Perplexity

Deploy infrastructure from your editor

Map your environment requirements to real resources using `create_server` and `create_volume`. You write the code, and the agent executes the infrastructure deployment. Stop mocking your cloud environment. By using live calls to the API, you ensure that your infrastructure definitions match the reality of your deployed stack.

Manage firewalls via code

Define your security posture by calling `create_firewall` directly from your project files. This ensures your network security is as version-controlled as your application logic. Check your active policies anytime with `list_firewalls`. You get instant feedback on whether your security rules are applied correctly before you push your next commit.

Monitor resources inside Cursor

Keep an eye on your operational overhead without switching tabs. Use `list_servers` and `get_server` to verify that your code is running on the expected hardware. If you need to scale, use the available tools to provision new load balancers or floating IPs. Everything is managed through the same agent interface you use for writing your application features.

Setup guide

Set up Hetzner MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Hetzner MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Hetzner transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Hetzner tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hetzner-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
  }

Common questions about Hetzner MCP in Cursor

Create a .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root. Define the server path and arguments there to enable the tools for your current workspace.

No, your API keys are stored locally. The MCP server communicates directly with the cloud provider endpoint, keeping your secrets within your local development environment.

Yes, you can instruct the agent to run a sequence of tools like `create_network` followed by `create_server`. It handles the orchestration based on your natural language instructions.

You can use `get_action` to inspect the status of pending or failed tasks. This allows you to troubleshoot deployment issues without digging through the cloud provider web portal.

All infrastructure data remains between you and the provider. The agent only accesses the specific resource details you permit it to view during the coding session.
