Cockatoo for developers · MCP
Your AI assistant. Your business website.
Turn a conversation into a hosted business website. Connect Cockatoo to an MCP-compatible assistant to create a draft, update your content and publish with your approval.
https://app.cockatoo.com.au/mcpFrom a first idea to a live website.
Create from a conversation
Tell your assistant about your business. It can choose a starting point and prepare your website content.
Keep it up to date
Ask for changes to services, opening hours, images and copy, then review a private preview.
Publish with permission
Approve the website handoff and connect your account to give your assistant revocable site access.
How to connect
Use a client that supports remote MCP over Streamable HTTP and OAuth with PKCE. Client availability and setup screens vary.
- Add Cockatoo to your assistant. Open its MCP server or connector settings, add a remote server named Cockatoo, and paste the URL above.
- Ask it to prepare your website. Your assistant can explore templates and start an owner approval handoff before you connect an account.
- Review and approve. Open the returned approval link, sign in with the owner’s email and review the proposed site. For a new owner, approval publishes the website immediately.
- Connect to manage your site. Complete the Cockatoo OAuth sign-in when your client requests website access. Your assistant can then edit, preview and publish within the permissions you grant.
For client configuration and authentication details, see the MCP connection guide. The server URL is on app.cockatoo.com.au; this page explains how to use it.
Things to ask your assistant
- “Build a website for my plumbing business in Newcastle, with services, opening hours and a contact form.”
- “Update my Saturday opening hours and show me a preview before publishing.”
- “Add these photos to my website and improve the service descriptions.”
- “Publish the approved draft and give me the live website link.”

Start with a free website.
Free includes hosting, HTTPS, a Cockatoo address and a built-in enquiry form. Paid upgrades and domain setup happen in your dashboard. Compare the current plans.
Writes use request keys to make retries safe, and publishing checks the latest draft revision. See permissions, usage limits and retry guidance.
