The Problem
You have an idea for a website. Maybe it's a visualization, a tool, a quick demo. But between "idea" and "deployed" is an hour of DNS configuration, build pipelines, and deployment scripts. By then, the energy is gone.
What I Built
Smallbot MCP—an MCP server that lets AI assistants (Claude, etc.) create and deploy websites instantly using Smallweb.
How it works:
- Say "make me a site about northeastern trees"
- AI generates the code via MCP tools
- Smallweb deploys it to a real URL
- Done in seconds, not hours
Why MCP?
Model Context Protocol gives AI assistants the ability to take real actions—not just generate text. Smallbot is a practical example: give Claude the tools to create websites, and it actually creates websites.
Made a video with Smallweb's creator showing the setup. Part of my broader work on AI-human creative workflows and indieweb philosophies.
