Remote MCP endpoint: https://app.cockatoo.com.au/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP. Add the endpoint in an MCP client that supports OAuth with PKCE and dynamic client registration. Connect your Cockatoo account and approve the website permissions you want to grant. No local server installation or API key is needed.

This is a generic connection example; use your client's documented remote MCP configuration. OAuth discovery: https://app.cockatoo.com.au/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp.
Build a website
- Call
catalogfor templates, industries, styles andexampleDocument. - Fill in the document from the business details the owner supplies.
- Call
start_onboardingwith the owner's email, agent name, document and a randomidempotencyKey. - Give the owner the returned
approvalUrl. The owner signs in, verifies their email and reviews the draft. For a new owner, approval can publish the website immediately. - Connect the owner's account through OAuth for subsequent MCP website operations. Confirm
publication_statusreportsliveand aliveUrlbefore claiming publication.
Public tools work before OAuth. Existing website management requires owner consent. Keep continuation credentials and tokens private. The optional onboarding exchange returns an API token for REST/CLI use, not an MCP token.

Permissions and pricing
Scopes: sites:read, sites:write, sites:publish. The connection has no access to customer enquiries, payments, billing settings or domains. Owners can revoke access at any time from Agent access.
A free plan is available. Paid upgrades and domain services are managed directly by the owner. See current pricing.
Registry metadata
Official MCP Registry name: io.github.louisblythe/cockatoo. The remote-only listing is described in server.json.
This repository contains public connection documentation and listing metadata. The hosted Cockatoo service is maintained separately; its implementation is not distributed by this repository. The MIT license applies to the files in this repository, not to the hosted service.
Verify the public endpoint
With Node.js 22 or later, run npm run verify. No dependencies or account are required. The check performs initialize, tool discovery, catalogue read, OAuth discovery and an unauthenticated website read that must receive HTTP 401. It never creates or publishes a website.
To additionally verify a permitted site read, set COCKATOO_MCP_TOKEN privately in your environment. The script does not print credentials or website content. Revoke any temporary test connection afterward.
