Netlify MCP Continuous Deployment

This guide introduces how to use Netlify MCP to implement automated continuous deployment workflows, enabling ByteBuddy to intelligently manage deployment pipelines.

Overview

Netlify MCP provides deep integration with the Netlify platform, allowing ByteBuddy to:

• Automatically deploy applications
• Manage deployment environments
• Monitor deployment status
• Rollback failed deployments

Configuration

1. Install Netlify MCP

npm install -g netlify-mcp-server

2. Configure ByteBuddy

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "netlify": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["netlify-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN": "your-netlify-token",
        "NETLIFY_SITE_ID": "your-site-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Obtain Netlify Token

Use Cases

Scenario 1: Intelligent Deployment Decisions

// Intelligent deployment decision system
class SmartDeployment {
  async shouldDeploy(deployConfig: any): Promise<boolean> {
    // Check code quality
    const qualityCheck = await this.checkCodeQuality(deployConfig.commit);
    if (!qualityCheck.passed) {
      console.log("Code quality check failed, canceling deployment");
      return false;
    }

    // Check test coverage
    const testCoverage = await this.checkTestCoverage(deployConfig.commit);
    if (testCoverage < 80) {
      console.log(
        `Test coverage ${testCoverage}% below threshold, canceling deployment`,
      );
      return false;
    }

    // Check dependency security
    const securityCheck = await this.checkDependenciesSecurity(
      deployConfig.commit,
    );
    if (!securityCheck.safe) {
      console.log("Security vulnerabilities found, canceling deployment");
      return false;
    }

    return true;
  }

  async deploy(deployConfig: any) {
    const shouldDeploy = await this.shouldDeploy(deployConfig);

    if (!shouldDeploy) {
      return { success: false, reason: "Pre-deployment checks failed" };
    }

    try {
      const deployment = await mcp.call("netlify.deploy", {
        site_id: deployConfig.siteId,
        dir: deployConfig.buildDir,
        functions_dir: deployConfig.functionsDir,
        draft: deployConfig.draft || false,
        message: deployConfig.message,
        branch: deployConfig.branch,
      });

      // Monitor deployment status
      await this.monitorDeployment(deployment.id);

      return { success: true, deployment };
    } catch (error) {
      return { success: false, error: error.message };
    }
  }
}

Scenario 2: Multi-Environment Management

// Multi-environment deployment management
class EnvironmentManager {
  async deployToEnvironments(commit: string, environments: string[]) {
    const deployments = [];

    for (const env of environments) {
      const config = await this.getEnvironmentConfig(env);
      const deployment = await this.deployToEnvironment(commit, config);
      deployments.push({ environment: env, deployment });
    }

    return deployments;
  }

  private async deployToEnvironment(commit: string, config: any) {
    // Prepare environment-specific configuration
    const envConfig = await this.prepareEnvironmentConfig(config);

    // Build application
    await this.buildForEnvironment(envConfig);

    // Deploy to target environment
    return await mcp.call("netlify.deploy", {
      site_id: config.siteId,
      dir: envConfig.buildDir,
      functions_dir: envConfig.functionsDir,
      env: envConfig.environmentVars,
      alias: config.alias,
      message: `Deploy ${commit} to ${config.name}`,
    });
  }

  async rollbackEnvironment(environment: string, targetDeployment?: string) {
    const config = await this.getEnvironmentConfig(environment);

    if (targetDeployment) {
      return await mcp.call("netlify.rollback", {
        site_id: config.siteId,
        deploy_id: targetDeployment,
      });
    } else {
      // Rollback to previous stable deployment
      const previousStable =
        await this.findPreviousStableDeployment(environment);
      return await mcp.call("netlify.rollback", {
        site_id: config.siteId,
        deploy_id: previousStable.id,
      });
    }
  }
}

Deployment Pipelines

1. Complete Deployment Pipeline

// Complete deployment pipeline
class DeploymentPipeline {
  async execute(deploymentRequest: any) {
    const pipeline = [
      "validation",
      "build",
      "test",
      "security",
      "deploy",
      "verification",
    ];

    const context = {
      ...deploymentRequest,

    // Performance tests
    await this.performanceTest(context.deployment.url);
  }
}

2. A/B Testing Deployment

// A/B testing deployment
class ABTestingDeployment {
  async deployABTest(testConfig: any) {
    // Deploy version A
    const deploymentA = await mcp.call("netlify.deploy", {
      site_id: testConfig.siteId,

      testConfig,
    };
  }

  async analyzeABTestResults(testId: string) {

      test_id: testId,
      metrics: [
        "page_views",
        "conversion_rate",
        "bounce_rate",
        "session_duration",
      ],
    });

    const analysis = await this.compareVersions(results);

    return {
      winner: analysis.winner,
      confidence: analysis.confidence,
      recommendations: analysis.recommendations,
      raw_data: results,
    };
  }
}

Monitoring and Alerts

1. Deployment Monitoring

// Deployment monitoring system
class DeploymentMonitor {
  async monitorDeployment(deploymentId: string) {
    const monitor = setInterval(async () => {
      const status = await mcp.call("netlify.getDeployStatus", {
        deploy_id: deploymentId,
      });

      console.log(`Deployment status: ${status.state} - ${status.message}`);

      if (status.state === "ready") {
        clearInterval(monitor);
        await this.notifyDeploymentSuccess(deploymentId);
      } else if (status.state === "error") {
        clearInterval(monitor);
        await this.notifyDeploymentFailure(deploymentId, status.message);
      }
    }, 5000);

    return monitor;
  }

  async checkDeploymentHealth(url: string) {
    const healthChecks = [
      this.checkHTTPStatus(url),
      this.checkResponseTime(url),
      this.checkSSLCertificate(url),
      this.checkContentAvailability(url),
    ];

    const results = await Promise.allSettled(healthChecks);

    return {
      healthy: results.every((r) => r.status === "fulfilled"),
      checks: results.map((r, i) => ({
        name: ["HTTP Status", "Response Time", "SSL Certificate", "Content"][i],
        status: r.status,
        value: r.status === "fulfilled" ? r.value : r.reason,
      })),
    };
  }
}

2. Alert System

// Intelligent alert system
class AlertSystem {
  async checkAndAlert(deploymentId: string) {
    const deployment = await mcp.call("netlify.getDeployment", {
      deploy_id: deploymentId,
    });

    const alerts = [];

    // Check deployment failure
    if (deployment.state === "error") {
      alerts.push({
        type: "deployment_failure",
        severity: "high",
        message: `Deployment failed: ${deployment.error_message}`,
        actions: ["investigate_logs", "rollback", "notify_team"],
      });
    }

    // Check performance degradation
    const performance = await this.checkPerformanceMetrics(deployment.url);
    if (performance.regression > 0.2) {
      alerts.push({
        type: "performance_regression",
        severity: "medium",
        message: `Performance degraded by ${performance.regression * 100}%`,
        actions: ["analyze_bundle", "check_cdn", "optimize_images"],
      });
    }

    // Check error rate increase
    const errors = await this.checkErrorRate(deployment.url);
    if (errors.rate > 0.05) {
      alerts.push({
        type: "error_rate_spike",
        severity: "high",
        message: `Error rate ${(errors.rate * 100).toFixed(2)}%`,
        actions: ["check_logs", "rollback", "hotfix"],
      });
    }

    for (const alert of alerts) {
      await this.sendAlert(alert);
    }

    return alerts;
  }
}

          fi

2. Quality Gates

// Deployment quality gates
class QualityGate {
  async checkQualityGate(commit: string, environment: string) {
    const checks = {
      code: await this.checkCodeQuality(commit),
      security: await this.checkSecurity(commit),
      performance: await this.checkPerformance(commit),
      documentation: await this.checkDocumentation(commit),
      tests: await this.checkTestResults(commit),
    };

    const allPassed = Object.values(checks).every((check) => check.passed);

    if (!allPassed) {
      const failedChecks = Object.entries(checks)
        .filter(([_, check]) => !check.passed)
        .map(([name, check]) => ({ name, reason: check.reason }));

      throw new Error(
        `Quality gate failed: ${failedChecks.map((c) => c.name).join(", ")}`,
      );
    }

    return { passed: true, checks };
  }
}

Best Practices

1. Deployment Strategy

// Blue-green deployment
class BlueGreenDeployment {
  async blueGreenDeploy(deployConfig: any) {
    const currentProduction = await this.getCurrentProduction(
      deployConfig.siteId,
    );

    // Deploy to green environment
    const greenDeployment = await mcp.call("netlify.deploy", {
      site_id: deployConfig.siteId,
      dir: deployConfig.buildDir,
      alias: "green",
      message: "Green deployment",
    });

    // Verify green environment
    const greenHealth = await this.verifyDeployment(greenDeployment.url);
    if (!greenHealth.healthy) {
      throw new Error("Green environment health check failed");
    }

    // Switch traffic
    await this.switchTraffic(deployConfig.siteId, "green");

    // Clean up blue environment
    await this.cleanupOldDeployments(currentProduction.id);

    return greenDeployment;
  }
}

With Netlify MCP, ByteBuddy can provide intelligent continuous deployment solutions, ensuring application security and reliability.
