Buildez MCP Server

Build complete websites using AI through any MCP-compatible tool.

What is this?

This MCP server connects AI assistants to Buildez.ai, allowing you to create full websites just by describing what you want.

Example:

"Build me a website for Tony's Pizzeria - a family Italian restaurant in Brooklyn with online ordering"

And it will create a complete, live website for you.
