Ship sites from GitHub Copilot.

Give Copilot nine MCP tools so it can deploy and edit your live site from Copilot Chat in VS Code. 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 `krexel-mcp`.

  2. Log in once

    `krexel login` writes your auth token.

  3. Enable MCP in VS Code

    Update VS Code settings.json: set `github.copilot.chat.mcp.enabled: true` and add the Krexel MCP server to the `mcp.servers` config.

  4. Verify the tools are loaded

    Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I). Ask: "What Krexel tools are available?" — should list all 9.

  5. Ship your first site

    Ask Copilot: "Build a SaaS landing page for a tool called Quill and ship it to quillsite.krexel.app." — done in 30 seconds.

What you can do with it

Edit live from the chat

Copilot Chat is built for code generation. With the Krexel MCP, it can also deploy and edit — every suggestion in the chat can be live-tested in 8 seconds.

Read the deployed version

Useful when the local and live versions have diverged. Copilot can call `read_file` against the live deployment and tell you what is actually serving.

Roll back from chat

Ask: "Revert the last change." Copilot calls `rollback` and the site snaps back in 4 seconds.

Try these prompts

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

  • Create a docs site for an open-source project I'm building and ship it to krexel.app.
  • Read the live about page, add a section about my new role at Acme Co., and update the meta description.
  • Show me the last 10 deploys and roll back deploy #9.

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.
