Details

From the project README

Kinsta MCP by usefulapi

Use Kinsta from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — sites, environments, backups, plugins, logs, analytics and domains, plus cache clears, PHP restarts and manual backups. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Kinsta credentials.

Live endpoint: https://kinsta.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/kinsta

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://kinsta.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http kinsta https://kinsta.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kinsta": {
      "url": "https://kinsta.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Kinsta credentials.

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.
