mcphosting-cli

MCPHosting CLI

Deploy MCP servers in 30 seconds. The easiest way to host, connect, and manage Model Context Protocol servers.

Quick Start

npm install -g mcphosting-cli

mcphosting login --github    # Login with GitHub (recommended)
mcphosting deploy
# Done. Your MCP server is live. 🚀

That's it. Three commands. Your MCP server is deployed and ready for Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, and more.

Deploy

Deploy from current directory

cd my-mcp-server
mcphosting deploy

Auto-detects your MCP server (looks for @modelcontextprotocol/sdk in package.json) and deploys it.

Deploy from GitHub

mcphosting deploy --github https://github.com/user/my-mcp-server

Deploy with options

mcphosting deploy --name "My MCP" --auth api_key
mcphosting deploy --api-url https://my-existing-mcp.com/api

Connect

Connect any MCP server to your AI clients with one command:

mcphosting connect github           # Connect GitHub MCP
mcphosting connect notion           # Connect Notion MCP
mcphosting connect https://my.mcp   # Connect custom server

# Target specific client
mcphosting connect slack --client claude
mcphosting connect stripe --client cursor

Auto-detects Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and OpenClaw — configures all of them at once.

Supported AI Clients

Client	Auto-Config	Location
Claude Desktop		~/Library/Application Support/Claude/
Cursor		~/.cursor/mcp.json
VS Code		.vscode/mcp.json
OpenClaw		~/.openclaw/mcp.json
ChatGPT		Web setup instructions

How It Works

1. mcphosting login — Authenticates with MCPHosting.com
2. mcphosting deploy — Detects your MCP server, deploys to cloud
3. mcphosting connect — Configures your AI clients to use the server
4. Proxy mode — npx mcphosting-cli proxy <url> bridges STDIO HTTP

Your deployed server gets a URL like https://your-server.mcphost.dev that works with any MCP client.

Security

• Credentials stored locally in ~/.config/mcphosting/
• No data collection during proxy
• Open source — audit the code
• Optional auth — marketplace browsing works without login
