Overview

The hostinger-ssh-mcp MCP server connects Claude Code to a Hostinger VPS or another Linux VPS over SSH. It exposes a run_command tool so commands can be issued from the Claude Code chat panel in VS Code. Reach for it when you need to inspect processes, disk usage, logs, or other shell-accessible system details without leaving the editor.

Use cases

  • Run shell commands on a remote VPS
  • Check disk space from Claude Code
  • Inspect running Python processes
  • Tail application logs remotely

Key features

  • SSH access to Hostinger or Linux VPS instances
  • Remote shell execution with run_command
  • Claude Code registration through the MCP CLI
  • Environment-based VPS credentials
  • VS Code chat-panel workflow

How Hostinger Ssh MCP works

What hostinger-ssh-mcp does

The hostinger-ssh-mcp MCP server gives Claude Code an SSH connection to a remote Hostinger VPS. It is also described as working with any Linux VPS that provides SSH access, so the package is not limited to Hostinger infrastructure.

Once configured, commands can be requested in the Claude Code chat panel in VS Code. Example tasks include checking available disk space, listing running Python processes, and reading the most recent lines from a log file. The remote work is performed through SSH rather than on the local development machine.

How it works

The package runs as an MCP server and is registered with Claude Code using the claude mcp add command. Claude Code then discovers the server under the configured name and can use its run_command capability to send shell commands to the VPS.

The connection requires a host address, a VPS username, and a password. These values are read from environment variables in a .env file located in the package directory. After registration, claude mcp list can be used to check whether Claude Code reports the server as connected.

Setup and configuration

Install Node.js 18 or newer, Claude Code, and access to a Hostinger VPS or another Linux VPS over SSH. Install the package globally with npm:

Terminal
npm install -g hostinger-ssh-mcp

Create a .env file in the package directory with VPS_HOST, VPS_USER, and VPS_PASS. The host value should identify the VPS, while the other two values provide the SSH login credentials.

Register the hostinger-ssh-mcp MCP server with Claude Code using:

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

Run claude mcp list to verify the connection. The expected result is a connected hostinger-vps entry. Keep the .env file out of source control; the package includes a .gitignore rule that excludes it.

Tools and capabilities

The documented capability is run_command. It can be used to:

  • Execute shell commands on the remote VPS.
  • Inspect disk space and running processes.
  • Read recent lines from files such as application logs.
  • Perform other tasks available through the VPS shell.

Commands are requested conversationally in Claude Code, for example by asking it to use run_command to inspect a process list or tail a log file.

Limitations and notes

The material documents Claude Code in VS Code as the usage environment. It does not describe additional MCP tools beyond run_command, nor does it document file transfer, deployment workflows, or specialized Hostinger APIs.

SSH access must already be available, and the VPS needs to accept the supplied credentials. The setup uses a password variable, but the project recommends considering SSH key authentication for production use. Credentials should not be committed to version control. The package is released under the MIT license.

Frequently Asked Questions about Hostinger Ssh MCP

hostinger-ssh-mcp is an MCP server that connects Claude Code to a Hostinger VPS or another Linux VPS over SSH. Its main tool, run_command, lets Claude Code execute shell commands on the remote machine from the Claude Code chat panel in VS Code. It uses VPS credentials supplied through environment variables.

Install Node.js 18 or newer, then run `npm install -g hostinger-ssh-mcp`. Create a `.env` file with the VPS connection variables and register the server with `claude mcp add hostinger-vps --scope user -- npx hostinger-ssh-mcp`.

It requires `VPS_HOST`, `VPS_USER`, and `VPS_PASS`. Put these values in a `.env` file in the package directory: the VPS address, the SSH username, and the SSH password.

Run `claude mcp list` after registering the server. Claude Code should show the `hostinger-vps` entry as connected when the SSH configuration is valid.
