2ools — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Remote MCP service that publishes web previews, tracks project revisions, and exports code directly from your AI conversation.
claude mcp add --transport http mcp https://2ools.app/mcpWhat 2ools does
This remote server connects via HTTP to https://2ools.app/mcp. It equips your assistant with capabilities to stage interfaces, monitor revisions, and download code. The create_public_preview action runs free without an account, transforming raw standalone HTML into a viewable link valid for 24 hours.
The service exposes 43 tools. Each tool includes explicit annotations indicating whether it performs safe reads or destructive actions. Through these endpoints, models can convert discussion briefs into tracked projects, check differences between builds, manage approvals, and download source bundles.
Without completing the browser-based OAuth 2.1 flow, project management endpoints stay locked. If your setup demands a local stdio worker, the project includes a Node.js translation proxy alongside a Dockerfile.
What it helps with
- publish temporary public preview links for single-file HTML pages
- convert chat instructions into persistent versioned web projects
- inspect differences across project revisions without raw source output
- process approval or rejection requests for updated project builds
- bundle plain source files into an exportable zip archive
Example prompts for the agent
- Turn this layout into a single HTML file, publish a 2ools preview, and share the URL
- Store this chat as a persistent 2ools project and check what changed from the prior build
- Generate an export package containing the files of the active version
