Pass `password` to make the site private.deployments_listList all deployments with their URLs, status, labels, and password protection state. The response's `cursor` is null on the last page; pass it back as `cursor` to fetch the next.deployments_getGet deployment details including URL, status, file count, size, labels, and password protection state.deployments_setUpdate deployment labels. Replaces all existing labels.deployments_deletePermanently deletes a deployment and its files.domains_setCreate or update a custom domain. Can reserve a name (omit deployment), link it to a deployment, switch deployments, or update labels. domains_records then returns the DNS records to configure.domains_listList all domains with their URLs, linked deployment, and `status`. The response's `cursor` is null on the last page; pass it back as `cursor` to fetch the next.domains_getGet domain details including URL, linked deployment, labels, and `status`: the one word saying what the domain needs from its owner (`unverified`, `unlinked`, `live`, `paused`).domains_recordsReturns the DNS records to configure at the domain's DNS provider. Call after domains_set. Custom domains only: a ShipStatic domain has no records to configure.domains_dnsReturns the DNS provider recorded for the domain, if known (e.g. Cloudflare, Namecheap): where its DNS records are configured. Custom domains only, and only while the domain is unverified; once its DNS is right there is nothing left to locate.domains_shareReturns a shareable DNS setup URL that needs no API key, for whoever manages the domain's DNS. Custom domains only, and only while the domain is unverified; a verified domain has no setup left to share.domains_validateCheck if a domain name is valid and available before creating it. Returns the normalized form and availability.- +3 more on the listing page

querySearch for verified method contracts for any library. Pass any text -- library name, method, what you're building, or an error you hit.list_servicesList all libraries and services that have verified method contracts. Use this first to discover what's available, then query for specific methods.list_methodsList all methods for a given library or service. Use after list_services to drill into a specific one.policyGenerate a least-privilege IAM policy for an AWS workflow. Pass a named workflow, explicit IAM actions, or a description. Returns the exact policy with confidence tier and any unresolved operations.list_workflowsList the curated named workflows that can generate least-privilege IAM policies.verifyFeed a generated policy back to AWS's own policy evaluation engine (SimulateCustomPolicy) and confirm it grants exactly the intended operations and nothing extra. Returns verified (True|False|unknown), grants_all, grants_extra. Requires AWS credentials; without them verified=unknown with the reason. Wildcarded operations are expanded to concrete actions first.authorizePre-flight authorization check for an AWS operation. Resolves the IAM actions the operation requires, then asks AWS's own policy simulator (SimulatePrincipalPolicy) whether the current role (or a given principal) allows them. Returns resolution (exact|partial|unresolved) and evaluation (allowed|denied|unknown) as separate fields. Requires AWS credentials; without them evaluation=unknown with the reason.registerRegister a fix. Three actions: confirm (it worked), append_thread (variant worked), new_receipt (nothing matched, I fixed it).
