Arlet makes Netlify's official MCP server available from the AI client you already use. Signing in completes the connection.

The AI can create, configure and deploy projects and manage environment variables, forms, access controls and extensions. The available tools are those provided by Netlify's official server, split into reader and updater tools.

How to connect Netlify to Claude

  1. 1

    In the Arlet dashboard, open Integrations → Add an integration and choose Netlify. Sign in with Link Netlify, name the connection and click Create.

  2. 2

    In Claude, open Organization settings → Connectors from the account menu at the bottom left, then click + Add.

  3. 3

    Choose Custom → Web, enter "Arlet" as the Name and https://mcp.arlet.dev/mcp/ as the Remote MCP server URL, then click Add. Authentication settings are auto-detected, so keep the defaults.

  4. 4

    The first time you use it, sign in with Google. After that, every service you switched on in Arlet is available from Claude.

Adding a connector is done by an organization admin on Team / Enterprise plans. On Pro / Max you can add it for yourself from Settings → Connectors with the same steps.
