Is there an official Hostinger MCP server?

Yes. The Hostinger MCP server is an official integration, maintained by the vendor or the Model Context Protocol project, which makes it the safest default for business use. It is maintained by Hostinger.

Is the Hostinger MCP server hosted, or do I run it myself?

It runs locally. Your AI client starts it on your own machine with hostinger-api-mcp, and it talks to the client over standard input and output rather than the network.

Do I need an API key for the Hostinger MCP server?

Yes. The local server reads HOSTINGER_API_TOKEN from its environment, so you create that credential first and add it to your client's config.

What can an AI assistant actually do with Hostinger?

Through this server an assistant can work with hosting, domains, dns, configuration — reading from and acting on Hostinger directly instead of you copy-pasting between windows. What you allow it to do is controlled by the permissions you grant.

How do I set this up for my business?

An agent with a live connection to your tools is a model that can act. Crox looks at what catches it when it acts wrongly: the layers around it, who can stop it, and where a near miss gets reported. Two days, one team, one model.
