Best practices
Always verify site ID before operations
Use list_sites to confirm you have the correct site ID before performing operations. Site IDs are required for most MCP server tools.
Test before publishing
Preview your changes in the Designer before publishing to production domains. Publishing is immediate and affects live sites.
Specify domains explicitly
When publishing, explicitly specify which domains to publish to. This gives you precise control over where changes go live.
Check publishing status
Use get_site to verify the last published date and ensure your changes have been deployed successfully.
Limitations
- Requires authentication: You can only access sites where you have appropriate permissions
- Rate limits: Publishing operations may be rate-limited to prevent accidental over-publishing
