Connect a Client
The Squarespace MCP server is a remote MCP endpoint. You do not install a local server binary; your client connects over HTTPS.
Server URL
Code
Authentication: None. No API key, OAuth flow, or Squarespace account is required to connect or call the public domain tools.
Claude (Desktop)
- Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config (or your client's MCP configuration file).
- Add a server entry pointing at
https://mcp.squarespace.com/mcpusing your client's supported transport (HTTP/SSE remote MCP). - Restart the client if required.
- Confirm domains_search and domains_generate_names appear in the tool list.
Exact UI labels change between Claude releases; treat the URL above as the stable value.
ChatGPT
- Open Settings → Connectors (or Apps & Connectors, depending on your plan and client version).
- Add a custom MCP or remote MCP connector with URL
https://mcp.squarespace.com/mcp. - Enable the connector for a new chat.
- Confirm domain tools are available before asking domain questions.
Gemini
- In Gemini settings, add an MCP or extension endpoint if your build supports remote MCP (feature availability varies).
- Set the server URL to
https://mcp.squarespace.com/mcp. - Start a chat with the connector enabled.
Any MCP-compatible client
Configure a remote MCP server with:
- URL:
https://mcp.squarespace.com/mcp - Protocol: MCP over HTTP (JSON-RPC); send
initialize, thentools/list/tools/callas your client requires.
Example tools/list request:
Code
Use headers Content-Type: application/json and Accept: application/json, text/event-stream.
Verify your connection
After connecting, try a natural-language message such as:
"Check whether example-test-domain.com is available on Squarespace."
The client should call domains_search (or an equivalent prompt) and return availability and pricing—not an HTTP error from a REST path on the developer portal.
