What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 11, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • publish_website

    Publish a website to a live public URL on GearHost in seconds (no account). For when the user has you build a website, landing page, portfolio, or HTML/CSS/JS app and wants to see it live or share a link. Provide ONE of: html (a one-page site), files (a map of relative path => te

  • get_publish_info

    Optional: read the GearHost publishing docs (methods, limits ~25 MB and an hourly cap on new sites, 72h lifecycle). The docs describe a raw HTTP API (octane.gearhost.com/preview/) for non-MCP clients - when using MCP you do NOT need it; just call publish_website.

  • get_plans

    GearHost CloudSite plans and monthly prices in USD, read live from GearHost (the free plan included). Each plan: name, monthly_price_usd, disk_mb, monthly_requests (null = no fixed limit). Every plan, including free, can use custom domains with automatic HTTPS. Add-on prices (ema

  • unpublish_website

    Take a published site DOWN immediately (delete it). Pass the manage token you got when you published. Use this to remove a site the moment it is no longer needed - or RIGHT AWAY if you accidentally published a secret (sites are public). Without this, a site only auto-expires ~72h

  • check_site

    Loads a published GearHost site from GearHost's servers and reports problems to fix: missing files and broken links on the site, external scripts/stylesheets that fail to load (e.g. a wrong CDN version), no mobile viewport tag, no , images without alt text, http:// resources on a

  • get_site_status

    Full status of a published site — the one call to confirm a publish landed and inspect it. Identify the site by token, OR by name + project_key. Runs a real server-side HTTP probe (live_http) so you get a definitive "is it serving?" answer even while the fresh DNS has not propaga

  • report_abuse

    Report a GearHost preview site being used for phishing/malware/abuse.

  • list_my_previews

    List the live preview sites you created with a given project_key (your cross-session identity). Reuse one project_key across several named publishes, then call this to enumerate + manage them all. Returns structuredContent { status, count, sites:[{ name, url, expires_at, last_pub

  • search_domains

    Search for domain names: checks with the domain registry which names are available to register, across popular endings (.com, .co, .net, .org, .io, .app by default), and adds available ideas suggested by the registry. Pass the user's words in query (a business name, an idea, or a

  • get_domain_setup

    Get everything needed to put a custom domain (e.g. yourshop.com) on a GearHost site: the exact DNS records, plus how to attach it. Identify the site by token, or by name+project_key. A custom domain can only be attached to a site in a GearHost account (it binds the domain to a re

  • get_domain_status

    Check whether a custom domain is wired up and serving yet — the verify/poll half of the custom-domain flow. After you give the user the DNS records (get_domain_setup) and they attach the domain + add the records, call this to see live progress: is it attached to the CloudSite, do

  • get_claim_status

    Check whether a preview has been claimed into a GearHost account, and how long is left to claim it (the site is auto-removed at expiry unless claimed). Pass token, or name+project_key. Read-only. Returns structuredContent { status, url, claimed, claimable, expiring_soon, seconds_

  • list_versions

    List the recent publish history for a site (newest first), so you can undo a change. Pass token, or name+project_key. Each publish is a version; use a version number with rollback_website to restore it. Returns structuredContent { status, url, current_version, count, versions:[{

  • rollback_website

    Restore a site to a previous version (undo). Pass the manage token and the version number from list_versions. Restores that version's content to the live URL and resets the expiry timer. Returns structuredContent { status, url, restored_from, updated, url_ready_in_seconds }. Erro

  • list_my_sites

    Requires signing in to GearHost. List the CloudSites in the user's GearHost account. Returns structuredContent { status, sites:[{domain,url,status,plan,node}] }.

  • list_form_messages

  • get_site_stats

    Requires signing in to GearHost. Traffic for the user's CloudSites: requests per day for the last 7 or 30 days (successful and not-found), bandwidth, and this billing cycle's requests against the plan's limit. Requests count every page and file served, not unique visitors; the nu

  • publish_to_my_site

    Requires signing in to GearHost. Publish/update content to a CloudSite ALREADY in the user's GearHost account (by domain). To put a NEW site online, use publish_website instead: it needs no account. Provide ONE of: html, files map (must include index.html at the root), or zip_bas

  • delete_my_site

    Requires signing in to GearHost. Delete one of the user's GearHost CloudSites (by domain): its hosting, files, certificates, DNS, HA replicas and Git Push repo, exactly like deleting it in the GearHost panel. Destructive - set confirm:true. Databases linked to the site are KEPT (

  • attach_custom_domain

    Requires signing in to GearHost. Attach a custom domain (e.g. mycoffeeshop.com or www.mycoffeeshop.com) to one of the user's CloudSites, the same as "Attach Custom Domain" in the GearHost panel. Works on every plan, including free. Afterwards the domain's DNS must point at the si

  • claim_website

    Keep a preview permanently: claims a site made with publish_website into the user's GearHost account, so it becomes a free, permanent CloudSite at the same URL (no 72h expiry). Use when the user wants to keep their site. Requires signing in to GearHost: if they aren't signed in,

Common questions

Is GearHost safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.2.2) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT on the web (full MCP on Business and above; Pro read-only).

What can I use instead?
