Charming — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Charming lets an MCP client create, host, and update interactive web apps with live URLs and stored state. Use it when a chat-driven build needs a published result.
claude mcp add --transport http charming https://charm.ing/mcpWhat Charming does
Charming is a hosted MCP server for generating and maintaining interactive web applications. An AI client can create an app, publish it at a live URL, and work with its stored data through callable operations. It supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Cline, Zed, and Gemini CLI.
The server exposes 37 tools. They cover app creation and edits, asset uploads, sharing roles, templates, feedback, scheduled Routines, and Webhooks. Separate read and write operations can run inside an app without changing its source.
Connect through https://charm.ing/mcp. OAuth can bootstrap the required bearer token through a one-time consent flow, so a client may not need a key pasted by hand. A public app uses one shared data pool for anonymous visitors, which means anyone holding its URL can overwrite or wipe that data.

- create an interactive web app from an AI client
- publish a project with a live URL
- store and update application data
- share an app with editing or read-only access
