Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Servers, volumes, networks, firewalls, load balancers, pricing and safe power operations.

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.

Install

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 32 things (tools) hetzner_list_servers, hetzner_get_server, hetzner_get_server_metrics, hetzner_list_server_types …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

Which app do you use?

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

Works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile:

  1. Open Settings → Connectors
  2. Press Add custom connector
  3. Paste the address below and press Add
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker
SettingsConnectors1+ Add2https://…3
https://hetzner-cloud.usefulapi.io/mcp

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http hetzner-cloud https://hetzner-cloud.usefulapi.io/mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hetzner-cloud": {
      "url": "https://hetzner-cloud.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "hetzner-cloud": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://hetzner-cloud.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker
SettingsConnectors1+ Create2https://…3
https://hetzner-cloud.usefulapi.io/mcp

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

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

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

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • hetzner_list_servers

    List the servers in the token's project, optionally filtered by name, status or a label selector. Hetzner Cloud: GET /servers.

  • hetzner_get_server

    Fetch a single server with its type, image, IPs, volumes, networks and protection flags. Hetzner Cloud: GET /servers/{id}.

  • hetzner_get_server_metrics

    Fetch CPU, disk or network time series for one server over a window. Hetzner Cloud: GET /servers/{id}/metrics.

  • hetzner_list_server_types

    List the available server types with their cores, memory, disk and hourly and monthly prices — read this before creating a server. Hetzner Cloud: GET /server_types.

  • hetzner_list_images

    List OS images, snapshots and backups you can boot or restore from. Hetzner Cloud: GET /images.

  • hetzner_list_locations

    List the datacentre locations (city, country, network zone) servers can run in. Hetzner Cloud: GET /locations.

  • hetzner_get_pricing

    Fetch the full price list for the project's currency — server types, volumes, traffic, floating IPs, load balancers and backups. Hetzner Cloud: GET /pricing.

  • hetzner_get_action

    Fetch the status of one asynchronous action. Every write tool here returns an action id — poll it with this to see whether the operation finished. Hetzner Cloud: GET /actions/{id}.

  • hetzner_list_volumes

    List block-storage volumes, their size and which server they are attached to. Hetzner Cloud: GET /volumes.

  • hetzner_get_volumes

    Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /volumes/{id}.

  • hetzner_list_networks

    List private networks, their IP ranges, subnets and routes. Hetzner Cloud: GET /networks.

  • hetzner_get_networks

    Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /networks/{id}.

  • hetzner_list_firewalls

    List firewalls, their rules and which resources they are applied to. Hetzner Cloud: GET /firewalls.

  • hetzner_get_firewalls

    Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /firewalls/{id}.

  • hetzner_list_load_balancers

    List load balancers, their services, targets and health status. Hetzner Cloud: GET /load_balancers.

  • hetzner_get_load_balancers

    Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /load_balancers/{id}.

  • hetzner_list_ssh_keys

    List the SSH public keys available to inject when creating a server. Hetzner Cloud: GET /ssh_keys.

  • hetzner_get_ssh_keys

    Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /ssh_keys/{id}.

  • hetzner_list_floating_ips

    List floating IPs and which server each is assigned to. Hetzner Cloud: GET /floating_ips.

  • hetzner_get_floating_ips

    Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /floating_ips/{id}.

  • hetzner_list_primary_ips

    List primary IPs and their assignments. Hetzner Cloud: GET /primary_ips.

  • hetzner_get_primary_ips

    Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /primary_ips/{id}.

  • hetzner_list_certificates

    List TLS certificates, managed or uploaded, and their expiry. Hetzner Cloud: GET /certificates.

  • hetzner_get_certificates

    Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /certificates/{id}.

  • hetzner_create_server

    Provision a new server. THIS STARTS BILLING: the chosen server type is charged by the hour from the moment it boots. Call hetzner_list_server_types first to see prices, and hetzner_list_images for a bootable image. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers.

  • hetzner_poweron_server

    Power on a stopped server. Returns an action id — poll it with hetzner_get_action. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/poweron.

  • hetzner_shutdown_server

    Ask the guest OS to shut down gracefully via ACPI. Prefer this over a hard power-off. Note that a stopped server still costs money — only deleting it stops the bill. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/shutdown.

  • hetzner_reboot_server

    Reboot a server gracefully via ACPI. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/reboot.

  • hetzner_create_image_from_server

    Create a snapshot image from a server's disk — the safe thing to do BEFORE a risky change. Snapshots are billed for the space they use. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/create_image.

  • hetzner_enable_server_backup

    Turn on automatic backups for a server. This adds roughly 20% to the server's price. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/enable_backup.

  • hetzner_disable_server_backup

    Turn off automatic backups for a server. Existing backups are DELETED. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/disable_backup.

  • hetzner_change_server_protection

    Turn deletion and rebuild protection on or off for a server. Turning protection ON is the safest write in this server. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/change_protection.

Common questions

Is Hetzner Cloud MCP by usefulapi safe?

It passed 3 of 3 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.35.3) reached the registry yesterday.

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: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, LickityClick

Hetzner Cloud MCP by usefulapi

Servers, volumes, networks, firewalls, load balancers, pricing and safe power operations. Hosted, no local install.

Live endpoint: https://hetzner-cloud.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://hetzner-cloud.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http hetzner-cloud https://hetzner-cloud.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{

"mcpServers": { "hetzner-cloud": { "url": "https://hetzner-cloud.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Hetzner Cloud credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/hetzner-cloud/

On first connect you'll paste your Hetzner Cloud credentials. They are validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.
