Connect Claude

Hostly is not yet listed in the Claude connector directory. You add it as a custom connector at claude.ai. The connector is then also available in the Claude desktop and mobile apps.

Free, Pro, and Max plans

1. Open Customize → Connectors.

2. Click Add custom connector.

3. Enter a name, for example Hostly, and the server URL:

   https://api.hostly.ninja/mcp

4. Keep the default authentication settings. Hostly does not need an OAuth client ID or secret.

5. Click Add, then Connect, and sign in with your Hostly account.

On the Free plan, you can add one custom connector.

Team and Enterprise plans

On Team and Enterprise plans, an organization Owner adds the connector once for everybody:

1. Open Organization settings → Connectors.
2. Select Add, then Custom. If Claude asks for the connector type, choose Web.
3. Enter the server URL https://api.hostly.ninja/mcp and click Add.

Each member then opens Customize → Connectors, finds Hostly with the Custom label, clicks Connect, and signs in with their own Hostly account.

Use Hostly in a chat

Click the + button in the chat input, open Connectors, and make sure Hostly is turned on. Then ask Claude, for example:

Show me the logs of the service "api" in my workspace.

Claude asks for your approval before it uses a Hostly tool. Only choose Always allow for tools that do not change anything, such as listing services or reading logs.

Claude Code

If you use Claude Code, add Hostly from your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http hostly https://api.hostly.ninja/mcp

Then start Claude Code, run /mcp, select hostly, and sign in with your Hostly account in the browser window that opens.

Troubleshooting

• Hostly does not appear in the chat: Turn it on under + → Connectors.
• Sign-in fails: Remove the connector under Customize → Connectors and add it again.
• A tool call is rejected: Your Hostly account lacks the required permission in that workspace. Ask a workspace member with the right permissions to adjust your role.
