Tutorial

Install

Install the Lessly MCP in your AI agent.

By the end of this page, your AI agent can call Lessly tools to deploy and manage your apps. Installation takes about 30 seconds.

Prerequisites

A Lessly workspace — sign up at lessly.com (Google sign-in).
A supported AI agent: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or Cursor.

Add Lessly to your agent

Pick the agent you use. Each tab shows the only step you need.

Run this in your terminal:

bash

claude mcp add lessly https://mcp.lessly.com

Claude Code opens your browser to authenticate. Sign in with the same Google account you used for Lessly. The connection is live as soon as the browser confirms — no restart.

Open ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and add the Lessly server:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lessly": {
      "url": "https://mcp.lessly.com"
    }
  }
}

Quit and reopen Claude Desktop. Sign in when prompted.

Open Settings → MCP → Add Server. Paste https://mcp.lessly.com as the server URL. Authenticate in the browser when prompted.

Try it

Ask your agent:

Show me my recent deployments.

The agent calls the lessly_list_deployments tool. A list (or an empty list with a tool-call confirmation) means the install worked.

What you can do next

Your agent now has the full lessly_* toolset. A few prompts to try:

“Deploy my latest commit to staging.”
“Roll back the last production deploy.”
“What environment variables are set on the api service?”

If a call fails, check the workspace you signed in with — the MCP shows the active workspace name in its initialization message.
