Announcing Hostodo MCP Server - Control your VPS instances via Claude/Hermes/Codex/Cursor
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:
- the token needs
vms:exec - 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
Log in to Hostodo Console:
https://console.hostodo.comGo to Settings → Developer Access:
https://console.hostodo.com/settings/developer-accessCreate a token with the scopes you want.
Add the MCP server to your client.
Claude Code example:
claude mcp add --transport http \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <your-token>" \
hostodo https://api.hostodo.com/mcp
Hermes example:
hermes mcp add hostodo --url https://api.hostodo.com/mcp --auth header

Pretty interesting. The power/reset functions could be pretty useful. I could see using the reinstall, but that is a bit scarier. I can't see going through my provider to actually execute commands, the agent is probably already running on the VPS or some other machine that has SSH access.
What would really be interesting is the ability to resize the VM on demand. The agent notices that the load is too heavy, it can automatically size up, then back down when the hard work is done. Bounded by some sort of budget set in the control panel of course.
someone ping me when some dude makes a thread on how the AI accidentally reinstalled beanmanOS onto their whole system when they meant to reboot it.
