Ask for it. Your assistant does the work.
It picks the right tools and tells you what it did. A few things you can ask:
“Add shop.example.com and tell me which DNS records to set.”
Adds the domain and replies with the exact records. Once they are in place, it verifies them and SSL is issued automatically.
“Why did the last deploy fail?”
Reads the deployment and its build logs, explains the error, and can fix the code, a setting or an environment variable and deploy again.
“Create a Postgres database for my app.”
Creates a managed PostgreSQL database on your team’s private network and adds the connection string to the project as an environment variable.
“Roll production back to the previous deploy.”
Lists recent deployments and rolls production back to the one you choose.
“Update the plugins on my WordPress site and run a health check.”
Runs the updates through WP-CLI and reports what changed and how the site is doing.

Sign in, no keys to paste
Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code connect with OAuth 2.1. You sign in to Hostingsurge and approve the access yourself.
Scoped to one team
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.
Revoke any time
Disconnect an app under Settings → AI & MCP, or revoke a token under Settings → Tokens. Access ends immediately.
MCP questions
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants use tools. The Hostingsurge MCP server gives your assistant 72 of them, covering projects, deployments, domains, databases, WordPress, email and migrations.
Which AI clients can connect?
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.
Do I have to paste an API key?
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.
What can my assistant reach?
Only the team you approved. Sign-in grants and tokens are scoped to one team, and you can disconnect them at any time.
How is MCP different from the API and CLI?
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.
Is there documentation written for agents?
Yes. /llms.txt describes the platform, every MCP tool and the CLI in one plain-text file.
