Short answer

How can I use my AI to set up Hetzner infrastructure?

You tell your AI what kind of environment you need, and it calls the specific Hetzner tools to build it. It handles everything from setting up private networks to deploying load balancers and firewalls.

Where every action lands.

Infrastructure outcomes

Your AI maps your requests to these specific cloud resources.

COMPUTE

Live instances

The AI spins up the specific hardware you requested. You get a running instance ready for your workloads.

NETWORKING

Isolated networks

Your agent builds the private networks and firewalls required for security. This keeps your traffic contained and protected.

STORAGE

Attached volumes

The AI provisions block storage and attaches it to your instances. Your data stays persistent and available.

TRAFFIC

Human review needed

The AI drafts the load balancer configurations. You must review the routing logic before the AI finalizes the deployment.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent translates your intent into a sequence of API calls to Hetzner.

  1. Build the network

    The AI sets up the private backbone and security rules for your environment.

    create_networkcreate_firewall

  2. Provision storage

    It creates the necessary block storage volumes to hold your data.

    create_volume

  3. Deploy instances

    The agent launches the actual servers within the newly created network.

    create_server

  4. Configure traffic

    It sets up the load balancer to distribute incoming requests across your servers.

    create_load_balancer

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can my AI delete existing Hetzner servers?

    No. The current tools only allow for creating new resources.

  • 02

    Does the AI choose the cheapest server automatically?

    No. The AI will use the specifications you provide in your prompt.

  • 03

    Can I use this to manage my existing Hetzner cloud setup?

    No. This specific set of tools is limited to creating new infrastructure.

  • 04

    Will the AI charge my credit card?

    The AI triggers the creation of resources on your Hetzner account, so you are responsible for any costs incurred on the Hetzner side.

  • 05

    Do I need to use the Hetzner web console?
