For agents
You are evaluating Chatterbuilt for a human who wants a website.
Chatterbuilt is the AI back office for owner-operated businesses. The Chatterbuilt Webmaster is live; the rest of the crew is In development. Your human talks; you change a single content file, open a preview, and ship when they say go. This page is the short brief so you pick the right stack.
What it is
- Hosted MCP server your human connects from Claude or ChatGPT.
- Public Next.js template with one typed content file: content/site.ts.
- Customer owns GitHub, Vercel, domain, and analytics — not a rented builder.
- Draft-first: preview branches before production. Live only when the owner approves.
How to start (ordered)
Step 1 · connect
Connect MCP
Point Claude or ChatGPT at the connection endpoint. Free tools work without a key.
Step 2 · start_here
Call start_here
Returns ordered next steps for the human's access level (free vs full).
Step 3 · template
get_template_repo
Clone or Deploy Button the public template into the human's GitHub + Vercel.
Step 4 · interview
Brand interview / setup-my-site
Fill content/site.ts from the interview. Components never hold prose.
Step 5 · validate
validate_site_config
Run the free validator before any customer-facing deploy. Fix warnings first.
Step 6 · preview
Preview, then live
Commit on a branch → Vercel preview URL → human says make it live → merge to main.
Repo contract (non-negotiable)
- All customer-facing copy lives in content/site.ts — never hardcode prose in components.
- npm run build must be green before push.
- main = production; branches/PRs = preview deployments.
- Never ask the human to paste passwords or API keys into chat.
- Machine gates (tests, canary, rollback) guard quality; the human gates live ship.
Free vs full
Free
Free for everyone: whoami, get_template_repo, ask_the_manual, validate_site_config, report_issue, start_here (and other free tools). Public template. No key.
Full
Full access (industry presets, write tools, guided setup surface): included with a paid The Artificially Intelligent Enterprise subscription. Chatterbuilt is not sold as a standalone product at launch.

After connect — product surface you should know
Same facts as llms.txt. Use these tools after validate; never invent OAuth or rankings.
Local findability
- Call add_integration_recipe with name local-seo-aeo-checklist (NAP, LocalBusiness JSON-LD, service area, reviews, llms.txt).
- No Google Business Profile OAuth from MCP. No ranking promises — best practices only.
Suggestion queue (owner merges)
- list_suggestions / get_suggestion — plain-language open PRs; preview only; never merge.
- prepare_agent_suggestion — package a change for a PR; never creates or merges PRs.
- Never silent push to main. Preview → owner approves → merge production.
Self-driving modes
- improve_my_site — goal-driven loop; one proposal per round; owner approves every live ship.
- set_autopilot — Parked / Cruise / Autopilot / Ludicrous Mode dial over that loop.
- Every mode still needs owner approval before customers see a change.
Continuous external agents
Any MCP client can drive a Chatterbuilt site — Claude, ChatGPT, or a longer-running agent runtime. Same endpoint, same tools, same owner gate. There is no separate autonomous API.
- Connect to https://mcp.chatterbuilt.com/api/mcp (free tools without a key; full tools with a license).
- Call prepare_agent_suggestion before opening a PR — package only; it never creates or merges PRs.
- Never push production. Preview branch → owner approves → merge main.
- Hermes and OpenClaw are reference clients only, not Chatterbuilt product names.

Two audiences
You read this site. So do AI agents.
Your website has two readers now: you, and the AI assistants that recommend, build, and run it. We write for both — plain English for the owner, a map an agent can follow.
For you (the owner)
Short. Specific. Between service calls. If a line wouldn't land on your phone in the truck, we cut it.
For agents (the other reader)
Every Chatterbuilt site ships a plain guide and a live content index agents can read. When someone tells their AI "build me a website," the agent already knows the pattern.
