BrightSite

What is BrightSite?

BrightSite is a website hosting platform with a visual editor for building and managing sites. The BrightSite MCP server connects AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor directly to your BrightSite account so you can manage pages, blog posts, components, forms, media, and analytics through natural language.

Connection

Endpoint: https://onbrightsite.com/api/mcp Transport: Streamable HTTP

The server supports two authentication methods. Modern MCP clients will negotiate OAuth automatically; clients that don't can fall back to a Bearer token.

OAuth 2.1 (recommended)

OAuth-capable clients (Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Claude Desktop with OAuth) discover the auth flow automatically via /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource. Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591) is supported — no manual app setup needed.

Bearer token

For clients that don't support OAuth:

1. Sign in at onbrightsite.com
2. Go to Settings → MCP Keys
3. Generate a new key (format: bs_...)
4. Configure your client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "brightsite": {
      "url": "https://onbrightsite.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
