The real utility of agentic workflows comes from shareable links that render correctly in Slack and update over time. A new breakdown from the developers behind MintPage compares two paths: building your own static hosting pipeline or using a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to handle publishing. The verdict? It depends on whether you are building a product or a document.

The DIY Trap: Snapshots and Security

Option A involves the agent writing HTML and deploying it via a script to hosts like Netlify or GitHub Pages. While this offers full control and custom domains, it introduces significant operational friction. Netlify deploys are atomic snapshots, meaning if your agent runs in a fresh container, previous reports vanish unless you persist the folder state.
