xCloud MCP

A local MCP server that lets you manage your own xCloud servers and sites from inside your AI agent: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex CLI, or any other MCP-speaking harness.

You give it one xCloud Personal Access Token. It calls the xCloud REST API on your behalf and hands your agent a curated set of tools: list your fleet, check a server's health, read a site's logs, trigger a backup, apply WordPress updates, purge a cache, and so on. It runs on your own machine over stdio. Nothing about your account leaves your box except the calls you already make to xCloud.

Why you might want it

• Ask your agent about your infrastructure. "Which of my sites have pending WordPress updates?" "Is this server's disk filling up?" "Show me the last hour of access logs for example.com."
• Act on it, safely. Create a restore point before a risky change, run a vulnerability scan, purge a cache after a deploy, all without leaving the agent or pasting credentials into a prompt.
• Secure by default. You configure nothing to make it safe. Read and safe-write tools work out of the box; anything destructive is hidden until you deliberately turn it on, and then asks before it runs. See SECURITY.md.

Requirements

• Node.js 24 or newer.
• An xCloud Personal Access Token (PAT). Mint one at app.xcloud.host under Account, then API Tokens. Scope it as narrowly as the work needs. The token is your real safety boundary, so a read-only token can only ever read. See USAGE.md for how to store it.

Quick start

[!CAUTION] Keeping the token out of a plaintext config file (pulling it from macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager, gopass, 1Password, or Vault) is a one-line change covered in USAGE.md.

Claude Code — one command (-s user installs for every project; drop it to scope to the current project only):

claude mcp add xcloud -s user --env XCLOUD_API_TOKEN='your-xcloud-pat' -- npx -y @webnestify/[email protected]

Keep the single quotes around the token — xCloud PATs contain a |, which an unquoted shell would read as a pipe.

Other harnesses (Claude Desktop, Codex CLI, and anything else that speaks MCP) — add the server to your agent's MCP config and set your token. Most use an mcpServers block like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xcloud": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@webnestify/[email protected]"],
      "env": { "XCLOUD_API_TOKEN": "your-xcloud-pat" }
    }
  }
}

Pinning the version (@1.0.2) means you always run a known build rather than whatever is newest.

Prefer to run from source (for development or auditing)? Clone the repository, build it, and point your harness at the build:

npm install && npm run build

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xcloud": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/xcloud-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": { "XCLOUD_API_TOKEN": "your-xcloud-pat" }
    }
  }
}

Restart your agent, and the xCloud tools appear. Ask it to run whoami to confirm which account and team your token is scoped to.

What you can do

36 tools, grouped by how much they can change:

• 25 read tools. List and inspect servers, sites, services, firewall rules, backups, logs, SSL, vulnerabilities, WordPress status, and more. Available by default.
• 7 safe-write tools. Create a backup, run a scan, purge a cache, apply WordPress updates, mint a magic-login link. Reversible or non-disruptive, and available by default.
• 4 destructive tools. Reboot a server, restart a service, delete a firewall rule or cron job. Hidden until you opt in, and each one asks before it runs.

The full catalog, with every tool's classification and required token scope, is in FEATURES.md.

Documentation

• USAGE.md covers environment variables, per-OS credential setup, the example client config, and how to enable destructive tools.
• FEATURES.md is the complete tool catalog, plus what was deliberately left out and why.
• SECURITY.md covers the trust model, secret handling, redaction guarantees, the destructive-op gate, and how to report a vulnerability.

Status

v1.0.2, published to npm — install via npx as shown in the quick start. Every release carries signed build provenance and an attested SPDX SBOM you can verify (see SECURITY.md).
