BorealHost MCP Server

<!-- mcp-name: ai.borealhost/mcp -->

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"
    }
  }
}

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://checkout.stripe.com/..."}

Agent: get_checkout_status("chk_...")  # poll until completed
→ {"status": "completed", "site_slug": "my-new-site"}

Agent: deploy("my-new-site")
→ {"success": true}

Authentication

• API key format: bh_ + 48 hex characters
• Scopes: read (view) → write (modify) → admin (delete/scale)
