Install Hetzner Cloud (unofficial) for Cursor

Cursor reads ~/.cursor/mcp.json. A project can also commit .cursor/mcp.json.

Needs Cursor or VS Code installed on this device. The button opens the app and asks you to confirm before it adds the server.

  1. Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json on macOS, %USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json on Windows, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json on Linux.

  2. Paste the JSON config below.

  3. Replace placeholder secrets, then restart the client if it does not reload on its own.

~/.cursor/mcp.json
{  "mcpServers": {    "mguttmann-the-real-hetzner-mcp": {      "command": "npx",      "args": [        "-y",        "@mguttmann/hetzner-cloud-mcp@0.2.0"      ],      "env": {        "HETZNER_API_TOKEN": "YOUR_HETZNER_API_TOKEN",        "HETZNER_READ_ONLY": "false",        "HETZNER_CONFIRM_WRITES": "false",        "HETZNER_DENY_TOOLS": "",        "LOG_LEVEL": "warn"      }    }  }}
