Ship sites from Claude Code.

Give Claude Code nine tools (ship, patch, rollback, file read/write) so it can deploy and edit your live website from the chat. Two commands, 60 seconds.

Install guide →Read the deep-dive

The 60-second setup

  1. Install the Krexel CLI and MCP server

    `npm install -g krexel` installs the CLI plus the `krexel-mcp` server. No Docker, no Python, no extra dependencies.

  2. Log in once

    `krexel login` opens a browser, asks for your email, and writes a token to `~/.krexel/auth.json`. No password, no card.

  3. Add the MCP server to Claude Code

    `claude mcp add --transport stdio krexel -- krexel-mcp` registers the nine tools. Restart Claude Code.

  4. Verify the tools are loaded

    In Claude Code, ask: "What tools do you have for Krexel?" — the response should list ship, patch, rollback, get_current_site, read_file, write_file, delete_file, list_files, init.

  5. Ship your first site

    Ask: "Create a portfolio site for me and ship it to my krexel.app subdomain." — 30 seconds later you have a live URL.

What you can do with it

Ship a new site in 30 seconds

Tell Claude Code what you want. It calls `init` to create a project, writes the HTML/CSS/JS, and calls `ship` to deploy. Live URL in the chat in 30 seconds.

Edit the live site in 8 seconds

Tell Claude Code: "Change the H1 on the home page to X." It calls `get_current_site` to see what is deployed, then `patch` to update one file. Change is live in 8 seconds.

Iterate in real time

Use the chat like a pair-programming session. The AI makes the edit, you see the result, you ask for the next change, the AI makes it. No waiting for builds.

Try these prompts

After installing, paste any of these into Claude Code to see the deploy/edit workflow:

  • Create a coffee shop site with cream-and-ember colors, three pages, a contact form, and a Maps embed. Ship to krexel.app.
  • Read the live index.html and add a footer with my email and copyright.
  • Change the H1 to 'Welcome to Driftwood' and add a tagline underneath.

Your key stays yours

Stored in your tool's config. Revoke any time from krexel.com/settings/keys — access cuts off instantly.

Works alongside your other tools

Install in Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code. Same API key works in all of them.

No lock-in

All Krexel tools wrap a public HTTP API. If you stop using any one AI client, your data and sites stay on Krexel.
