Connect AI agents to the Netlify MCP server

Vendor MCP

The Netlify MCP connector routes your AI agent's tool calls to Netlify's own MCP server through Scalekit. Each user signs in to Netlify once, and Scalekit stores and refreshes their tokens, so your agent never handles credentials. It comes with 9 tools.

Setup

Install the SDK
- Node.js
- Python
Terminal window
npm install @scalekit-sdk/node dotenv
Terminal window
pip install scalekit-sdk-python python-dotenv
Set your credentials
Add your Scalekit credentials to your .env file. Find values in app.scalekit.com > Developers > API Credentials.
.env
```
SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL=<your-environment-url>
SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id>
SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret>
```
Create the Netlify MCP connection
In AgentKit > Connections, create a Netlify MCP connection. The name you give it is the connection_name your code passes. See Configure connections.
Scalekit credentials are available for Netlify MCP server, so you don't need to register an OAuth app.
