borealhost://api/errors | Error codes with HTTP status and recovery guidance |
borealhost://api/scopes | API key scope hierarchy and tool requirements |
borealhost://api/enums | Valid enum values (checkout status, DNS types, log types, etc.) |

Prompts
5 guided workflow prompts for common operations:
purchase_hosting— Step-by-step plan purchase flowsetup_site— Post-purchase site configurationmanage_dns— Common DNS operationsregister_domain— Domain registration with WHOIS checklistclaim_site_key— Challenge-response key claiming
Example Workflow
Agent: register()
→ {"api_key": "bh_...", "scopes": ["read", "write"]}
Agent: list_plans()
→ [{"slug": "starter", "price_monthly": 9.99, ...}, ...]
Agent: create_checkout("bh_site_starter_monthly")
→ {"checkout_id": "chk_...", "checkout_secret": "..."}
Agent: update_checkout("chk_...", requested_slug="my-new-site")
→ {"status": "ready"}
Agent: complete_checkout("chk_...")
→ {"payment_url": "https://borealhost.ai/pay/chk_.../?s=...",
"confirmation_url": "https://borealhost.ai/pay/chk_.../confirmation/?s=..."}
# show payment_url to the human; paying provisions the site
Agent: get_checkout_status("chk_...") # poll until completed
→ {"status": "completed", "api_key": "bh_...", # shown ONCE
"site": {"slug": "my-new-site", "status": "active"}}
Agent: get_site_status("my-new-site")
→ {"status": "active", "url": "https://my-new-site.borealhost.ai"}

bh_+ 48 hex characters - Scopes:

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
