Dochost Mcp

dochost MCP server

Publish Markdown or HTML to a clean, shareable link — straight from your AI assistant. The dochost MCP server gives Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any other MCP client a publish tool: ask your assistant to share a document and it hands back a public dochost link. No copy-paste, no separate dashboard.

• 🌐 Website: https://dochost.io
• 🔌 MCP server: https://dochost.io/mcp
• 🛰️ Endpoint: https://dochost.io/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, OAuth)
• 🔑 Auth: OAuth sign-in — no API keys

Why

Your LLM produced a report, a README, an HTML artifact. Sending it shouldn't mean a screenshot or a raw .md blob. dochost turns that output into a normal web page at its own URL, in one tool call. Markdown and HTML are rendered live.

Quick start

Claude Code (one line):

claude mcp add --transport http dochost https://dochost.io/api/mcp

Then run /mcp inside Claude Code and approve in the browser. Add --scope user to use it in every project.

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code / Windsurf — add a remote HTTP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dochost": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://dochost.io/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

You authorize once via OAuth in the browser; the assistant then publishes as you, and output follows your dochost plan's entitlements.

Which auth method?

| Client | Recommended auth | Why | |---|---|---| | OpenClaw, Hermes | API key | Headless agents (e.g. a Telegram orchestrator). A static Bearer key works with the plain-HTTP skill and any MCP runner, with no browser step per session. | | Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, VS Code, Windsurf, and all other MCP clients | OAuth | One browser approval, nothing long-lived stored in config; the assistant publishes as you. |

Keep the API key like any secret: store it as an environment variable / host secret (never commit it), and revoke or rotate it from Settings → API keys if it leaks.

Agents (OpenClaw, Hermes) — API key

OpenClaw and Hermes are headless, so they authenticate with an API key. Create one at dochost.io → Settings → API keys, export it as DOCHOST_API_KEY, and either:

• Install the skill — a self-contained publish skill that works on any agent

that can make an HTTP request: [skills/dochost-publish/](./skills/dochost-publish/SKILL.md).

• Wire the MCP — point the agent at https://dochost.io/api/mcp with the key as

a Bearer header: [examples/mcporter.config.json](./examples/mcporter.config.json).

Per-host install guides:

• OpenClaw → [clients/openclaw.md](./clients/openclaw.md)
• Hermes → [clients/hermes.md](./clients/hermes.md)

One-shot from a shell: [examples/publish.sh](./examples/publish.sh).
