How do I install the Everpod MCP server?

You do not install it locally; connect your MCP client to https://everpod.ai/mcp over HTTP. Create a key at everpod.ai/account/keys and send it as an Authorization Bearer token. Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw each have documented connection commands.

How do I authenticate the Everpod MCP server?

Authenticate with an Everpod API key in the Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY header. Create the key from the Everpod account keys page, then configure the client with the hosted endpoint. Codex can read the key from the EVERPOD_API_KEY environment variable.

Can Everpod start a developer pod?

Yes, Everpod can start a developer pod when start_pod is called with kind set to developer. The owner must still pay through the returned link and complete the user-controlled connection steps. get_pod reports which of those steps are complete, but the server cannot access the machine.

Overview

Everpod MCP server connects an MCP client to an Everpod account through a hosted HTTP endpoint. It lets an agent list pods, inspect an individual pod, and start an OpenClaw or developer pod without handling payment itself. Use it when an agent needs to provision or monitor an always-on cloud computer for Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, or another supported workflow. Authentication uses an Everpod key sent as a Bearer token.

list_pods

List the pods on the owner's Everpod account, oldest first. Each has its kind, its status and the link its owner needs: pay_url while it is awaiting payment, url (the pod's page on everpod.ai) once it is paid.

get_pod

Read one pod by its id: its status and the link its owner needs. This is how to check whether a started pod has been paid for, whether it is ready, and for a developer pod, which of its owner's steps to connect it are done.

start_pod

Start a new pod for the owner: an OpenClaw pod, or with kind 'developer' a developer pod. This call charges nothing: the pod stays unpaid until its owner opens pay_url in their browser and pays there. While the account has an unpaid pod, calling again returns that same pod, changed to the name and…

How Everpod works

What Everpod MCP server does

Everpod MCP server gives an existing MCP client access to a small set of account and pod operations on Everpod. It is intended for managing cloud computers associated with the authenticated account, rather than controlling the machine after it has been created.

The available pod types are OpenClaw and developer. An agent can request a new pod, receive the payment link, and later inspect its status. Starting a pod does not charge the account. The owner must open the supplied payment link and complete payment on everpod.ai. If an unpaid pod already exists, another start request returns that pod and applies the newly requested name and kind.

How it works

The service is hosted at https://everpod.ai/mcp, so there is no local package or process to install. An MCP client connects over HTTP and authenticates each request with an Everpod API key in the Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY header.

Everpod MCP server exposes three operations:

list_pods returns the account's pods in oldest-first order, including each pod's kind, status, and the relevant account link.
get_pod reads one pod by ID. Its response helps determine whether payment is complete, whether the pod is ready, and which developer-pod connection steps have been completed.
start_pod requests an OpenClaw pod or, when kind is developer, a developer pod.

The service does not let the key pay for a pod, modify or cancel a plan, delete resources, open an agent control panel, or access the machine belonging to a developer pod.

Setup and configuration

Create a key at everpod.ai/account/keys by signing in with an email address and the code sent to it. Configure the MCP client with the hosted URL and the key header. For Codex, the documented setup stores the key in EVERPOD_API_KEY and passes that variable as the bearer-token source. Other clients can use an equivalent environment-variable reference in their MCP configuration.

Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw have documented connection commands. OpenClaw can also install the Everpod skill, while Claude Code and Codex can install the developer-pod skill from the Everpod skills repository. The skills provide additional instructions for completing the user-controlled steps needed to open a developer pod.

Tools and capabilities

Everpod MCP server is suitable for agents that need to discover existing pods, track a pod after creation, or tell an owner where payment and account actions must occur. Its REST operations are also available through Everpod's JavaScript and Python client libraries.

A developer pod can be prepared from an initial request through the remaining connection steps, but the owner performs those steps. The MCP tools report progress; they do not provide direct access to the developer pod's machine.

Limitations and notes

Payment remains an interactive browser action on everpod.ai. The MCP key cannot pay, change or cancel a plan, delete anything, open the agent's control panel, or reach a developer pod's computer. Pod readiness and developer connection progress should be checked with get_pod after creation or payment. The material does not describe local hosting, configurable server settings, or additional MCP tools.

Frequently Asked Questions about Everpod

Everpod is an MCP server that connects an MCP client to your Everpod account through the hosted HTTPS endpoint at everpod.ai/mcp. Its main tools list existing pods, read one pod by ID, and start an OpenClaw or developer pod. Starting does not charge; payment happens separately through the returned payment link.
