How to publish a website with Claude in 2026
TL;DR
Ask Claude to build a static site, connect a publishing connector over the Model Context Protocol, then say "publish my site". The files go online on a real address in minutes. With SayLive the publish is a single payment of €99, after a 14-day free trial.
What you need before you start
Publishing from Claude relies on two things: an agent that can generate the site, and a connector that can put the files online. You already have the first.
- A Claude account. Custom connectors are open on every plan, Free included, with one connector at a time on Free
- Claude on the web or Claude Desktop, where you add the connector under Connectors
- A publishing connector such as SayLive, added once
Step by step: from prompt to live site
- Ask Claude to build the site. Describe the pages, the tone and the content. Claude returns HTML, CSS and any assets.
- Review it in the conversation. Ask for changes until it looks right. This costs you nothing beyond your existing plan.
- Connect the publishing connector in Claude Desktop settings, under connectors. You authorise it once.
- Say "publish my site". The connector receives the files, checks them, and puts them online.
- Claude replies with your live address, for example yoursite.saylive.site. The site is up.
You never open a design editor or a deploy dashboard. The whole flow happens in the chat.
What does it cost?
The generation runs on the Claude plan you already pay for. The publishing is where SayLive comes in: a 14-day free trial with a small live banner, then a single payment of €99 to publish the site for good, with no subscription.
That is the "bring your own agent, don't pay twice" idea. You are not buying a second pile of AI credits, only the last mile that gets the site online.
Where else can a Claude website be published?
A connector is one of five places the site can go. The Publish button in Claude gives a shareable link on Anthropic's domain, fine for a prototype and without a domain of your own. Netlify Drop and GitHub Pages host the files for free if you export them and handle DNS yourself. Vercel is the home for a project with a server. A ZIP host gives a free link on a subdomain.
Which one fits depends on whether the site is a page or a full project, and whether it needs an address of its own. Where to publish my Claude website puts the five side by side, with every vendor fact checked at the source and dated.
Updating the site later
To change the site, you go back to the conversation, ask for the edit, and say "publish" again. Each publish is a new version, and you can roll back to an earlier one by asking for it. The docs cover updates, versions and rollback.
What decides whether the result is any good is not the publishing step, it is what you asked for before it. Brief your assistant properly and review the output before it goes live: those two habits are most of the difference.
Questions fréquentes
Can Claude publish a website on its own?
Claude can write the site, but it needs a connector to put files online. With a Model Context Protocol connector like SayLive added to Claude Desktop, you can publish straight from the conversation by asking Claude to do it.
Do I need to know how to code to publish from Claude?
No. Claude generates the site from your instructions and the connector handles publishing. You only write in plain language.
Is there a free way to try it?
Yes. SayLive gives a 14-day free trial. Your site is live during the trial with a small banner, and you pay €99 once to publish it cleanly for good.
Do I need a paid Claude plan to add a connector?
No. As of September 2026, custom connectors are available on every Claude plan, Free included, with one custom connector at a time on Free. Pro, Max and Team accounts add as many as they need.
