Getting Started

Vibesites is an AI website builder that connects to Claude via MCP (Model Context Protocol). You describe what you want in plain English, and Claude creates a real, production-quality website — deployed to Cloudflare CDN with a free subdomain.

Prerequisites

You need a Claude account (Desktop or Code). Vibesites itself is free to start — no credit card required.

1. Sign up and get your API key

Create a free account at vibesites.dev/signup. After signing in, go to Account Settings to find your API key.

Your API key looks like vibe_live_a3f8c1.... This key authenticates all your MCP requests. Keep it private.

2. Connect to Claude

Choose your Claude client:

Claude Desktop (recommended)

  1. Open Claude Desktop
  2. Go to Settings → Connectors
  3. Click Add custom connector
  4. Paste your MCP URL:
MCP URL
https://vibesites.dev/api/mcp?key=vibe_live_YOUR_KEY

Claude Code (CLI)

Create a .mcp.json file in your project directory:

.mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vibesites": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://vibesites.dev/api/mcp?key=vibe_live_YOUR_KEY"
    }
  }
}
For full setup details, see the Claude Desktop guide or Claude Code guide.

3. Build your first site

Once connected, ask Claude to create a website. Be specific about your business:

Example prompt
"Create a landing page for my coffee shop, Bean & Brew,
in downtown Portland. Dark warm tones, a hero with our
tagline 'Crafted with care since 2019', menu section
with our espresso drinks, and a contact form."

Claude will ask 5 clarifying questions about your business, audience, visual identity, and content. Then it will:

  1. Create a site with a professional template
  2. Search for relevant stock photos and upload them
  3. Customize the HTML, CSS, colors, and copy for your business
  4. Publish to your free subdomain (e.g., bean-and-brew.vibesites.link)

Average deploy time

Sites typically publish in under 5 seconds. You get a live URL immediately.

4. Edit with natural language

After your site is live, keep talking to Claude to make changes:

  • "Make the hero section darker and add a background image"
  • "Add a testimonials section with 4 cards"
  • "Change the primary color to navy blue"
  • "Add a new page called About Us with our team bios"
  • "Run an SEO audit and fix any issues"
