What is the Sitebay MCP MCP server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives Claude direct access to the SiteBay WordPress hosting platform. Manage sites, execute commands, and control your cloud infrastructure—all through conversation. The sitebay mcp mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 8 defined tools rather than through you.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

  • sitebay_list_sites — List all WordPress sites hosted on SiteBay
  • sitebay_get_site — Get detailed information about a hosted site
  • sitebay_create_site — Create a new WordPress site on SiteBay
  • sitebay_update_site — Update site configuration
  • sitebay_delete_site — Delete a hosted site
  • sitebay_site_shell_command — Execute shell/WP-CLI commands
  • sitebay_site_edit_file — Edit files in wp-content
  • sitebay_list_ready_made_sites — List available ready-made templates

Adding it to your client

Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.

Configuration

You will need 2 environment variables: SITEBAY_API_TOKEN, MCP_HTTP_HOST. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

When to reach for it

Plenty of cloud and infrastructure servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Sitebay MCP's toolset — sitebay_list_sites, sitebay_get_site, sitebay_create_site and 5 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by sitebay; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Caveats

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the sitebay mcp mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Sitebay MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 8 tools (sitebay_list_sites, sitebay_get_site, sitebay_create_site, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Sitebay MCP directly.
