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

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 does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
