🤖 Pointing an AI agent here? Tell it this

Agents often assume a hostname needs a connector — it doesn't. This is a public endpoint you POST to directly. Paste this into your agent (click to copy):

Build a simple demo website, then publish it to GearHost by POSTing directly to its public MCP endpoint at https://mcp.gearhost.com/ — a Streamable-HTTP JSON-RPC API you call with a plain HTTP POST (curl/fetch). Do NOT look for or install a connector, an MCP-registry entry, FTP, or a git remote, and no auth is needed. To publish, POST a JSON-RPC tools/call for the publish_website tool with your HTML. If unsure of the exact call, GET https://mcp.gearhost.com/ first — it returns the full how-to. The response's result.structuredContent.url is the live site.

The phrases that break the "I need a connector" assumption: "POST directly," "public endpoint — no connector/registry/auth," "GET it first."

🟣 Claude MCP — native

Claude.ai / Desktop: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste https://mcp.gearhost.com/ (no auth).

Claude Code (CLI): run

claude mcp add --transport http gearhost https://mcp.gearhost.com/

Transport http (Streamable HTTP), auth none. Then ask Claude to “publish this site to GearHost” — the tools (publish_website, get_site_status, rollback_website, …) appear automatically.

No setup at all? You can also just POST a JSON-RPC tools/call to https://mcp.gearhost.com/ directly — it's a public endpoint (a plain GET returns a how-to).

⚡ Cursor & VS Code one click

Or add it by hand: an HTTP MCP server at https://mcp.gearhost.com/ with no auth. Then ask the agent to “publish this site to GearHost”.

🟢 ChatGPT GPT Action or MCP connector

As a custom GPT Action:

Create/edit a GPT → Configure → Actions → Create new action.
Import from URL: https://octane.gearhost.com/preview/?openapi
Authentication: None (to update an existing site later, the GPT sends the returned token as a Bearer header).
Save. Now prompt: “Publish an HTML landing page to GearHost.”

Prefer MCP? In ChatGPT’s connector/developer settings, add the MCP URL https://mcp.gearhost.com/ instead.

🔵 Google Gemini OpenAPI or function tools

AI Studio / Gemini API: register a tool from the function declarations at https://octane.gearhost.com/preview/?gemini (or import the OpenAPI at https://octane.gearhost.com/preview/?openapi).
When the model calls publish_website, have your app POST the JSON to https://octane.gearhost.com/preview/.
The response includes the live url and a token to update it later.

🟠 Microsoft Copilot Copilot Studio connector

In Copilot Studio → Tools → New tool → Custom connector (Power Platform).
Import an OpenAPI file from URL: https://octane.gearhost.com/preview/?openapi=2.0 (Copilot connectors use Swagger 2.0).
Host: octane.gearhost.com, scheme HTTPS. Save & publish, then add the publishWebsite action to your agent.

How it works

Anonymous — no key needed to publish. Send one of html, files, or zip_base64.
Update — reuse the returned token (Bearer), or publish again with the same name + project_key (a ≥16-char secret you store) to update across sessions.
Keep it — sites auto-remove ~72h after the last edit unless claimed. The publish response includes a claim_url; register a notify_url webhook to get an expiring_soon nudge.
Public — content is world-readable. Never publish secrets.

Contact forms

A static site can still have a working contact form. Point any HTML form at GearHost Forms and each message is emailed to the site owner, who can reply straight to the visitor. It starts working once the site is kept in a GearHost account.

<form action="https://octane.gearhost.com/forms/" method="POST">
  <input type="hidden" name="_site" value="mysite.gearhost.io">
  <input name="name" required>
  <input name="email" type="email" required>
  <textarea name="message" required></textarea>
  <input type="text" name="_gotcha" style="display:none" tabindex="-1" autocomplete="off">
  <button>Send</button>
</form>

Optional hidden fields: _subject (email subject), _next (a thank-you page on the same site). _gotcha is a spam trap.
Send Accept: application/json from fetch() to get {"ok":true} instead of a page.
Password, card and ID fields are refused. Free sites receive 100 messages a month; paid plans have no monthly limit.
Owners see every message, change where they go, or turn the form off in the site's Forms tab.
