🌟 Featured

🎉 Now part of the official Awesome HCloud list!

Using with Claude Desktop

Create a file in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json with the following contents:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hetzner": {
      "command": "<your path to golang MCP server go executable>",
      "env": {
        "HCLOUD_TOKEN": "YOUR-HCLOUD-TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

🛠 Build Client

npm --prefix ./client i
npm --prefix ./client run build

🖥 Build Server

go mod init github.com/MahdadGhasemian/mcp-hetzner-go
go mod tidy
go build -o mcphetzner
# go run .

🚀 Run Client

node ./client/build/index.js ./mcphetzner

⚠️ Usage Restrictions

The server supports two operation modes, controlled by the configuration:

• Read-Only mode: Only allows GET and LIST operations.
• Read-Write mode: Allows GET, LIST, and CREATE/UPDATE/DELETE operations.

By default, the server starts in read-only mode.
To enable write operations (such as creating, updating, or deleting resources), you must explicitly set the configuration flag to enable read-write mode.

Warning: Enabling write mode allows the client to make changes to your Hetzner Cloud resources.
Ensure you understand the implications and have proper access controls in place.

Switching Modes

Edit your configuration or pass the relevant environment variable/flag at launch:

• For read-only (default; safe for inspection and monitoring):

  ./mcphetzner --restriction=read_only
  

• For read-write (use with caution!):

  ./mcphetzner --restriction=read_write
  

✅ Lint

# install golangci-lint and then run:
golangci-lint run
