What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines managing Netlify deployments via an MCP interface by providing clear steps to authenticate, trigger builds, inspect deploys, manage environment variables, and debug serverless functions so teams can reliably deploy JAMstack sites and recover from build failures.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Site discovery and selection: list Netlify sites and retrieve site metadata to identify deployment targets.
• Deploy orchestration: trigger deploys (including clear-cache rebuilds), create preview deploys for branches, poll deploy status, and validate live sites after deployment.
• Environment and function management: update environment variables, trigger rebuilds to apply changes, list Netlify Functions, and inspect function runtimes and endpoints.
• Troubleshooting and recovery: fetch failed deploy details and build logs, identify common build errors, monitor function invocations and logs, and restore previous successful deploys when necessary.
• Use Case: Deploy a preview for a feature branch, debug a failing production build caused by a missing env var, and rollback to the last successful deploy if the issue persists.

Quick Start

Trigger a Netlify MCP deploy for site my-app with clear_cache enabled and poll the deploy status until it is ready.
