Features

• Servers: Create, delete, power on/off, reboot, resize; attach to networks and ISOs
• Load Balancers: Full CRUD, add/remove targets and services; list_load_balancer_types for creation
• Networks: Create/delete networks; add/delete subnets (e.g. 10.0.0.0/16 per zone for private networking)
• Volumes: Create, attach, detach, delete block storage
• Firewalls: Create, update, delete firewalls
• Floating IPs: Create, assign, unassign, delete
• Primary IPs: Create, assign, unassign, delete (datacenter-scoped static IPs; server must be off to assign/unassign)
• SSH Keys: Full CRUD
• Placement Groups: Full CRUD for anti-affinity groups
• Metadata & actions: Locations, images, server types, load balancer types, datacenters; list_actions / get_action to poll create/delete results

All operations work through natural language in Cursor's AI agent.

Installation

Install the plugin from the Cursor Plugin marketplace, then set your Hetzner API token: in Cursor Settings → Features → Model Context Protocol, find the hetzner-cloud server and set HCLOUD_TOKEN in its environment.

Usage

Ask Cursor's agent to manage your Hetzner infrastructure:

Simple

• "List my servers in Nuremberg"
• "Create a cx22 server with Ubuntu 24.04"
• "Attach a 10GB volume to web-01"
• "Set up a load balancer for my web servers"
• "Show current pricing for cpx31 servers"

Complex

• "Create a private network 10.0.0.0/16 in eu-central, add a subnet, then create two servers in that zone (e.g. fsn1 and nbg1) and attach them"
• "Create a firewall for SSH and HTTP, attach to my web servers, then create a load balancer and add those servers as targets"
• "List running actions and get status of action 12345"
• "Create a Primary IP in ash-dc1, power off web-01, assign the IP, power back on"
• "Tear down: detach/delete volumes, delete LB and firewall, unassign/delete floating IPs, delete servers web-01 and web-02"

Configuration

Set HCLOUD_TOKEN in your environment or configure in plugins/hetzner-mcp/mcp.json:

  "mcpServers": {
    "hetzner-cloud": {
      "command": "node",
