Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Agent-native web hosting — deploy sites, manage DNS, register domains, scale infrastructure

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Computer or cloud
  • Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Developer tools
  • You need to fill in: BOREALHOST_API_KEY

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: BOREALHOST_API_KEY

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet
  • PyPIPython’s uv installed (for the uvx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • BOREALHOST_API_KEY secret env
    BorealHost API key (format: bh_<48 hex chars>). Optional — you can also call register() or set_api_key() at runtime.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Common questions

Is BorealHost safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: BOREALHOST_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.4.2) reached the registry 2 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP

BorealHost MCP Server

Agent-native web hosting tools for the Model Context Protocol.

Connect any MCP-compatible AI agent to BorealHost.ai — purchase hosting, deploy sites, manage DNS, register domains, and scale infrastructure, entirely through tool calls.

Quick Start

Remote Server (Recommended)

No installation needed. Connect directly to the hosted server:

{

"mcpServers": { "borealhost": { "type": "streamable-http", "url": "https://borealhost.ai/mcp/" } } }

Local Installation (pip)
pip install borealhost-mcp

Then run:

borealhost-mcp

Or add to your MCP client config:

{

"mcpServers": { "borealhost": { "command": "borealhost-mcp" } } }

Environment Variables
VariableDescription
BOREALHOST_BASE_URLAPI base URL (default: https://borealhost.ai)

Resources

The server exposes 5 MCP resources for structured reference data:

URIDescription
borealhost://api/errorsError codes with HTTP status and recovery guidance
borealhost://api/scopesAPI key scope hierarchy and tool requirements
borealhost://api/enumsValid enum values (checkout status, DNS types, log types, etc.)
borealhost://api/response-formatAPI response envelope documentation
borealhost://plansLive plan catalog with current pricing

Prompts

5 guided workflow prompts for common operations:

  • `purchase_hosting` — Step-by-step plan purchase flow
  • `setup_site` — Post-purchase site configuration
  • `manage_dns` — Common DNS operations
  • `register_domain` — Domain registration with WHOIS checklist
  • `claim_site_key` — Challenge-response key claiming

Example Workflow

Agent: register()

→ {"api_key": "bh_...", "scopes": ["read", "write"]}

Agent: list_plans() → [{"slug": "starter", "price_monthly": 9.99, ...}, ...]

Agent: create_checkout("bh_site_starter_monthly") → {"checkout_id": "chk_...", "checkout_secret": "..."}

Agent: update_checkout("chk_...", requested_slug="my-new-site") → {"status": "ready"}

Agent: complete_checkout("chk_...") → {"payment_url": "https://borealhost.ai/pay/chk_.../?s=...", "confirmation_url": "https://borealhost.ai/pay/chk_.../confirmation/?s=..."}

show payment_url to the human; paying provisions the site

Agent: get_checkout_status("chk_...") # poll until completed → {"status": "completed", "api_key": "bh_...", # shown ONCE "site": {"slug": "my-new-site", "status": "active"}}

Agent: get_site_status("my-new-site") → {"status": "active", "url": "https://my-new-site.borealhost.ai"}

Authentication

  • API key format: bh_ + 48 hex characters
  • Scopes: read (view) → write (modify) → admin (delete/scale)
  • No auth needed for: list_plans, create_checkout, update_checkout, complete_checkout, get_checkout_status
  • Keys are shown once on creation — store immediately

Requirements

  • Python 3.10+
  • Dependencies: mcp[cli]>=1.2.0, httpx>=0.27.0
