Setup

Get Connected in Minutes

Connect your assistant in a couple of minutes, choose what it can access, and start managing your hosting through conversation.

  1. Choose Your Connection Method

    Connect through OAuth for supported clients, or use an API key for everything else.

  2. Connect Your Client

    Pick your AI client and follow the short setup instructions shown in your dashboard.

  3. Start Right Away

    Ask your assistant to list your servers and you are live. From there, launch, ship deployments, and review logs by simply asking.

Connect

Add xCloud as a Custom Connector

Copy your MCP URL from the dashboard, add it to your client as a connector, and authorize the team it may act on. The whole thing takes a couple of minutes.

xCloud dashboard
  1. Settings -> Developers -> MCPOpen the MCP page in your xCloud dashboard
  2. Copy the MCP URL for your clientEach supported client has its own setup section there
  3. Connectors -> Add -> Add Custom ConnectorIn Claude Desktop, name it and paste the URL

Then choose an access level

The xCloud authorization page shows the account and the team you are connecting. Pick Full Access for read and write, or Read Only to start safe. You can reconnect with wider access later.

Full Access · Read Only

Then set tool permissions

Every xCloud tool can be set on its own, so the agent runs the safe things unattended and asks before it changes anything.

Always Allow · Needs Approval · BlockedRead the full setup guide

Three prompts to confirm the connection is live.

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

Ask For It, and Your Agent Does It

Once the connector is live, your assistant works with your real infrastructure. Describe the task in plain words, it picks the right xCloud tool, runs it under the permissions you set, and hands the result back in the conversation.

  • Server health

    Check a server's health, review monitoring stats, restart a service, and manage PHP, databases and cron jobs.

  • Site operations

    Take a backup before a risky change, purge a cache, manage domains, and read deployment logs without opening a tab.

  • WordPress upkeep

    Find the sites with pending updates, update plugins and themes, and confirm the site is healthy afterwards.

  • SSL and certificates

    Install, renew and check certificates, including free Let's Encrypt, before anything expires.

  • Security scans

    Pull the latest vulnerability scan for a site and act on what it finds, all inside the same conversation.

  • Built on the Public API

    MCP speaks to the same documented xCloud Public API you can call yourself, so nothing is happening off the record.

See why agencies, developers, startups, and growing businesses choose xCloud to power their projects.

xCloud works really well, I am surprised by its performance being this the release version, I have tried many paid platforms such as runcloud, cloudpages or serveravatar, as well as free platforms such as CyberPanel, CloudPanel or Hestia Control Panel and direct competitors such as SpinupWP and FlyWP. Of all those that I have tried, the platform that works best for WordPress is SpinupWP and I believe that xCloud can reach and surpass that development, its roadmap is promising. Congratulations to the xCloud team, I hope they become the leading platform in the segment, it has all the potential to achieve it!

I've been with runcloud for the last 3 years. However, after trying xcloud for the last month, I'm switching over. They are on a roll with their setup.

I'm moving my servers to xCloud, a cloud control panel by M Asif Rahman and the WPDeveloper team. Their roadmap looks interesting and no, there are no team mates nor API limits with xCloud! #xCloud #wordpress #hosting

How Cloud Nine Web Elevated Client Experience While Streamlining Hosting Operations using xCloud
Ed Ellingham
xCloud is like having an expert server team on call — without the big agency costs. It's given me back my time and given my clients peace of mind. Highly recommended for freelancers and small teams who want reliable performance and security.
Dumitru Butucel
xCloud isn't just a solution. It's like one of that friend who got your back when you screw things up pretty bad.
Waqar Ahmed
Trust me when I say, once people explore the potential of xCloud they gonna switch from other panels, just keep delivering the best tech, lots of love for the team 😍😍
Rahul Singh
So far my experience has been smooth like silk. I didn't imagine that configuring and managing a VPS would be so easy. As of today, I have deployed 8 sites. The support is good, and they treat users with respect, even if they ask stupid questions (myself included). For the future, I hope for greater flexibility in scheduled backups and more comprehensive and consistent documentation. I'm sure that within a few months, xCloud will become the leader in its segment. This community is amazing, and the Staff here is super helpful.

Came from cloudways then to runcloud then to xcloud. Looks like I'm staying here.
Gerson El
I've recently taken all of my Vultr-hosted sites and gotten rid of cPanel for them to substitute it with xCloud. I have to say, I'm really impressed with xCloud so far! The interface is definitely the standout feature for me.
Tony Lewis
I came from Cloudways and won't go back. Highly impressed with xCloud. Glad I gave them a chance.
Jared McDowell
I like xCloud better than RunCloud, but one thing I'll point out is that some years ago RunCloud was hungry for business, the support was outstanding, and the community was active and helped each other. Maybe it was sold, there was a change in management, or they stopped being hungry, but the quality of the RunCloud offering declined and it hasn't been moving forward quickly. My point is that currently the xCloud team has the edge and it is theirs to keep or lose

How Kevin Heinrichs Cut Hosting Costs by 84% While Running WooCommerce & Node.js Sites Efficiently
Kevin Heinrichs
I had 150 sites on cloudways and am in the process of moving them to xcloud. Much faster and better priced.
Dan Spinoza
Dear xCloud Team, I have been using xCloud for some time now and am genuinely impressed with its capabilities and the flexibility it offers by allowing users to bring their own VPS for management. It's a fantastic service, and my experience so far has been very positive. Successful migrated 5 sites on a single server. Xcloud migration tool worked great. There were few hiccups with security plugin like MalCare but disabling the plugin prior to migration worked just fine.

xCloud gave me what no other hosting platform could: the flexibility of a VPS with the convenience of managed WordPress. As a solo founder running an entire business on one server, that combination is an important unfair advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.

Is xCloud MCP free?

Yes. xCloud MCP comes free with your xCloud account. There is no separate plan, no extra purchase, and nothing to upgrade. This feature is included for every xCloud user, on both managed and self-managed servers.

What is MCP?

MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open standard that lets AI agents connect to external tools and act on your behalf. With xCloud MCP connected, you can ask your agent to check a server's health, run a backup, update plugins, purge a cache, or pull the latest vulnerability scan, and it does it through your xCloud account.

Which AI clients can I connect?

Any MCP-compatible client. Supported clients connect over OAuth, and everything else can use an API key. Your dashboard lists the setup instructions for each one under Settings, Developers, MCP.

Can I limit what the agent is allowed to do?

Yes, at two levels. When you authorize the connection you choose Full Access or Read Only, and Read Only is a safe place to start. After that, every xCloud tool can be set on its own to Always Allow, Needs Approval, or Blocked. A good default is Always Allow for read actions like listing sites, and Needs Approval for anything that changes your infrastructure.

How is this different from xCloud AI Agent Skills?

The skills are a plugin you install into Claude Code. MCP is an open protocol, so it is the way to connect every other client, including Claude Desktop and Cursor. Both are free, and both run on the same xCloud Public API.
