Productivity Other Tools and Integrations

htmldrop is a service that takes a file or a chunk of content and gives you back a web link you can send to anyone. This MCP server connects your AI assistant to htmldrop, so when your AI writes a report, a chart or a small dashboard, it can publish it for you in one step. It is handy for anyone who wants to share what their AI made without emailing files around or setting up a website.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you inside the app. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to another service. This one connects your AI to htmldrop, so the AI can hand your content over to htmldrop and get a live link back. You do not install anything for the hosted version: you just add the address of the server once, and your AI gains the ability to publish.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI to publish something, for example a report it just wrote or an HTML file you have. The AI uses this helper to send the content to htmldrop. htmldrop stores it and creates its own little web address, like happy-otter-42.htmldrop.link. It also builds a preview card so the link looks nice when you paste it into chat or email. Then the AI tells you the link, and you can share it with anyone. Links expire after a set number of days, so old things do not pile up forever.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Turn this report into a web link”, the htmldrop MCP server works in steps: send your content, then htmldrop stores it, then makes a link, and you get back A web link you can share.

What you can do with it

Add a password to a link so only the right people can open it
Fetch an existing web page and republish it as your own link

Try asking your AI

“Publish this report as a web page and give me the link”
“Turn this Markdown summary into a shareable page that expires in 3 days”
“Upload this chart image and send me the link”
“Publish this dashboard HTML with the password team2025”

What it gives back to you

You get back a web link you can click or paste anywhere. The AI usually also tells you the expiry date and, if you set one, that the link is password protected. If something went wrong, you get a short message explaining it instead of a link.

Before you start

What you need

An AI app that supports MCP servers, such as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor or Codex CLI
For Claude Desktop and Codex CLI, Node.js installed so the mcp-remote bridge can run

Good to know

Anything you publish gets a public web address, so do not publish private or sensitive content unless you set a password, and remember that links expire after the number of days you choose.
