Install Obambu cPanel MCP in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y obambu-cpanel-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says

From the Obambu cPanel MCP repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

obambu-cpanel-mcp

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets an AI assistant (Claude, etc.) manage a cPanel hosting account through the cPanel UAPI.

It exposes tools for domains, DNS zones, email accounts, MySQL databases, and file listing, plus a generic escape hatch to call any other UAPI module/function.

Requirements

  • Node.js 18+
  • A cPanel account with API token access (Security → Manage API Tokens in cPanel)

Getting your cPanel credentials (Obambu example)

The four env vars below can come from any cPanel host, but here's how to find them on Obambu:

  • CPANELHOST** — your server hostname, e.g. cp4.obambu.com (or your own domain if cPanel is reachable at https://yourdomain.com:2083). Find it in your Obambu welcome email, or in your domain's DNS zone: look for an A record named cpanel (e.g. cpanel.yourdomain.com) — that same server also answers at its cpX.obambu.com hostname.
  • CPANELPORT** — 00000 (cPanel's default HTTPS port). Leave it unless your host says otherwise.
  • CPANELUSERNAME** — your cPanel account username, shown top-right when logged into cPanel, or in the welcome email Obambu sent when the hosting account was created.
  • CPANELAPITOKEN — generate one yourself, it is not your cPanel password:
  1. Log into cPanel at https://:00000
  2. Go to Security → Manage API Tokens
  3. Click Create, give it a name (e.g. mcp-server), optionally restrict it to specific ACLs, then Create
  4. Copy the token immediately — cPanel only shows it once

Using it with an MCP client (npx, recommended)

Published on npm as obambu-cpanel-mcp — no clone or build needed. Add it to your MCP client config (e.g. Claude Desktop / Claude Code):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "obambu-cpanel": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "obambu-cpanel-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "CPANEL_HOST": "your-server-hostname-or-ip",
        "CPANEL_PORT": "00000",
        "CPANEL_USERNAME": "your-cpanel-username",
        "CPANEL_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Running from source

git clone https://github.com/RodrigueDev13/obambu-cpanel-mcp.git
cd obambu-cpanel-mcp
npm install
cp .env.example .env

Edit .env with your cPanel details, then:

npm run build
npm start

For local development without building first:

npm run dev

When running from source, point your MCP client at the built entrypoint instead of npx:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "obambu-cpanel": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/obambu-cpanel-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "CPANEL_HOST": "your-server-hostname-or-ip",
        "CPANEL_PORT": "00000",
        "CPANEL_USERNAME": "your-cpanel-username",
        "CPANEL_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
      }
    }
  }
}
