Get Started

Introduction

Deploy WordPress, custom PHP and Node apps, or any project — on servers you own. Manage SSL, backups and databases from the dashboard, the CLI, or by simply asking your AI agent.

Get started

The fastest way to work with xCloud is to connect your AI client over xCloud MCP and manage your hosting by asking. It works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex and any MCP-compatible client, it is built on the xCloud Public API, and it is free with every account.

Set up xCloud MCP

Connect your client, then ask it to manage your hosting.

Full setup guide →

Add xCloud as a remote MCP server, then run /mcp to authorize.

claude mcp add --transport http xcloud <YOUR-MCP-URL>

Copy <YOUR-MCP-URL> from Settings → Developers → MCP in your dashboard.

Using another MCP client? Copy your MCP URL from the dashboard and point your client at it.

Settings → Developers → MCPOpen dashboard docs →

Ask your agent

Once the connector is live, describe the task in plain words — the agent picks the right xCloud tool, runs it under the permissions you set, and hands the result back in the conversation. Three prompts to confirm it is working:

  • “List all my xCloud servers.”
  • “Which of my sites have pending WordPress updates?”
  • “Take a backup of my staging site.”

Build directly

Prefer to click, or building your own integration? Start in the dashboard or call the Public API that MCP itself runs on.

For AI agents: every doc is available as plain Markdown — add index.md to any docs URL, or use Copy page above to hand this page to your LLM.

What can xCloud do?

Why xCloud?

xCloud is managed WordPress hosting on infrastructure you control. Bring your own cloud provider, and xCloud handles the servers, security and updates for you — through a dashboard, an API, or your AI agent.

  • Any provider. Run on DigitalOcean, AWS, Vultr, Hetzner, Linode and more, or your own VPS.
  • WordPress-first. Staging, one-click apps, migrations and backups built for WordPress teams.
  • Fully managed. Free SSL, firewalls and vulnerability scans, kept up to date for you.
  • Agent-ready. The same Public API powers the dashboard and xCloud MCP, so nothing happens off the record.
