ShipStatic for VS Code

Deploy static websites, landing pages, and prototypes instantly — ask your AI assistant or use the command palette. Free, no account needed.

ShipStatic is static hosting without the complexity. No build steps, no framework lock-in — upload your files and get a live URL.

Chat with Your AI

This extension adds 15 ShipStatic tools via MCP. Just ask:

"Deploy my project" — uploads your build output and returns a live URL
"List my deployments" — shows everything you've deployed
"Set up www.example.com" — connects a custom domain to your site
"Check my DNS records" — verifies your domain configuration

All tools are available in agent mode automatically — no manual MCP configuration needed. Powered by the @shipstatic/mcp server.

Commands

Command	Description
ShipStatic: Deploy	Pick a folder, get a live URL
ShipStatic: Set API Key	Store your key securely in your OS keychain
ShipStatic: Account Info	Check your email, plan, and usage

A deploy button in the status bar provides one-click deployments.

Getting Started

Install the extension
Open the chat and ask to deploy your project

That's it. Your site is live instantly.

Password Protection

Want a private site? The Deploy command prompts for an optional password (6–128 characters). When set, visitors must unlock before viewing — on the deployment URL and on any custom domains pointing at it. In agent mode, just ask: "deploy with password hunter2".

API Key (optional)

Without an API key, deployments are public and expire in 3 days. For permanent deployments:

Get a free key at my.shipstatic.com/api-key
Run ShipStatic: Set API Key from the command palette
