Church Website Editor

Overview

Church Website Editor is a hosted MCP server from Pastor Eli that lets an AI assistant edit a church website by operating on the caller's GitHub repository. It exposes 25 tools for site discovery, repository/file reads, content edits, uploads, history and undo, deployment checks, custom domains, analytics, and website scoring.

Installation

Add the server as a remote connector with URL https://www.elijahdesent.com/api/mcp. The setup walkthrough documents Claude AI connector setup through Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector. The docs also mention ChatGPT developer mode and Perplexity connector support.

Configuration

No local package installation, command, or environment variables are documented. The server is a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint. OAuth discovery is published at /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server and /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource.

Authentication

The server uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration. On first connect, the MCP client opens GitHub sign-in. Tokens are bound to the GitHub account and calls are scoped to repositories the caller already owns or can access.

Capabilities

Read-only tools can list sites/repositories, inspect framework information, list pages/photos, read files, and search content. Commit tools can replace text, replace/create full files, upload media, and revert changes. Status and Vercel-oriented tools check deployment and custom-domain state. Analytics tools summarize traffic, top pages, referrers, and daily trends. The scoring tool fetches website pages and rubric content for model-side scoring.

Limitations

Writes commit to the default branch by default and Vercel auto-deploys production in about 30 seconds. edit_file replaces full file contents and includes a shrink guard. Custom domain setup still requires the user to change DNS at their registrar. Access is limited to GitHub repositories available to the authenticated user.
