Shares agent artifacts at fixed versioned addresses, pulls review comments into the context, and lets the model publish updates.

## What it does

The MCP server links your coding agent to Derive through an HTTP endpoint. It outputs HTML pages, Markdown notes, research papers, or static builds onto permanent URLs. Revisions stay under the same web address rather than generating separate disposable links.

Reviewers can attach feedback directly to highlighted sections in the browser. Connected agents fetch these notes via MCP and upload focused revisions without manual copy-pasting.

Artifact rendering is sandboxed behind an opaque origin to keep sessions safe from external cookies. Self-hosting requires just a single container backed by local storage and SQLite, or Postgres with S3 for larger setups.

## Requirements
- Remote server: `https://derive.to/mcp`

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Platform CLI: remote server**
```bash
claude mcp add --transport http derive https://derive.to/mcp
```

### Codex

**Platform CLI: remote server**
```bash
codex mcp add derive --url https://derive.to/mcp
```

### Cursor

**Config file**
File `.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "derive": {
            "url": "https://derive.to/mcp"
        }
    }
}
```

### GitHub Copilot

**Config file**
File `.vscode/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "servers": {
        "derive": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://derive.to/mcp"
        }
    }
}
```

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI: remote server**
```bash
gemini mcp add -t http derive https://derive.to/mcp
```

## When to use it
- share generated HTML designs or reports through permanent links
- collect inline feedback from team members directly on rendered artifacts
- feed human review notes back into the agent workflow for revisions
- isolate untrusted rendered outputs on an opaque origin

## Example prompts
- Publish the current `report.html` to Derive and provide the claim link
- Inspect the latest reviewer comments on Derive and revise the layout accordingly
