PricingSign inMCP server
Hostingsurge’s MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code work on your Hostingsurge projects after you sign in, with no keys to paste. Your assistant gets 148 tools to create projects, deploy, read logs, add domains, manage databases and move sites over from Vercel and other hosts.
MCP endpoint: https://hostingsurge.com/mcp
It picks the right tools and tells you what it did. A few things you can ask:
Imports its build settings, visible environment variables, domains and redirects, lists the cron jobs and secret variables you add yourself, runs it on a preview URL and tells you which DNS records to change when you are ready.
Adds the domain and replies with the exact records. Once they are in place, it verifies them and SSL is issued automatically.
Reads the deployment and its build logs, explains the error, and can fix the code, a setting or an environment variable and deploy again.
Creates a managed PostgreSQL database on your team’s private network and adds the connection string to the project as an environment variable.
Lists recent deployments and rolls production back to the one you choose.
Runs the updates through WP-CLI and reports what changed and how the site is doing.
Add the MCP endpoint, sign in to Hostingsurge and approve the access. There is no key to copy.
In claude.ai or Claude Desktop, open Customize → Connectors and add a custom connector with the MCP endpoint. Click Connect, sign in and allow access.
Turn on developer mode under Settings → Security and login, then create an app for the MCP endpoint with OAuth. Sign in and allow access.
Add the server with the config or command below. Each one opens the Hostingsurge sign-in when it connects.

Access is scoped to one team and easy to take back.
Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code connect with OAuth 2.1. You sign in to Hostingsurge and approve the access yourself.
Every sign-in grant and token belongs to a single team. Your assistant only reaches that team’s projects, and every team’s data stays isolated.
Disconnect an app under Settings → AI & MCP, or revoke a token under Settings → API & MCP keys. Access ends immediately.
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants use tools. The Hostingsurge MCP server gives your assistant 148 of them, covering projects, deployments, domains, databases, WordPress, email and migrations.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers over HTTP. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code connect by signing in. Claude Code and other clients can sign in or use a token.
No. With OAuth you sign in to Hostingsurge in the browser and approve the access. Tokens are only for clients without OAuth, scripts and CI.
Only the team you approved. Sign-in grants and tokens are scoped to one team, and you can disconnect them at any time.
They work on the same platform. Use MCP for AI assistants, the CLI for terminals and CI, and the REST API for your own code.
Yes. /llms.txt describes the platform, every MCP tool and the CLI in one plain-text file.
