Announcing Hostodo MCP Server - Control your VPS instances via Claude/Hermes/Codex/Cursor

[butred999]

Hi LET. We added MCP support for Hostodo.

If you use Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Hermes, or another MCP-compatible client, you can now connect it directly to your Hostodo account and manage your VPSes from your AI assistant.

Docs:
https://hostodo.com/docs/mcp

Setup in Console:
https://console.hostodo.com/settings/developer-access

MCP endpoint:

https://api.hostodo.com/mcp

What it does​

The Hostodo MCP server lets your AI client:

• list your VPS instances
• inspect VM details
• start / stop / reboot / reset
• reinstall VMs with a selected OS template
• rename VMs
• run bounded root commands on opted-in VMs
• run longer background commands and poll output
• transfer/install files

WIP: Deploy, helpdesk, etc. Just guaging interest first.

Example prompts:

List my Hostodo VMs and show me which ones are online.

Check disk usage on my production VM.

Reboot my staging VPS.

Deploy the docker-compose stack in this directory on my VM.

Security model​

This is not “paste your SSH key into an AI client.”

Every MCP call is:

• authenticated with a Hostodo developer token
• scoped by permissions like vms:read, vms:power, vms:exec
• checked against VM ownership
• audited
• rate limited

For command execution, there are two gates:

1. the token needs vms:exec
2. the VM must have MCP exec explicitly enabled

So you can give an AI client read-only access, power-control access, or exec access depending on what you actually want it to do.

Quick setup​

1. 
   Log in to Hostodo Console:
   https://console.hostodo.com
   
   
2. 
   Go to Settings → Developer Access:
   https://console.hostodo.com/settings/developer-access
   
   
3. 
   Create a token with the scopes you want.
   
   
4. 
   Add the MCP server to your client.
