Website Starter MCP MCP server

An official MCP server that guides AI agents through a brief interview to generate customized Markdown instructions for building, deploying, and maintaining an Astro website. It provides tools to start the process, describe the starter contents, retrieve standard instruction ZIPs, and create customized instruction sets without requiring user sign-in or accessing local files.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers a Streamable HTTP server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http website-starter-mcp https://websitestarter.org/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add website-starter-mcp --url https://websitestarter.org/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable website-starter-mcp in your MCP settings.

Cursor configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "website-starter-mcp": {
      "url": "https://websitestarter.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure). The type must be streamableHttp for a remote HTTP server.

Cline configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "website-starter-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://websitestarter.org/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start website-starter-mcp and inspect its tools.

VS Code configuration

{
  "servers": {
    "website-starter-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://websitestarter.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.

Gemini CLI configuration

gemini mcp add --transport http website-starter-mcp https://websitestarter.org/mcp

Claude Desktop

Merge this into claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\), then restart Claude Desktop.

Claude Desktop configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "website-starter-mcp": {
      "url": "https://websitestarter.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.

Windsurf configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "website-starter-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://websitestarter.org/mcp"
    }
  }
