Newfold

Newfold Digital is a web presence and technology solutions company serving small and medium businesses worldwide with domain registration, web hosting, website building, e-commerce, security, and digital marketing. It was formed in 2021 from the merger of Web.com Group and Endurance International Group and operates a portfolio of consumer and reseller brands including Bluehost, HostGator, Network Solutions, Register.com, Web.com, and Domain.com.

  name: Newfold BLU MCP Server (WordPress)
  description: The Newfold Labs WordPress MCP module (wp-module-mcp) registers an MCP server, id blu-mcp, on the WordPress
    REST route /wp-json/blu/mcp of every site running a Newfold brand plugin. It exposes WordPress Abilities API abilities
    as MCP tools through a three-tool gateway (list abilities, get ability schema, call ability) plus a generic REST CRUD
    surface, covering posts, pages, media, custom post types, users, settings, site info, themes, global styles and WooCommerce
    products, orders and reports. Because the server ships inside the customer's own WordPress install, the endpoint host
    is the customer domain rather than a Newfold-hosted URL.
  humanURL: https://github.com/newfold-labs/wp-module-mcp
  baseURL: https://{site}/wp-json/blu/mcp
  x-base-url-note: Templated. The MCP server is self-hosted on each customer WordPress site by the Newfold brand plugin; Newfold
    publishes no central endpoint. The provider's own README uses https://YOUR-SITE.com/wp-json/blu/mcp.

  description: Hiive is Newfold's site-connection platform API. The GPL-licensed Newfold data module (wp-module-data), installed
    on every site running a Newfold brand plugin, defines the base https://hiive.cloud/api and calls paths such as sites/v1/events,
    sites/v2/events, and the capabilities and verify routes to register a site, exchange a token and stream events back to
    Newfold. The base URL and the request shapes are readable in the module's public source; Newfold publishes no external
    developer documentation, no OpenAPI, and no self-service credentials for it.

  name: HUAPI (Hosting Unified API)
  description: HUAPI is Newfold's internal hosting control-plane API, versioned under /v1, covering account, hosting, sites,
    domains, addons (backup, CodeGuard, SiteLock, Xcitium, Cloudflare, SpamExperts, Jetpack), announcements, logs and public
    keys. Newfold publishes a generated JavaScript client for it on npm as @newfold/huapi-js — 389 published versions, built
    with Orval from an openapi.json — but the package README states the spec is pulled from a beta server that requires the
    corporate VPN, so the OpenAPI itself is not public and no public base URL is published.
  humanURL: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@newfold/huapi-js
  x-base-url-note: No public base URL. The published client sets no baseURL of its own (paths are relative, e.g. /v1/account/hosting)
    and Newfold's own README says the OpenAPI is fetched from an internal beta server over VPN. Recorded as missing rather
    than guessed.
