How AI Assistants Build Client Websites With WebZum's MCP Server

TL;DR: Connect any AI assistant to WebZum’s MCP server at https://webzum.com/api/mcp and it can build a complete website for a small business in about 5 minutes. The assistant asks about the business, the owner gives their email and reads back a 6-digit code, and the site goes live — researched, multi-page, local-SEO ready, and hosted. No API key, no code. It’s the same AI website builder as webzum.com, inside the chat.

Why a Site Written in Chat Falls Short

Ask ChatGPT or Claude for a website and you get code. Then the real work starts:

• It isn’t online. Someone still has to find hosting, buy a domain and set up DNS.
• It’s full of placeholders. “Lorem ipsum”, placeholder.jpg, links to example.com.
• The contact form goes nowhere. A page with no server behind it can’t send leads anywhere.
• Edits break things. Each change rewrites the page, and long chats forget earlier choices.
• Nobody finds it. No local SEO, and copy that could be about any business.

WebZum’s MCP server hands all of that to a website builder made for small businesses. The assistant does the talking; WebZum does the building.

How It Works

The assistant follows the same steps as webzum.com/create-website:

1. It asks about the business — name, what they do, where they are, and how customers reach them (phone, WhatsApp or email). If something’s missing, WebZum tells the assistant what to ask.
2. It asks for the owner’s email. That’s the owner’s sign-up. WebZum emails them a 6-digit code.
3. The owner reads the code back. Sharing it confirms the email is theirs and accepts WebZum’s Terms. The build starts.
4. About 5 minutes later, the site is live. The assistant shares the link, and WebZum emails it to the owner too.

Here’s the first call, exactly as an assistant sends it:

curl -X POST https://webzum.com/api/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "build_website",
      "arguments": {
        "description": "Austin Pro Plumbing in Round Rock, TX. Emergency repairs and water heaters. Call 512-555-0123."
      }
    }
  }'

The answer is needs_email: everything needed to build is there, so ask the owner for their email. The assistant calls again with the email, then again with the code. You never write this by hand — the assistant does it on its own once it’s connected.

What the Owner Gets

Why the Email and Code?

The site belongs to the business owner, not to the assistant. The email becomes their WebZum account, so they can sign in later, edit the site, publish it on their own domain and get the leads. The code proves the email is really theirs — nobody can build a site into someone else’s inbox.

For Agencies

If you build sites for clients, connect your own assistant and run the chat with the client on a call. They read the code from their inbox, and the site lands in their account — which is where most clients want it anyway.

Where it’s not the right fit, honestly:

• Bulk scripting. This builds one site per conversation, with the owner confirming their email each time. If you need fifty sites from a spreadsheet overnight, this isn’t that tool.
• No owner in the loop. Every build needs the owner’s email and code. You can’t build “on spec” for a business that hasn’t agreed to it.

Getting Started

• ChatGPT, Claude and other MCP clients: add https://webzum.com/api/mcp as a connector.
• Then ask your assistant: “Build a website for my bakery.”

Each site starts with a free 30-day preview, then $19/month.
