\# 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

```bash

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

```bash

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

```



\### 4. Verify the connection

```bash

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
