MCP Tool Reference

The Typeroll MCP server gives Claude a complete toolkit for managing sites. You never call these tools yourself — Claude decides which ones to use based on your instructions.

Tool categories

Category	Tools	What they do
Pages	`create_page`, `read_page`, `update_page`, `list_pages`, `batch_update_pages`, `batch_read_pages`, `search_pages`, `delete_page`	Create and edit pages
Partials	`read_partial`, `replace_partial`, `list_partials`	Header, footer and shared HTML fragments
Settings	`read_site_settings`, `update_site_settings`, `get_site`, `list_sites`	Site-wide config: colours, fonts, domain
Collections	`create_collection`, `read_collection`, `list_collections`, `create_collection_item`, `read_collection_item`, `update_collection_item`, `list_collection_items`, `delete_collection_item`	Structured content: blog posts, team members, products

How tools are selected

Claude picks tools based on context. You never need to say “call create_page” — just describe what you want:

“Add a Services page with three service cards” → Claude calls create_page

“Update the nav to include the new Services link” → Claude calls read_partial, then replace_partial

“Deploy it” → Claude calls trigger_deploy, then polls get_deploy_status

Authentication

All tool calls go through the MCP server, which forwards your TYPEROLL_API_KEY to the portal API. The key is scoped to your organisation — Claude can only access sites that belong to your account.

Rate limits

The portal API is rate-limited per API key. For large batch operations (importing many pages, bulk SEO updates), Claude uses batch_update_pages to stay within limits.
