Shipstatic MCP vs Vibedeploy
A side-by-side look at the Shipstatic MCP and Vibedeploy MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Shipstatic MCP for cloud platforms work as a local process; choose Vibedeploy for cloud platforms over a hosted endpoint. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.

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
Vibedeploy tools 43
get_accountReturn the team's plan, its limits, current usage, the trial end date and the per-token MCP rate limit. Call it before deploy_site or add_custom_domain to check a plan limit instead of running into PLAN_LIMIT_EXCEEDED.deploy_sitePublish a static site or single-page app to a live HTTPS URL on the account's platform subdomain (e.g. {name}.vibedeploy.be). A new name creates the site. An existing name REPLACES EVERY FILE (files not in this call are deleted) and needs confirm:"I-want-to-replace-all-files"; preview with dryRun:true. Use update_site instead to change some files of an existing site. A 100-250 KB text file fits in this call with encoding:'gzip+base64' (gzip locally, then base64); use begin_deploy only when the files do not fit in one call. Ship a top-level 404.html for multi-page sites (otherwise unknown paths serve index.html) and use plain ASCII file names. Afterwards add_custom_domain can serve the site on the user's own domain.update_siteChange files on an existing site. Default mode 'patch' writes only the listed files and keeps the rest; `delete: [paths]` removes files. mode:'replace' deletes every file not listed. Preview with dryRun:true. Use deploy_site instead to create a new site. A 100-250 KB text file fits in one call with encoding:'gzip+base64' (gzip locally, then base64); prefer that over begin_deploy plus add_file_chunk. Fails with SITE_NOT_FOUND when the site does not exist.list_sitesList the team's sites (name, URL, status, last deploy), most recently updated first, up to 100. Use list_sites to find a site name; use get_site for one site's files, source status and history.get_siteReturn one site's details: live URL, status, plan, served file paths, whether editable source is stored (and its build settings), custom domains, bandwidth and the last 10 deploys. Use get_site to inspect a site before editing it; use list_sites to find site names, and get_app_status for container services.delete_siteSoft-delete a site (confirm:true required). It stops serving at once and is purged after the plan's restore window (purgesAt in the result); until then the user can restore it in the VibeDeploy dashboard. Use delete_site to remove the whole site; use remove_app instead to stop only its container services.get_site_analyticsReturn a privacy-safe traffic summary for a site over the last `period` days (default 7): total page views, distinct-visitor count, top pages, daily counts, device/browser breakdowns, and Web Vitals averages. Never exposes raw visitor IPs or user-agents.read_fileReturn one file the site serves now, as text (utf8) or base64 for binary files, e.g. to edit it and send it back with update_site mode:'patch'. Use read_file for the served files; use read_source_file instead for the editable source tree (get_site.sourceStored). Max 5242880 bytes; get_site.filePaths lists the paths.read_filesRead up to 50 served files in one call, with the same per-file rules as read_file and 8388608 bytes in total; paths past the budget fail with BATCH_BUDGET_EXCEEDED, so request them again in another call. Use read_source_files instead for the editable source tree.list_file_hashesReturn SHA-256 and size of every served file. Before a redeploy, hash your local files, compare, and upload only the changed ones with update_site mode:'patch' or begin_deploy plus add_files.list_source_filesList path, SHA-256 and size of every file in the site's editable source tree (the stored pre-build code, not the served files). Read-only. A site without a source tree returns SOURCE_NOT_STORED: write the source with write_source_files, or copy plain static served files with promote_dist_to_source.promote_dist_to_sourceCreate the editable source tree of a site that has none by copying the files it serves, so later changes can use write_source_files, apply_edits(target:'source') and build_and_deploy. The served files do not change, and a site that already has source is left as is. Use mode 'force' only after telling the user that build output (minified bundles) is not original source.- +31 more on the listing page
