Upshift
Audit a site's structured data and llms.txt, match a trade to a template, and quote real prices.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http upshift 'https://mcp.upshiftsites.com/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"upshift": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.upshiftsites.com/mcp"
}
}
}
upshift-mcpclaude mcp add upshift -- npx -y upshift-mcp@1.0.3
{
"mcpServers": {
"upshift": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"upshift-mcp@1.0.3"
]
}
}
}

upshift-mcp
Upshift's reference MCP server. Three tools, deployed remote, on MCP spec revision 2026-07-28.
It exists to do two jobs at once: be genuinely useful to an agent, and be the worked example a buyer looks at before paying us to build theirs. Every price it quotes is generated from the live store, so it cannot invent one.
https://mcp.upshiftsites.com/mcp
{
"mcpServers": {
"upshift": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.upshiftsites.com/mcp" }
}
}
Or run the same server locally, for clients that spawn a command rather than call a URL. Nothing to clone or build — it is published on npm:
{
"mcpServers": {
"upshift": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "upshift-mcp"] }
}
}
The same binary from a shell. stdio is the default; --http serves the full
Worker on localhost instead:
npx upshift-mcp
Tools
| Tool | Does |
|---|---|
upshift_site_audit(url) | Fetches a live page and reports structured data, llms.txt, robots.txt, title and meta budgets, headings, alt-text coverage, HTTPS and document weight, with a 0-100 score and a fix for each finding. |
upshift_template_match(industry, needs?) | Ranks the 14 website template lines against a trade, with live demo links, store links and real prices, and explains why each matched. |
upshift_quote(job_type, scope?) | The real price table for MCP server work and for websites. |
Free and rate limited to 20 calls/minute per IP.

Working on it
npm install
npm run dev # http://127.0.0.1:8788/mcp
npm run ci:verify # typecheck + tests + evals
wrangler dev needs macOS 13.5+ and will not boot on the build machine, so
npm run dev serves the production src/worker.ts on Node against an
in-memory KV. Same handler, same routes, same tools — not a second
implementation. Deployment is still wrangler deploy.
Prices come from ../upshift-agency-site/src/data/store.ts. After changing
them there:
npm run gen:catalog
Deploying
Live since 2026-08-16 at https://mcp.upshiftsites.com/mcp. KV namespace
and custom domain are provisioned; npm run deploy ships a new version.

Honest gaps
In docs/VALIDATION.md — what is verified, what is not, the four real bugs the eval suite caught during the build (one of them a security bypass), and the fifth it missed. That document is the argument for shipping evals alongside a server, which is the part of this we sell; the miss is part of the argument, not an exception to it.
