The Challenge
Migrating an existing site to a new host is rarely a clean lift-and-shift, especially when assets are involved:
- Images and media scattered across inconsistent or legacy directory structures
- Risk of broken links or missing assets after the move
- Manual file conversion work eating into migration timelines
- Uncertainty about whether the new site matches the original in performance and appearance
The Autohive Solution
The Netlify MCP Deploy Toolkit brings structure and reliability to site migrations, so your assets land correctly on Netlify’s infrastructure without manual rework.
Correct Asset Processing
Binary files are written directly to the appropriate directories rather than passed through fragile encoding steps, preserving your original folder logic where possible.
Accurate Project Resolution
Project services readers identify and target the correct Netlify site, ensuring your migrated content deploys to the right destination every time.
Coding Context Awareness
The toolkit reads your workspace structure and configuration automatically, reducing the chance of mismatches between the old site’s layout and the new deployment.
Benefits
- Preserved visual integrity - Images and media arrive intact, matching your original site’s presentation
- Reduced manual effort - No need to hand-convert or reorganize files before deployment
- Faster migrations - Move off legacy hosting and onto Netlify with fewer delays
How It Works
- Map your existing assets - Identify the images and media scattered across your current site’s directories
- Write and resolve - The toolkit writes files to the correct locations and resolves your target Netlify site
- Deploy natively - Official Netlify API operations complete the migration cleanly
