Derive MCP server

Publish, review, and own your AI artifacts.

One durable URL for every version, comment, revision, and decision. Your team reviews the work; any compatible agent can act on the feedback. Hosted, or one self-hosted container.

No account or install is needed. One request publishes a live page:

curl -F file=@page.html https://derive.to/v1/drafts   # or a .zip of a whole site
# → a live URL, plus a claim link that turns the draft into a
#   permanent, versioned artifact in your workspace

Give your agent a durable place to publish, find, and improve work:

npx skills add derive-to/derive --skill derive        # any agent that reads skills
claude mcp add --transport http derive https://derive.to/mcp   # or connect over MCP

Or paste this into a compatible coding agent and let it set itself up:

I'd like you to set up Derive: where the work we make gets published, reviewed, and kept.

Install the skill if I have npm: npx skills add derive-to/derive --skill derive
Otherwise, read https://derive.to/skill.md and follow it (MCP server: https://derive.to/mcp).

Then pick a plan, report, or designed page we've worked on recently and publish it. If I'm not connected to Derive, use the anonymous draft flow. It needs no account and returns a live URL with a claim link. Send me both links.

What is Derive

Derive is a workspace for work made with agents. Give an HTML page, Markdown document, LaTeX paper, deck, or built site a lasting URL and version history. Publish from the browser, CLI, HTTP API, or a compatible agent over MCP. Keep the work private or share it, leave comments, edit it directly, and publish the next version at the same URL.

The content, version history, and comments stay with each artifact. A teammate or another agent can open the same URL and see what changed without reconstructing the work from a chat.

A workspace can also keep Contexts: reusable packages of instructions, skills, sources, and permissions. Agents use them to answer questions or do work, then publish results to the same artifact library.

Derive is Fair Source and self-hostable. Run it as one container on your own infrastructure or use the hosted app.

Features

Publish anything, get a permanent URL

HTML, Markdown, a LaTeX paper, or a whole built site. Every revision is a new version at the same URL, so a link you shared last week still resolves, and still shows its history.

Comments and changes stay with the work

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
