Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified that this server's namespace belongs to zarla.com, which also runs its endpoint. That identifies the publisher; it does not make the server's tools safe.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Zarla's hosted MCP server lets an assistant build, edit, preview and publish a hosted business website, including design, images and a small shop.

What you can do: List and read sites, pages, photos, industries, block types and designs
Create a site from a one-sentence description, add and remove pages
Edit page blocks, business info, header, footer and SEO settings
Change colors, fonts and mood, switch among marketplace designs, set or remove a logo
Upload images through a request, PUT and finalize flow
Show a preview and publish the site
When to use it: Useful when someone wants a live business website produced and maintained through conversation, without handling code, hosting, DNS or certificates themselves. It suits small-business sites, landing pages and simple product shops that should be edited in place and published from the chat.
Requirements: A remote Streamable HTTP endpoint; no local package or API key. Sign-in with a Zarla account via OAuth in the browser when the client connects. A paid Zarla plan is needed to publish; building and previewing are free.

Before you install

Edits go to a private draft, but publish_site is marked destructive and makes changes live, so confirm before publishing. Shop product price and availability changes reach checkout immediately. Publishing requires a paid plan, and the publish tool returns an upgrade link on the free plan. Site content, images and business data are stored on Zarla's hosted service.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Zarla Website Builder in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.zarla%2Fwebsite-builder/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

README

Zarla MCP server — build, edit and publish websites from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Gemini

[MCP Registry] [Add to Cursor]

Zarla is an AI website builder with a hosted MCP server. Connect it to any MCP client and build a website from one sentence, edit pages, change the design, set a logo, add products and publish — all from the conversation. No code, no hosting to set up, no API keys.

Connection link (every client uses the same one):

Sign in with your Zarla account when your client opens the browser. That's the whole setup. Zarla is free to build and preview; publishing needs a paid plan.

Connect

Step-by-step for each app, with screenshots: https://www.zarla.com/help/connect-claude-and-ai-agents

Client	How
Claude (claude.ai, desktop)	Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the link → sign in. Works on every Claude plan, including Free.
Claude Code	`claude mcp add zarla --transport http "https://www.zarla.com/api/mcp"` then `/mcp` to sign in. Or copy this repo's `.mcp.json` into your project.
ChatGPT	Settings → Security and login → Developer mode on, then chatgpt.com/plugins → + → name `Zarla`, server URL = the link, auth OAuth.
Cursor	Click the Add to Cursor badge above, or add `.cursor/mcp.json` to your project, then Authenticate when Cursor asks.
Gemini CLI	`gemini extensions install https://github.com/zarlahq/website-builder-mcp` (this repo is a Gemini CLI extension) or `gemini mcp add --transport http zarla https://www.zarla.com/api/mcp`.
Cline and others	Add a remote Streamable HTTP server with the link. Details in `llms-install.md`.

Try it

"Build a website for my mobile dog-grooming business in Denver."
"Rewrite my homepage headline to sound more premium, and add a testimonials section."
"Add a $45 Deluxe Wash to my products and publish my site."
"What websites do I have on Zarla?"
"Show me my website."
"Give my site a warmer, more welcoming look."

Bigger jobs

Your AI app brings the research and the writing; Zarla brings the tools that change the site. In apps that can browse the web (ChatGPT, Claude with web search):

"Look at the websites of the top 10 plumbers in Denver. Tell me which pages and sections they all have that mine doesn't — then add them to my site."
"Read my reviews at [link] and turn the best five into a testimonials section on my home page."
"Write a service page for every service on my price list, and link them from the menu."
"Compare my home page to my strongest competitor's and rewrite my headline and first section to be clearer about why customers should choose me."

Why not just ask ChatGPT or Claude to build the site?

You can. You'll get a folder of HTML, or a page in a code sandbox. Then the real work starts: hosting it, connecting a domain, making the contact form actually send you something, and going back to the AI for every change. Zarla is the part of the job the chat can't do on its own: an AI website builder with hosting and the whole business stack behind it, and new features shipping every week (what's new).

	Ask the AI directly	Ask the AI with Zarla connected
What you get	Code you have to host yourself	A live website served from Google Cloud on a global CDN. Nothing to deploy.
Domain, DNS, SSL	Buy a domain, point the DNS, set up certificates, renew them	Buy or connect a domain inside Zarla. DNS, HTTPS and certificate renewal handled.
Security	Yours to patch	HTTPS by default, DDoS protection, no plugins or dependencies to keep updated
Changing it later	Re-prompt, re-generate, re-deploy. Earlier edits get lost.	36 tools edit the real site in place. Draft, preview, one publish step.
Design	Whatever the model made up that day	1,200+ professionally designed templates. Switch designs and keep your content.
Getting customers	A contact form that goes nowhere	Lead inbox and CRM, online booking, WhatsApp chat button, gift cards, products with checkout, invoices
Getting found	Whatever SEO the model remembered to add	Sitemap, meta tags and structured data on every page. A Get Found score with an SEO coach. Google Search Console and Google Business Profile connected. A playbook for gathering reviews.
Knowing what works	Install an analytics product, add a cookie banner	Built-in analytics counting leads, calls and sales from the day you publish
Keeping it up	Yours: hosting bills, broken builds, updates	Zarla's.
Cost	Hosting plus your time	Free to build and preview. A paid plan to publish.

Your AI app brings the thinking: research, writing, strategy. Zarla brings the website and everything a business runs on it.

What the server can do

36 tools, every one annotated with a title and the MCP behaviour hints (read-only / destructive / idempotent / open-world), so your client knows which calls to run silently and which to confirm.

Group	Tools
Read	`list_sites`, `get_site`, `get_page`, `list_site_photos`, `list_industries`, `list_block_types`, `list_designs`
Build	`create_site` — a home page from a one-sentence description in about half a minute; `add_page` / `remove_page` for the rest
Edit pages	`update_block`, `add_block`, `remove_block`, `reorder_blocks`, `update_business_info`, `update_header`, `update_footer`, `update_seo`
Design	`update_design` (colors, fonts, mood), `switch_design` (move onto any of 1,200+ marketplace designs, content kept), `set_logo`, `remove_logo`
Images	`request_image_upload` → PUT → `finalize_image_upload` (logos, photos, anything shared in the chat)
Preview & publish	`show_site_preview` (live preview panel in clients that support MCP Apps, a preview link elsewhere), `publish_site`
Shop	`get_payments_status`, `list_products`, `get_product`, `create_product`, `update_product`, `get_product_settings`, `list_orders`, `get_order`, `request_product_file_upload`, `finalize_product_file_upload`

The full, always-current list — names, descriptions and input schemas — is served by the server itself at /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json.

How it behaves

Drafts first. Every edit lands in your private draft. Your live site only changes when you ask to publish, and most clients ask you to confirm that step (publish_site is marked destructive on purpose).
Publishing needs a paid plan. On the Free plan the publish tool hands back an upgrade link instead of an error; after upgrading, publishing picks up where it left off.
Shop changes are live. Product price and availability changes reach checkout immediately — republish after a price change so the site matches.
You stay in control. Every connected app is listed at https://www.zarla.com/connect — disconnect one and its access ends immediately.
