# hostinger-ssh-mcp

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects Claude Code to a Hostinger VPS via SSH. Run shell commands on your VPS directly from the Claude Code chat interface in VS Code.

## Prerequisites

- [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/overview) installed

- A Hostinger VPS (or any Linux VPS) with SSH access

- Node.js v18 or higher

## Installation

### 1. Install the package

npm install -g hostinger-ssh-mcp

### 2. Create a .env file

Create a .env file in the package directory with your VPS credentials:

VPS\_HOST=your\_vps\_ip\_address

VPS\_USER=your\_vps\_username

VPS\_PASS=your\_vps\_password

### 3. Register with Claude Code

claude mcp add hostinger-vps --scope user -- npx hostinger-ssh-mcp

### 4. Verify the connection

claude mcp list

You should see hostinger-vps: ✓ Connected.

## Usage

In the Claude Code chat panel in VS Code, you can now run commands on your VPS naturally:

- *"Use run_command to check disk space on the VPS"*

- *"Use run_command to show running Python processes"*

- *"Use run_command to tail the last 50 lines of ~/mybot/bot.log"*

## Security Notes

- Never commit your .env file to version control

- Consider setting up SSH key authentication instead of password for production use

- The .gitignore included in this package excludes .env automatically
