Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 143 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name hetzner-cloud-mcp.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 32 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 143 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 143 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    81 of 81 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Pass
    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-11-10T23:33:26.731356Z, within 180 days.

Capabilities

Tools 32

hetzner_change_server_protection

Turn deletion and rebuild protection on or off for a server. Turning protection ON is the safest write in this server. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/change_protection.

Discovered
hetzner_create_image_from_server

Create a snapshot image from a server's disk — the safe thing to do BEFORE a risky change. Snapshots are billed for the space they use. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/create_image.

Discovered
hetzner_create_server

Provision a new server. THIS STARTS BILLING: the chosen server type is charged by the hour from the moment it boots. Call hetzner_list_server_types first to see prices, and hetzner_list_images for a bootable image. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers.

Discovered
hetzner_disable_server_backup

Turn off automatic backups for a server. Existing backups are DELETED. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/disable_backup.

Discovered
hetzner_enable_server_backup

Turn on automatic backups for a server. This adds roughly 20% to the server's price. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/enable_backup.

Discovered
hetzner_get_action

Fetch the status of one asynchronous action. Every write tool here returns an action id — poll it with this to see whether the operation finished. Hetzner Cloud: GET /actions/{id}.

Discovered
hetzner_get_certificates

Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /certificates/{id}.

Discovered
hetzner_get_firewalls

Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /firewalls/{id}.

Discovered
hetzner_get_floating_ips

Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /floating_ips/{id}.

Discovered
hetzner_get_load_balancers

Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /load_balancers/{id}.

Discovered
hetzner_get_networks

Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /networks/{id}.

Discovered
hetzner_get_pricing

Fetch the full price list for the project's currency — server types, volumes, traffic, floating IPs, load balancers and backups. Hetzner Cloud: GET /pricing.

Discovered
hetzner_get_primary_ips

Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /primary_ips/{id}.

Discovered
hetzner_get_server

Fetch a single server with its type, image, IPs, volumes, networks and protection flags. Hetzner Cloud: GET /servers/{id}.

Discovered
hetzner_get_server_metrics

Fetch CPU, disk or network time series for one server over a window. Hetzner Cloud: GET /servers/{id}/metrics.

Discovered
hetzner_get_ssh_keys

Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /ssh_keys/{id}.

Discovered
hetzner_get_volumes

Fetch a single resource by id. Hetzner Cloud: GET /volumes/{id}.

Discovered
hetzner_list_certificates

List TLS certificates, managed or uploaded, and their expiry. Hetzner Cloud: GET /certificates.

Discovered
hetzner_list_firewalls

List firewalls, their rules and which resources they are applied to. Hetzner Cloud: GET /firewalls.

Discovered
hetzner_list_floating_ips

List floating IPs and which server each is assigned to. Hetzner Cloud: GET /floating_ips.

Discovered
hetzner_list_images

List OS images, snapshots and backups you can boot or restore from. Hetzner Cloud: GET /images.

Discovered
hetzner_list_load_balancers

List load balancers, their services, targets and health status. Hetzner Cloud: GET /load_balancers.

Discovered
hetzner_list_locations

List the datacentre locations (city, country, network zone) servers can run in. Hetzner Cloud: GET /locations.

Discovered
hetzner_list_networks

List private networks, their IP ranges, subnets and routes. Hetzner Cloud: GET /networks.

Discovered
hetzner_list_primary_ips

List primary IPs and their assignments. Hetzner Cloud: GET /primary_ips.

Discovered
hetzner_list_server_types

List the available server types with their cores, memory, disk and hourly and monthly prices — read this before creating a server. Hetzner Cloud: GET /server_types.

Discovered
hetzner_list_servers

List the servers in the token's project, optionally filtered by name, status or a label selector. Hetzner Cloud: GET /servers.

Discovered
hetzner_list_ssh_keys

List the SSH public keys available to inject when creating a server. Hetzner Cloud: GET /ssh_keys.

Discovered
hetzner_list_volumes

List block-storage volumes, their size and which server they are attached to. Hetzner Cloud: GET /volumes.

Discovered
hetzner_poweron_server

Power on a stopped server. Returns an action id — poll it with hetzner_get_action. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/poweron.

Discovered
hetzner_reboot_server

Reboot a server gracefully via ACPI. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/reboot.

Discovered
hetzner_shutdown_server

Ask the guest OS to shut down gracefully via ACPI. Prefer this over a hard power-off. Note that a stopped server still costs money — only deleting it stops the bill. Hetzner Cloud: POST /servers/{id}/actions/shutdown.
