# thin.host

> thin.host is hosting for static and AI-generated sites, built to be driven by agents. Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Codex or any MCP client can publish a folder or zip and get a live URL in one tool call or one REST request, then map a custom domain with automatic TLS and send transactional email from a verified domain.

Key facts for agents:

- Hosted MCP server: https://thin.host/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Sign in with OAuth 2.1 (dynamic client registration, PKCE), or send an API key as `Authorization: Bearer th_live_...`. Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http thin-host https://thin.host/mcp`.
- Local MCP server that reads build folders from disk: `uvx thinhost-mcp` (PyPI package thinhost-mcp) with THIN_HOST_API_KEY set.
- REST deploy: `curl -F file=@site.zip -F title="My site" https://thin.host/v1/websites/archive -H "Authorization: Bearer th_live_..."` returns JSON whose `url` is the live site. Redeploy with `POST https://thin.host/v1/websites/<slug>/archive` (files missing from the new zip are removed).
- Sites are served at https://thin.host/s/<slug>/ until a custom domain is mapped. Static-site generators need their base path set to /s/<slug>/ for that preview URL, or / once a custom domain points at the site.
- Custom domains: CNAME to cname.thin.host from the dashboard (TLS is automatic), or the provision_domain tool / POST /v1/domains claim flow at $8/month per domain.
- API keys and the dashboard: sign up at https://thin.host/signup.
