We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs on your computer
Transport: stdio
Category: Web & browsers
You need to fill in: HOSTHTML_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
You fill in yourself: HOSTHTML_API_KEY

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "host-html": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "host-html-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "HOSTHTML_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add host-html --env HOSTHTML_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y host-html-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "host-html": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "host-html-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "HOSTHTML_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "host-html": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "host-html-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "HOSTHTML_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

HOSTHTML_API_KEY secret required env
Personal API key (hh_...) from host-html.com → Account → API keys

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Common questions

Is host-html safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

You need to fill in: HOSTHTML_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.0) reached the registry today.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

host-html

Publish any HTML file as a live link — instantly.

Free account required. No deploy pipeline, no server to manage.

→ [host-html.com](https://host-html.com)

Heads up — breaking change in v2.0.0: Anonymous publishing has been

retired. Publishing now requires a free, email-verified host-html account

and a personal API key set as HOSTHTML_API_KEY. See

Setup: get an API key. Older releases that relied

on the built-in shared key will stop publishing.

Install

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add phanosh/host-html

/plugin install host-html@host-html

The official Claude Code marketplace listing is in the works — until it lands, install directly from this repo with the two commands above.

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex (MCP server)

// claude_desktop_config.json / .cursor/mcp.json / .mcp.json

{ "mcpServers": { "host-html": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "host-html-mcp"], "env": { "HOSTHTML_API_KEY": "hh_your_key_here" } } } }

Two tools: `publish_html` (HTML in, link out) and `update_page` (new HTML, **same link**).

Source and docs: mcp-server/ · npm: host-html-mcp

Other AI Agents (Skills)

npx skills add phanosh/host-html -g -y

Then use the skills:

/host-html          # publish HTML as a live link

/host-pdf # export HTML slides to PDF

/host-html finds the HTML, publishes it, and hands you a live URL in seconds. /host-pdf captures each slide at retina quality and assembles a PDF.

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, and 40+ more agents.

Setup: get an API key

Publishing now requires a free host-html account:

Sign in (free) at host-html.com
Confirm your email
Go to Account → API keys → Create key
Copy the generated key (starts with hh_… — shown once)
Set it as an environment variable:

   export HOSTHTML_API_KEY=hh_your_key_here

The skill reads HOSTHTML_API_KEY automatically. Custom slugs (see the Direct API table below) still require a Pro/Team plan; publishing itself does not.

Update

When a new version is released here, pull it into your local Claude Code with:

/plugin marketplace update phanosh/host-html

That single command refreshes the marketplace catalog and installs any version bumps in marketplace.json, plugin.json, or the skill frontmatter. To check what you're on:

/plugin

To stay current automatically, open /plugin, go to the Marketplaces tab, select phanosh/host-html, and toggle auto-update on — Claude Code will then pull updates on startup.

For the standalone skills install (npx skills add ...), re-run the same command to upgrade:

npx skills add phanosh/host-html -g -y

Direct API

The publish edge function requires a personal host-html API key (format hh_…) as the bearer token — see Setup to generate one. Pass it via the Authorization header (no apikey header is needed):

curl -X POST https://suifgsvtcbrawzdhyuhk.supabase.co/functions/v1/publish \

-H "Authorization: Bearer $HOSTHTML_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"html": " Hello ", "title": "my page"}'

Request

Field	Type	Required	Description
`html`	string	✓	HTML content (max 1MB)
`title`	string		Page title
`slug`	string		Custom URL path matching `^[a-z0-9-]{2,64}$` (paid plans)
`password`	string		Password-protect the page (4–72 chars, paid plans, JSON body only)

Response `201`

"url": "https://host-html.com/p/abc123", "slug": "abc123", "edit_token": "...", "page_id": "...", "has_password": false, "expires_at": "2026-03-16T..." }

has_password is true when the request set a password (the page is locked and served from private storage); false otherwise.

expires_at is string | null. On a free plan it is the ISO timestamp when the page goes dark; on a paid plan the page never expires and the field is null. It is the authoritative expiry — read it from the response rather than assuming a fixed duration, and handle the null rather than formatting it as a date.
