plyo-mcp
MCP server for Plyo — the home for AI-built projects. Every version saved, one click to undo, one click to publish, plus a security check before going live, visitor stats, health monitoring and database backups. Built for people who build with AI and don't code; this server is how their AI does the technical part.
Setup
Claude Code, one line:
claude mcp add plyo -e PLYO_TOKEN=plyo_xxx -- npx plyo-mcp
Any other MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"plyo": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["plyo-mcp"],
"env": { "PLYO_TOKEN": "plyo_xxx" }
}
}
}
PLYO_TOKEN is an AI key from the Plyo dashboard (Settings → AI keys → "Give your AI a key"). New here? Plyo is free to start. plyo.dev has the full picture; setup lives at plyo.dev/connect.html.
After setup, the user says: "I've added Plyo. Save this project there and keep saving as we go." That's the whole integration.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
create_project | Create a Plyo project and link the current folder to it |
link_project | Link the current folder to an existing project by slug |
save_checkpoint | Save the current state to the project's timeline (pass intent: one sentence on what the user asked for; it powers timeline search) |
publish | Publish the latest checkpoint to the live URL; on failure returns a plain-English cause and a fix you can act on |
get_build_error | Latest build status; if it failed, the translated error and fix guidance |
start_draft | Safe copy of the project to try changes without touching the live version |
restore | Return to an earlier checkpoint; never destructive, history is kept |
get_timeline | Recent checkpoints with what changed in each |
backup_data | Snapshot the project's database and storage files before risky data changes |
list_projects | The user's projects with names, slugs and live URLs |
Notes for agents
- Call
save_checkpointafter each completed piece of work, with a one-sentenceintent. - Call
backup_databefore schema migrations, bulk updates or deletions. - Errors come back plain and actionable: publish and build failures include what went wrong and what to change.
- Under the hood every project is a real git repository; Plyo also accepts plain
git pushathttps://git.plyo.dev/{slug}.git(usernameplyo, the AI key as password). - A failed publish never takes a live site down.
