Abell

Abell is a JavaScript static site generator that has added AI capabilities through MCP integration. The MCP server component exposes tools that let your AI agent interact with Abell projects — generating pages, modifying templates, managing content, and building sites. It bridges the gap between conversational AI and static site development. The interesting angle is that Abell was originally a standalone SSG (with 434 GitHub stars as a framework), and the MCP layer is a newer addition. This means the underlying build system is proven and stable, while the AI integration gives it a modern twist. Your agent can scaffold new pages, edit component code, and trigger builds — essentially acting as a co-developer for your static site. The main limitation is that Abell has a smaller ecosystem compared to heavyweights like Astro, Next.js, or Hugo. If you are already invested in another SSG, there is not enough reason to switch just for the MCP integration. But if you are starting a new project and want a framework where AI assistance is a first-class citizen, Abell is worth a look.
