# Plugin

> A plugin for Cursor, Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI: the publish-online skill and the ShipStatic MCP server, so your agent publishes with no account needed.

Source: https://docs.shipstatic.com/plugin

Deploy static websites, landing pages, and prototypes instantly from your coding agent. Free, no account needed. [GIT](https://github.com/shipstatic/plugin)

## Install

**Cursor**, from the Cursor Marketplace (the listing isn't live yet):

```
/add-plugin shipstatic
```

Until then, add `https://mcp.shipstatic.com` as an MCP server in Cursor's settings, or install just the skill with `npx skills add shipstatic/plugin`.

**Claude Code:**

```
/plugin marketplace add shipstatic/plugin
/plugin install shipstatic@shipstatic
```

**Codex:**

```bash
codex plugin marketplace add shipstatic/plugin
codex plugin add shipstatic@shipstatic
```

**Gemini CLI:**

```bash
gemini extensions install https://github.com/shipstatic/plugin
```

Gemini CLI serves paid and API-key plans. Google moved free users to Antigravity CLI.

After installing, start a new chat (in Cursor, reload the window first) so your agent sees the plugin.

## What it gives your agent

One [skill](https://docs.shipstatic.com/skill), `publish-online`, and one [MCP](https://docs.shipstatic.com/mcp) server, `https://mcp.shipstatic.com`. Your agent picks how the files travel:

- **A folder on disk** goes through the [CLI](https://docs.shipstatic.com/cli), with `npx -y @shipstatic/ship@3`. It needs Node.js 20.19 or newer, and nothing to install.
- **When the CLI can't run** (no Node.js, no network, or a host with no shell), a few small files go through the MCP server's `deployments_upload` tool.

Ask it to put what you made online. Without an account the site is public and expires in **3 days**, and the reply carries a **claim URL** to keep it permanently. Ask for a password and your agent uses ShipStatic's built-in password protection.

## Into your account

Optional. Publishing needs no account, and the claim link moves a site into your account later. Each way has its own setup:

- **The CLI** publishes into your account once you run `npx -y @shipstatic/ship@3 config` with your [API Key](https://docs.shipstatic.com/api-key).
- **The MCP server** publishes into your account once you sign in. Your agent asks you to sign in when it first uses an account tool. Cursor doesn't offer this sign-in yet, so in Cursor use the claim link.
