Description from the maker (original English)
Read RunCloud servers, web apps, databases and logs; deploy, restart services, renew SSL.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.
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.
runcloud_pingCheck that the API key works: RunCloud answers with a message ('pong'). GET /ping.
runcloud_list_serversList the servers connected to the workspace: id, name, provider, IP address, OS, stack, online/connected state, agent and PHP CLI version, auto-update settings and tags. GET /servers.
runcloud_get_serverOne server by id: provider, IP, OS and version, stack, online state, agent version, update settings, tags. GET /servers/{id}.
runcloud_get_server_statsHow many web applications, databases, cron jobs and supervisor jobs a server has, and its country. GET /servers/{id}/stats.
runcloud_get_server_hardwareKernel version, CPU model and cores, memory and disk totals/free, load average and uptime of a server. GET /servers/{id}/hardwareinfo.
runcloud_get_server_healthThe latest health sample of a server: total/available/used memory and disk space (MB) and load average. GET /servers/{id}/health/latest.
runcloud_list_server_logsThe server's activity log (what was changed in RunCloud and when), newest first. GET /servers/{id}/logs.
runcloud_list_servicesThe services on a server (nginx, php-fpm, mariadb, redis, supervisor...) with real name, running state, CPU, memory and version. The realName is what runcloud_control_service needs. GET /servers/{id}/services.
runcloud_list_system_usersThe system (Linux) users on a server: id, username, whether deletable. Deployment keys and passwords are never returned. GET /servers/{id}/users.
runcloud_list_webappsList the web applications on a server: id, name, root/public path, PHP version, stack, type (wordpress, custom...), default flag, alias. Deployment webhook keys are not returned. GET /servers/{id}/webapps.
runcloud_get_webappOne web application by id (path, PHP version, stack, type, default flag). GET /servers/{id}/webapps/{webapp}.
runcloud_get_webapp_settingsPHP and FPM/Nginx settings of a web application (disabled functions, timezone, memory and upload limits, process manager...). GET /servers/{id}/webapps/{webapp}/settings.
runcloud_list_webapp_logsThe activity log of a web application (settings changes, PHP version changes, deployments), newest first. GET /servers/{id}/webapps/{webapp}/log.
runcloud_list_domainsThe domain names of a web application: id, name, type (primary/alias), www, redirection, wildcard, DNS integration, status. GET /servers/{id}/webapps/{webapp}/domains.
runcloud_get_domain_dnsThe DNS records (A, CNAME...) a domain name needs to point at the server. GET /servers/{id}/webapps/{webapp}/domains/{domain}/dns.
runcloud_get_webapp_sslThe web application's SSL certificate (basic / web-app-level SSL): provider, validity, HTTPS settings. Private keys are never returned. GET /servers/{id}/webapps/{webapp}/ssl.
runcloud_get_ssl_methodWhether the web application uses basic (one certificate for the app) or advanced (one per domain) SSL, and its AutoSSL status. Advanced SSL is a Business/Enterprise feature. GET /servers/{id}/webapps/{webapp}/ssl/advanced.
runcloud_get_git_deploymentThe Git deployment configured on a web application: provider, branch, repository URL, auto-deploy flag, deployment script and whether it is an atomic deployment. The deployment webhook keys are not returned. The id of the result is the git_id for runcloud_deploy_git. GET /servers
runcloud_list_databasesThe databases on a server: id, name, collation. No credentials. GET /servers/{id}/databases.
runcloud_list_database_usersThe database users on a server (id, username). Passwords are never returned. GET /servers/{id}/databaseusers.
runcloud_list_cronjobsThe cron jobs of a server: id, label, user, schedule, command, enabled flag. The id is what runcloud_run_cronjob needs. GET /servers/{id}/cronjobs.
runcloud_list_supervisorsThe supervisor (background worker) jobs of a server: id, label, user, process count, auto start/restart, directory, command. GET /servers/{id}/supervisors.
runcloud_get_supervisor_statusThe live status (RUNNING, FATAL, BACKOFF...), pid and uptime of every supervisor process, by job label. GET /servers/{id}/supervisors/status.
runcloud_list_firewall_rulesThe firewall rules of a server: type (global/rich), port, protocol, IP address, action. GET /servers/{id}/security/firewalls.
runcloud_list_blocked_ipsThe IP addresses Fail2Ban currently blocks on a server. GET /servers/{id}/security/fail2ban/blockedip.
runcloud_list_backupsThe backup instances of the workspace: label, what they cover (web app / database), storage, type, frequency, size, status. Filter by server, storage, status or name. GET /backups.
runcloud_list_backup_snapshotsThe snapshots of one backup instance: run date, status, type and size. GET /backups/{id}/snapshots.
runcloud_list_atomic_projectsThe atomic Git deployment projects of the workspace: name, provider, repository, branch, auto-deploy, success/failure counts and the latest deployment. Webhook keys are not returned. GET /atomic.
runcloud_list_atomic_deploymentsThe deployments of an atomic project: commit hash, branch, message, committer, release name, status (DEPLOYING, COMPLETED, FAILED), start and end time. GET /atomic/{project}/deployments.
runcloud_control_serviceWRITE: run systemctl start, restart or reload on one service of a server (for example nginx-rc or php81rc-fpm). A restart briefly interrupts that service and the sites behind it. 'stop' is deliberately not offered. Get the realName from runcloud_list_services. PATCH /servers/{id}
runcloud_deploy_gitWRITE: force a Git deployment of a web application now: RunCloud pulls the configured branch and runs the deployment script, which changes the live site's files. Get git_id from runcloud_get_git_deployment (its id). PUT /servers/{id}/webapps/{webapp}/git/{git}/script.
runcloud_force_deploy_atomicWRITE: start an atomic deployment of a project now (builds a new release and switches the live symlink when it succeeds). PUT /atomic/{project}/forcedeploy.
runcloud_run_cronjobWRITE: force-run one cron job of a server once, right now, outside its schedule. The job's command runs on the server with its configured user. Get the id from runcloud_list_cronjobs. POST /servers/{id}/cronjobs/{job}/run.
runcloud_reload_supervisorWRITE: reload one supervisor job so its worker processes restart (running processes are interrupted). Get the id from runcloud_list_supervisors. POST /servers/{id}/supervisors/{job}/reload.
runcloud_renew_sslWRITE: redeploy (renew) the Let's Encrypt certificate of a web application, which re-issues it and reloads the web server. Let's Encrypt certificates only. For basic SSL pass the ssl_id from runcloud_get_webapp_ssl; for advanced (per-domain) SSL, which requires advanced SSL mode
runcloud_install_letsencrypt_sslWRITE: issue and install a free Let's Encrypt certificate for a web application (basic SSL) or for one domain of it (advanced SSL, pass domain_id; this requires advanced SSL mode, see runcloud_get_ssl_method). The web server is reloaded; the domain's DNS must already point at the

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
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.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
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.
