Hostinger API MCP server

Running your own Hostinger API MCP server

Updated over 3 weeks ago

The Hostinger MCP server enables seamless integration of Hostinger’s API with AI tools that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — such as Claude, Cursor, or other AI coding assistants. This server exposes Hostinger API endpoints as callable tools, allowing AI models to fetch live data or perform real-time actions on hosting infrastructure.

In other words, you can now "vibe sysadmin" your services on Hostinger.

Key capabilities

  • API Integration: Connects directly to Hostinger’s Developer API

  • AI Tool Compatibility: Built for environments supporting MCP, like Claude or Cursor

  • Automated Operations: Enables AI to manage services and more

Installation guide

1. Install Node.js

Before installing the MCP server, make sure Node.js 20+ is installed. You can do this via Node Version Manager (nvm):

# Install nvm (if not already installed)
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.7/install.sh | bash

# Reload shell
source ~/.bashrc

# Install Node.js 20
nvm install 20

# Set it as default
nvm use 20

2. Install the MCP server CLI

After Node.js is ready, install the MCP server globally:

# Install globally from npm 
npm install -g hostinger-api-mcp

# Or with yarn
yarn global add hostinger-api-mcp

# Or with pnpm
pnpm add -g hostinger-api-mcp

AI integration setup

Tools like Claude and Cursor don’t require manually running the MCP server. This article provides instructions on how to provide Claude with the following configuration:

{
"mcpServers": {
"hostinger-api": {
"command": "hostinger-api-mcp",
"env": {
"DEBUG": "false",
"APITOKEN": "YOUR API TOKEN"
}
}
}
}
  • APITOKEN: Your access token for authenticating with Hostinger’s API. Obtain it via hpanel.hostinger.com

  • DEBUG: Optional, set to "true" if you want verbose logs for debugging.

Additional resources

The Hostinger MCP Server is a simple yet powerful bridge that connects AI interfaces to real-world hosting actions. Exposing Hostinger API endpoints as tools empowers AI tools to go beyond chat — enabling direct, intelligent, and automated management of hosting environments.
