What is the Tugboat MCP Server?

The Tugboat MCP Server acts as a translator that lets AI assistants like Claude interact with Tugboat's website preview system. Instead of using technical interfaces, you can simply ask Claude to manage your preview environments using everyday language.

How does it work?

After setup, when you ask Claude about Tugboat previews, it communicates with this server which then securely interacts with the Tugboat API. The server converts technical responses back into simple explanations.

When should I use this?

Perfect for developers who frequently manage multiple preview environments and want to save time through AI assistance, or teams who need to quickly share preview status updates during meetings.

Key Features

Preview Control
Create, start, stop, and delete website preview environments through simple chat commands
Real - time Status
Check build status, view logs, and monitor resource usage of preview environments
Project Organization
List and manage all your Tugboat projects and repositories through natural language
Cross - Platform Support
Works with both Claude Desktop and Cursor IDE with minimal configuration
Advantages
Saves time by managing previews through conversation instead of manual clicks
Reduces context switching between development tools and preview management
Provides natural language summaries of technical preview statuses
Enables quick preview sharing during team discussions
Limitations
Requires initial one - time setup with API key configuration
Limited to Tugboat features supported by the API
Complex preview configurations may still require manual setup

Getting Started

Install the Server
Install the server package on your local machine or a server you control
Configure Your AI Assistant
Add the server configuration to Claude Desktop or Cursor settings
Start Interacting
Simply ask your AI assistant about Tugboat previews in natural language

Example Interactions

Checking Project Status
During a standup meeting, quickly check which previews are available for testing
Creating Test Environments
