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

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your Hetzner Cloud API Token
  3. 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

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

04

How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?

When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.

05

What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?

Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.

06

Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?

Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.

07

Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?

Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.

08

Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?

Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.

09

Server not appearing after restart

Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).

10

Authentication error

Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.

11

Tools not showing in chat

Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
