Install details

  1. Get an API token. Sign in at htmldrop.app/dashboard/settings → API tokens → Create token. Copy the hsk_live_… value (shown only once).
  2. Add to Cline's MCP settings. Open Cline's settings panel (VS Code: ⌘⇧P → "Cline: MCP Settings"). Click "Add MCP Server" and paste the config above.
  3. Reload VS Code. Cline picks up MCP config on reload (⌘⇧P → "Developer: Reload Window").

Try it

Open Cline's chat and try any of these:

BuildBuild me a single-page Q1 sales dashboard with three KPI cards and a bar chart, then publish it to htmldrop.
DocRead the README in this folder, render it as a polished documentation page, and publish to htmldrop.
DraftDesign a landing page for my side project — call it "Hexamail" — and publish a draft to htmldrop.

Troubleshooting

"No API token" error

Cline didn't read your token. Open Cline's MCP Settings panel and verify the HTMLDROP_API_TOKEN env value on the htmldrop server is the hsk_live_… string (not the friendly name you gave the token in the dashboard).

Cline doesn't see the htmldrop tools

Open the Cline panel → MCP Servers → confirm htmldrop shows green/connected. If it shows red, click the row to see the error log. Most failures are token typos.

"plan_limit" error in the chat

You've hit your plan's site cap (3 active drops on Free). Delete a drop in the dashboard or upgrade.

Want to verify the install worked?

In Cline chat: "List my htmldrop sites." If the tool is wired up, Cline calls htmldrop_list and replies with your drops.
