Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about building with AI agents, connecting via Model Context Protocol (MCP), managed edge hosting, custom domains, and pricing.

⚡ Platform & General

What is EdgeOrigin? +

EdgeOrigin is an AI-powered website and digital experience platform that combines visual content management, serverless cloud edge hosting, automated statutory SEO, and native Model Context Protocol (MCP) APIs. It allows teams to create, host, and manage websites and applications collaboratively with AI coding agents.

How does EdgeOrigin differ from WordPress, Webflow, or Squarespace? +

Traditional website platforms like WordPress require managing servers, databases, and dozens of brittle plugins that conflict and break. Site builders like Webflow or Squarespace trap you in proprietary drag-and-drop systems without native AI agent integration.

EdgeOrigin solves this by offering managed serverless edge hosting (zero maintenance), a clean visual block-tree CMS, and native Model Context Protocol (MCP) developer APIs that allow AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini) to construct and maintain pages safely.

Do I need coding experience to use EdgeOrigin? +

No. Non-technical users can draft pages, publish articles, update headlines, upload media, and manage navigation links directly inside the intuitive visual CMS dashboard without writing a single line of code. Coding tools and MCP integrations are entirely optional superpowers for developers and AI agents.

🤖 AI Agents & Model Context Protocol (MCP)

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and how does EdgeOrigin use it? +

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open industry standard that enables AI assistants to securely discover and invoke tools in external applications. EdgeOrigin provides a native MCP endpoint at https://edgeorigin.app/mcp with over 104 structured JSON-RPC tools for managing pages, theme templates, media, plugins, and publishing.

Which AI assistants and tools can connect to EdgeOrigin? +

Any AI coding environment supporting MCP or REST APIs can connect, including Claude Desktop, Cursor IDE, Windsurf, Google Antigravity / Gemini, and custom Node.js/Python scripts using a site-scoped API bearer token.

Can an AI coding agent break my website or delete production content? +

No. Access tokens are strictly isolated to your authorized tenant site. Furthermore, EdgeOrigin outputs structured block-tree schemas rather than raw unverified code, and automatically preserves full revision histories and backups so you can roll back changes with one click.

🌐 Hosting, Domains & Performance

Where are EdgeOrigin websites hosted? +

Every website is deployed globally on high-performance cloud serverless edge infrastructure with over 300 points of presence (POPs). Database queries execute in sub-10ms, and server-side rendered (SSR) HTML is delivered with average response times under 50ms.

Can I use my own custom domain? +

Yes. On the Pro Founder plan ($5/mo) and above, you can map your own apex domain (e.g. yourcompany.com) or subdomains (e.g. blog.yourcompany.com). Automated TLS/SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt and Google Trust are provisioned and renewed automatically.

How does EdgeOrigin handle unexpected traffic spikes? +

Because EdgeOrigin runs on a serverless edge architecture, there are no virtual machines to run out of memory or CPU. Incoming traffic scales automatically across global edge nodes, ensuring zero downtime even during viral traffic surges.

📝 Content Management, SEO & Plugins

How does statutory SEO and Schema.org markup work? +

EdgeOrigin automatically builds and maintains Google-compliant structured data for all published content, including Organization, WebSite, Article, and JobPosting schemas. Canonical URLs, OpenGraph share cards, and XML/News sitemaps are automatically compiled and updated on publication.

Can I migrate an existing WordPress blog or business website? +

Yes. EdgeOrigin allows clean migration of posts, categories, tags, images, and URL paths so you retain all your existing search ranking equity without carrying over old WordPress database bloat or plugin vulnerabilities.

What plugins and extensions are available? +

Native plugins include Lead Form Management with private inboxes, Google Tag Manager & Analytics injection, 404 URL Redirect Manager, and XML/News Sitemaps. Pro developers can also build and deploy private sandboxed plugins with custom lifecycle hooks.

💳 Plans, Billing & Support

Is there a free plan available? +

Yes! The Starter Plan is 100% free forever. It includes visual CMS editing, hosting on a secure *.edgeorigin.app address, automated statutory SEO, XML sitemaps, and up to 5,000 monthly page views with no credit card required.

What is included in the Pro Founder plan? +

The Pro Founder plan is $5/month (or $4/month billed annually). It unlocks custom domain mapping with automated SSL, site-scoped API tokens for AI coding agents via MCP, lead form management, and 100,000 monthly page views.
