+Same config format — `npx @shipstatic/mcp` via stdio.
+
+That's it. Deployments work immediately — sites are live with a claim URL (3-day TTL).
+
+For permanent deployments, add a free API key from [my.shipstatic.com/api-key](https://my.shipstatic.com/api-key):

+```bash
+claude mcp add shipstatic -e SHIP_API_KEY=ship-... -- npx @shipstatic/mcp
