sitemd.cc

Install sitemd

Add sitemd to your project, prompt your AI coding agent, start building your site.

Install Method

Pick whichever method suits your workflow. All three produce the same project structure with a sitemd/ directory containing the binary, theme, templates, and a working demo site on localhost.

Scaffold a new project with a single command:

npx @sitemd-cc/sitemd init my-site
cd my-site
sitemd launch

The npm method downloads the sitemd binary for your platform automatically via the package's postinstall hook — no separate install step. By the time sitemd launch runs, everything is in place.

Adding to an existing project? npm install @sitemd-cc/sitemd produces the same end state — scaffolds ./sitemd/, sets up the MCP server, installs agent skills. If you already have a CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .mcp.json, or skills directory, sitemd installs alongside them non-destructively — your content is never overwritten. Ask your agent to "merge the sitemd install conflicts" if anything was deferred.

After install, restart your agent session so it picks up the sitemd MCP server.

Clone from GitHub

Clone the repo and run the install script to download the binary for your platform:

git clone https://github.com/sitemd-cc/sitemd.git my-site
cd my-site
./sitemd/install
./sitemd/sitemd launch

The ./sitemd/install step downloads the platform binary — only required for the clone and download methods. The npm method handles this automatically.

Download

Grab the latest .tar.gz or .zip from GitHub Releases, extract it, and run the install script:

Download Latest Release
cd my-site
./sitemd/install
./sitemd/sitemd launch

Same as the clone method — the install script fetches the binary. If you prefer Node, run node sitemd/install.js instead (works on Windows too).

What happens next

All three methods produce the same project. Open it in your editor with any AI coding agent — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, OpenClaw, VS Code — and it takes over from there.

Your agent detects the fresh project, launches your site and the demo showcase, then asks what you're building. One sentence is enough. It generates your complete site — pages, navigation, settings — while you watch it update live in the browser.
