Connect the Hostwares MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf or Lovable, then deploy, read logs, set env, run SQL and add domains on every product in plain language.

What it is
The Hostwares MCP server lets any Model Context Protocol client - Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, ChatGPT or Lovable - control every Hostwares product on your account: websites, managed databases, dedicated Supabase, Cloud Instances and domains. It is for developers who already work inside an AI coding agent and want to deploy, read logs, set environment variables, run SQL, open a terminal and roll back without leaving it. Connecting is free; you pay only for what you order. Unlike a chatbot, the agent runs real tools, scoped to your own account, and anything that costs money or takes a site offline waits for an approval link you open yourself.
Using Claude.ai, Claude Desktop or ChatGPT? Skip this step: they sign in to Hostwares directly and you choose the access there.
Read only
Status, logs and lists. Changes nothing.
Coding agent
Deploy, set env, restart, and read your app's database. The usual choice.
Coding agent + database
Also change your app's database. Each change asks you first.
Full account access
Everything on your own account that has a tool. Paid and destructive actions stay off unless you turn them on.
hwk_ and is shown only once.Run this in your terminal
claude mcp add --transport http hostwares https://mcp.hostwares.com \ --header "Authorization: Bearer hwk_your_key_here"
Replace hwk_your_key_here with an agent key from Dashboard, API Keys.
Open a new chat and ask in your own words, for example:
Ask “what can you do on Hostwares?” to see what your key allows.
Real tools on your account, not advice.

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets an AI assistant call real tools. With the Hostwares server connected, your assistant can deploy, read logs, set variables and add domains on your account instead of only telling you how.
Claude Code, Claude Desktop and claude.ai, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and Lovable, plus any client that speaks MCP over HTTP. Clients that only run local commands use the hostwares-mcp bridge.
Yes. Sites, managed databases, dedicated Supabase instances, Cloud Instances and domains all have tools: deploy, redeploy, roll back, set env, read logs, run SQL, open a terminal session, add a domain, check invoices. The key reaches only your own products.
Yes. Once the code is on GitHub, ask your agent to deploy the repo to Hostwares; it creates the site, you pay the invoice from the approval link, and the build starts. The same agent can then add your domain and set the Supabase keys.
A key or connection reaches only your own account, and only the areas you allowed. Anything that costs money or takes something offline returns an approval link that you open on hostwares.com. Every call is listed under Recent agent activity, and you can revoke a key or disconnect an app at any time.
Ask the agent you already have open. Over MCP it can run diagnose_site, read the logs, and propose a restart, rollback or env fix; HW, the Hostwares AI DevOps agent, does the same from the dashboard chat and the CLI.
Connecting is free. Your AI assistant runs on its own plan. You pay Hostwares only for what you order, such as a site from $1/mo or a database from $10/mo, through a normal invoice you approve.
Yes. hw is the Hostwares agent in your terminal. It uses the same tools and the same approvals.
Create a scoped key, paste one config block, and deploy from the chat you already have open.
