An MCP server that lets Claude — or any MCP client — publish a static site to Drop2Run. Give it a folder or an HTML document; it returns a live HTTPS URL.

Full documentation at dropto.run/docs/mcp.

Setup

Claude Code — one command:

claude mcp add drop2run -s user -- npx -y @drop2run/mcp

Claude Desktop — add this to claude_desktop_config.json, then restart the app:

{
	"mcpServers": {
		"drop2run": {
			"command": "npx",
			"args": ["-y", "@drop2run/mcp"]
		}
	}
}

That file is at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS, and %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows.

Nothing is installed globally either way — npx fetches the package when the client starts it.

The server has no browser and no dashboard session, so it authenticates with a personal access token. Two ways to give it one.

Through the CLI, which stores it in ~/.config/drop2run/config.json with mode 0600:

npx drop2run login

Or create a token at https://dropto.run/account/tokens and set it in the environment:

DROP2RUN_TOKEN=d2r_...

A token is shown once and stored as a hash, so it cannot be read back later — create a new one if you lose it. The environment takes precedence over the file, and the file is the one the drop2run CLI reads, so signing in once covers both.

The token is read on every call rather than at startup, so one added while the client is running takes effect without a restart.

The tools

Tool	What it does
`publish_files`	Publishes files Claude wrote — a page, a markdown note, several files together
`publish_dir`	Publishes a folder, given its absolute path
`list_sites`	Lists the sites on the account

Both publish tools take an optional site — a subdomain or site id to publish over. Leave it out and a new site is created.

Behaviour worth knowing

Publishing without a site creates a new one. It never replaces your most recent site by default: "put this online" is not "and overwrite what I published last time".

A site can be documents instead of a built site. A publish needs an index.html at the top level, or at least one .md, .markdown or .pdf file — those are served through the reader. So a single note is a whole site, and Claude does not have to wrap it in HTML to publish it.

publish_files is text. A PDF or an image has to come off a disk with publish_dir, because these files arrive as JSON strings.

The URL comes back immediately; every edge has it in about a minute. The reply also says whether a new version was published, or every file already matched what the site serves.

Default subdomains are not indexed. Anything on *.dropto.live is served with X-Robots-Tag: noindex. Attach a custom domain if you want the site in search results.

Your token only ever reaches the Drop2Run API. Files are uploaded to a separate storage host that needs no credential from us, and none is sent there.

Environment

Variable	Effect
`DROP2RUN_TOKEN`	The personal access token. Takes precedence over the config file
`DROP2RUN_API_URL`	Point at a different API. Defaults to `https://dropto.run/api`
