A guide for connecting a custom domain, such as brand.com or recipes.brand.com, to a website already hosted on simple-host.app.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for connecting subdomains or main domains, calculating the required DNS record, adding it through an available provider, or handing it to the domain owner.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

connect-domain scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 165 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Connect a custom domain

Open ChatGPT Plugins. Click Add, then choose Add custom MCP server. Name it Simple Host, paste https://simple-host.app/mcp, and save. In the sign-in window, sign in with Google or an email code, then choose Allow. In a chat, pick Simple Host from the + menu, or just ask.

Open Claude, then Settings, then Connectors, then Browse connectors. Search for Simple Host, choose Connect, sign in, then choose Allow. It works on web, desktop, and phone. Claude also lists a Simple Host plugin (Customize → Plugins → Discover) that adds the connector and skills in one step.

A Simple Host site is already live at its own address, https://<site>.<handle>.simple-host.app/, where visitor sign-in and private collections already work. This is optional and gives it a nicer or shorter address, served over HTTPS: a free <name>.simple-host.app, or the person's own domain. You do the Simple Host side with the tools; the person adds two DNS records where their domain is managed. The person's own explicit instructions take priority over this guidance.

You are already signed in as the person. Never ask for a Simple Host email, code or password. If a tool says the connection is no longer signed in, ask them to reconnect Simple Host in the app's settings.

Ask first. Connecting an address moves the site there. Before any connect_domain call, name the site and the exact address and wait for a yes. The same goes for remove_domain and for any DNS change you make yourself.

The free address: <name>.simple-host.app

One call, no DNS step. Offer it first when the person wants a shorter address and has no domain of their own.

  • connect_domain with site and domain: "clay-studio.simple-host.app". It answers status: "active" at once. Give the person https://clay-studio.simple-host.app/.
  • First come, first served. domain_taken: another site has it; suggest another name. name_reserved: reserved names (www, api, admin, mail and others) are refused. invalid_name: one label, lowercase letters, digits and hyphens.
  • It behaves exactly like a custom domain: everything below applies, and the site's <site>.<handle>.simple-host.app address redirects there.
  • A site has one bound address. Claiming the free address replaces a custom domain at once; a custom domain replaces the free address only once it is live, and until then the site keeps serving at the free address. A free address the site lets go keeps redirecting to it.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
