# Claude hosting for AI-generated static websites

> Use Claude to generate static files, then let StaticX publish the output through the dashboard, CLI, API, or MCP.

## Turn Claude artifacts into files

Claude often returns a strong page in an artifact. StaticX gives that artifact a real file tree, required 404.html, form rules, and a production deployment target.

## Use a narrow agent contract

Give Claude instructions to build static files, validate links and forms, deploy only the output root, then report the live URL or exact API error.

## Keep revisions measurable

Each Claude-made change can become a release with version analytics, lead attribution, and instant rollback.

## Publish a Claude artifact as a real website

Use Claude for generation and review, then let StaticX own hosting, versioning, domains, forms, and analytics.

1. **Export the artifact** — Move the final HTML, CSS, and assets into a clean folder with index.html and 404.html at the root.
2. **Apply deploy rules** — Ask Claude to verify relative asset paths, form field names, metadata, accessibility basics, and missing-page behavior.
3. **Publish with a token** — Use MCP, CLI, API, or manual upload so the Claude output becomes a tracked StaticX release.

## Claude writes well; production needs a release system.

A Claude artifact can look finished while still missing the operational pieces of a website: a stable URL, a 404 page, analytics, lead capture, custom domain setup, and rollback.

StaticX turns the reviewed artifact into production files. The token can be site-scoped, the deployment is visible in history, and the release can be reverted if a later prompt breaks the page.

## Claude deployment safeguards

- **Artifact-to-folder handoff** — Do not deploy a chat transcript. Deploy the actual HTML, CSS, scripts, and assets the browser needs.
- **Prompt-visible checklist** — Tell Claude to confirm index.html, 404.html, links, forms, and asset paths before any deploy command.
- **Scoped publish authority** — Use a site token when Claude only needs to publish one StaticX site.

## FAQ

### Can Claude Artifacts be hosted on StaticX?

Yes. Export the artifact into static files, include the required pages, and publish the folder through StaticX.

### What should my Claude prompt include before deployment?

Ask Claude to verify index.html, 404.html, relative assets, metadata, forms, and the StaticX deploy command or MCP tool result.

### Can Claude update an existing StaticX site?

Yes, when it has a scoped token and project context. It should deploy a new release rather than overwriting history invisibly.

### How do I avoid exposing tokens to Claude?

Keep the real token in the MCP client or environment. The prompt should mention STATICX_API_TOKEN, not the secret value.
