# Novence

Static site hosting built for AI agents: your agent assembles the site, Novence hands it a place to ship it.

## What it does

Novence runs as a hosted MCP server, so there is nothing to start on your machine. The agent talks to `https://api.novence.ai/mcp` over streamable HTTP and drives the site through tools: create a project, push files, deploy, run quality checks. The repository only holds the Claude install package and a stdio adapter for MCP directories — the hosting API itself lives elsewhere.

Auth is optional at the start. Call `bootstrap(email)`, the session picks up an `nv_` key, and later sessions need `Authorization: Bearer nv_…`. Claude keeps the key through the plugin `userConfig`; Cursor and shell clients persist it as `NOVENCE_API_KEY`. Leave the key field blank during setup — an empty interpolation counts as unauthenticated, so bootstrap still works before you fill it in.

Some tools are gated by plan. `share_gate_emails` only applies to `*.novence.ai` domains, while `site_mcp`, `put_site_data`, preview aliases and the webmaster brief require Pro or Scale. `deploy` rolls back the last 5 releases, and `run_checks` covers Lighthouse, accessibility and links. Not on MCP at all? Use the REST fallback: `POST https://api.novence.ai/v1/demo` first, then `POST https://api.novence.ai/v1/bootstrap` with your email.

## When to use it
- ship a static site and get a live URL right away
- upload project files in a batch and confirm them
- run Lighthouse and link checks before publishing
- point a custom domain at the site
- roll back a deploy that broke something

## Example prompts
- Create a project and deploy this HTML into it
- Upload the files in `dist` and publish the site
- Run `run_checks` and show me what failed
