Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Hetzner MCP Server?
Connect your Hetzner Cloud account to any AI agent to orchestrate your infrastructure through natural language.
What you can do
- Server Management — List all active servers, fetch specific details, and create or delete instances on demand.
- Power Control — Remotely power on servers or rebuild them from specific images using simple commands.
- Networking & Security — Manage private networks, configure firewalls, and handle floating IPs to ensure connectivity.
- Load Balancing — List and create load balancers to distribute traffic across your infrastructure efficiently.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Hetzner Cloud API Token
- Start managing your cloud resources from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual navigation through the cloud console for routine checks. Your AI acts as a cloud engineer, providing instant visibility into your VPS fleet.
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — quickly audit server states and firewall rules without leaving the terminal or IDE
- System Administrators — automate power cycles and resource monitoring through conversation
- Developers — spin up or rebuild development environments directly from a coding assistant

Why Claude Code?
Claude Code registers Hetzner as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 38 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Hetzner data drives decisions without human intervention.
- —
Single-command setup:
claude mcp addregisters the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart - —
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
- —
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Hetzner tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
- —
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features

Frequently asked questions
Can I see the status of all my cloud servers at once?
Yes, the list_servers tool retrieves a complete list of your instances, including their IDs, status, and labels.
Is it possible to turn on a server that is currently powered off?
Absolutely. Use the poweron_server tool with the specific Server ID to initiate the power-on sequence.
Can I manage security rules through this integration?
Yes, you can use list_firewalls to audit existing rules and create_firewall to set up new protection layers for your infrastructure.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
