veldhost has a built-in MCP server — the open standard AI assistants use to work with external tools. Connect it and your assistant can check your sites' health, read logs, look at deploys, backups, traffic, domains and DNS, and answer questions like "why is my site down?" with real data.
The endpoint
https://manage.veldhost.eu/mcp
The easy way — just sign in: add the URL above as a connector in your assistant and leave authentication empty. You'll be sent to the normal veldhost login (passkeys work), see exactly what the assistant will be allowed to do, and approve. You can revoke the connection any time.
Or use a token: it also accepts the same personal token as the API — create one under API tokens. Either way, permissions decide what the assistant may do: with just read it can only look; deploy, manage (staging, cron, backups & restore) and dns let it act. Nothing it exposes can ever buy anything or delete a site.
Claude
In Claude (web or desktop): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste https://manage.veldhost.eu/mcp. No token needed — Claude walks you through the veldhost sign-in.
In Claude Code:
# OAuth (recommended — it will open the sign-in for you) claude mcp add veldhost https://manage.veldhost.eu/mcp --transport http # or with a personal token claude mcp add veldhost https://manage.veldhost.eu/mcp \ --transport http \ --header "Authorization: Bearer mpc_..."
ChatGPT
With developer mode enabled (Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced): create a connector with the endpoint above and OAuth authentication — ChatGPT discovers our sign-in automatically.
Other assistants
Any MCP client that supports the Streamable HTTP transport works — via OAuth (the client registers itself automatically) or a bearer token. Cursor, VS Code and other IDE clients use the same URL.

Anything that would cost money stays in your hands: the assistant can prepare and price, but paying and confirming always happens here in the portal, signed in as you. Restores additionally require the assistant to confirm with you in the conversation before they run.
