B12's Model Context Protocol server enables AI-powered website generation by connecting to MCP clients like the Claude Desktop app. This server helps you leverage AI capabilities to create websites through a simple interface and configuration.
To install and use the B12 Website Generator MCP server with Claude Desktop, you'll need to add a specific configuration to your Claude Desktop settings.
Add the following configuration to the "mcpServers" section of your claude_desktop_config.json
file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"b12": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@b12/website-generator-mcp-server"]
}
}
}
This configuration tells Claude Desktop to use npx
to run the B12 Website Generator MCP server, installing it on demand if needed.
Once you've configured the MCP server in Claude Desktop, you can start generating websites through the Claude interface. The server will handle the AI-powered website generation process based on your inputs and requirements provided through the Claude Desktop app.
When interacting with Claude, you can request website generation functionality, and the MCP server will process your request through the established connection.
There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json
file so that it is available in all of your projects.
If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json
file.
To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > MCP and click "Add new global MCP server".
When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json
file will be opened and you can add your server like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cursor-rules-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"cursor-rules-mcp"
]
}
}
}
To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json
file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.
Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.
The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.
You can also explictly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
