# hosting_deployStaticWebsite

Deploy a static website from an archive file to a hosting server. IMPORTANT: This tool only works for static websites with no build process. The archive must contain pre-built static files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, etc.) ready to be served. If the website has a package.json file or requires a build command, use hosting_deployJsApplication instead. The archive will be extracted and deployed directly without any build steps. The username will be automatically resolved from the domain.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json

## Why hosting_deployStaticWebsite is rated High

This tool executes deployment operations that trigger external side effects on a hosting server. While not destructive (deployment is reversible via redeployment), it goes beyond simple read or write operations—it orchestrates a sequence of system-level actions (archive extraction, file movement, web server updates) whose effects depend on the provided archive content and domain parameters.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs 'Deploy a static website from an archive file to a hosting server' with automatic extraction and deployment actions that trigger external operations (archive extraction, file placement on server, service deployment)."

## Use case

AI agents invoke hosting_deployStaticWebsite to trigger actions in Hostinger Api. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.
