Panelica MCP Overview

Manage Panelica hosting resources through the panelica-mcp MCP server using natural-language requests from an MCP client. It discovers tools from the panel's live API specification, or uses a bundled catalogue when the panel is unavailable. Tool calls become HMAC-SHA256-signed HTTPS requests authenticated with an API key and secret. Reach for it when an agent needs to provision domains, issue SSL certificates, manage databases, or operate other Panelica resources.
