🔗 BoostU Combell MCP

The open-source Combell MCP server. Manage your domains, DNS, hosting, mail and databases from Claude and other AI assistants, in plain language. 🤖

Prefer not to self-host?
Use the managed, always-on edition at combell-mcp.boostu.be: paste your Combell API key once, magic-link login, and a one-click connector for Claude. Free during the preview, paid plans after.
This repository is the open-source MCP server itself: run it locally with your own Combell API key. The hosted edition adds multi-tenant authentication, a dashboard, usage insights and managed credential storage on top of the same server.

💡 What is this?

combell-mcp-boostu is a Model Context Protocol server that exposes the Combell API v2 to AI assistants such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and Windsurf. It provides 74 tools spanning the public Combell surface: accounts and servicepacks, domain names, DNS records, Linux and Windows hosting, scheduled tasks, SSH keys, mailboxes and mail zones, MySQL databases and users, and SSL certificates. Point your AI at it and manage your hosting through natural language.

	Self-host (this repo)	Managed (boostu.be)
Price	Free, MIT-licensed	Free preview, then paid
Setup	Create an API key in My Combell, run via `npx`	Copy one connector URL into Claude
Credentials	You manage `.env` and the IP whitelist	Encrypted at rest, one IP to whitelist

    U["🧑 You"] -->|"plain language"| C["🤖 Claude / AI assistant"]
    C <-->|"MCP · stdio"| S["🔗 combell-mcp-boostu"]
    S <-->|"HMAC-signed REST"| T["🌐 Combell API v2"]

You ask Claude in plain language. Claude calls this MCP server, which signs every request with your Combell API key and secret (HMAC-SHA256) and runs the matching API call. Your data stays at Combell; this server only brokers the calls.

🔐 Authentication

You need two env vars: COMBELL_API_KEY and COMBELL_API_SECRET. Generate them in My Combell > API (the API section of your Combell control panel).

Combell restricts API access per IP address: add the public IP address (or range) of the machine that runs this server to the whitelist in the same API section, otherwise every call answers 401.

The API uses HMAC authentication; there is no OAuth flow and no token rotation, so nothing has to be persisted between restarts. For the details (how the signature is built, IP whitelisting, troubleshooting) see docs/AUTHENTICATION.md.

🏗️ Architecture

The core of the server is createServer in src/server.ts, which is transport-agnostic: it takes a CombellClient and registers the enabled tool groups, returning a plain McpServer instance that the entry point (src/index.ts) wires to a StdioServerTransport. Tool logic lives in per-domain modules under src/tools/, each using the defineTool helper in src/lib/tool.ts (shared try / respond / catch / respondError and annotations). Paths are built with the p tagged template (src/lib/path.ts) so every path parameter is percent-encoded. HMAC signing lives in src/api/auth.ts and the HTTP client with paging, rate-limit and error handling in src/api/client.ts. A hosted, multi-tenant edition of this server is available at combell-mcp.boostu.be.

✅ Endpoint Verification

The tools are implemented from the official OpenAPI description of the Combell API v2 and exercised with unit tests against a fake client (exact paths, query strings and bodies). They have not yet been run against a live reseller account from this repository; if an endpoint misbehaves the call fails with the API's own error code and text rather than silently misbehaving. The full endpoint manifest is in docs/combell-endpoints.md. The certificate download endpoint (GET /sslcertificates/{fingerprint}/download) is deliberately not exposed: it returns a password-protected PFX binary that does not belong in an AI conversation.

Inputs: enabled (required), user_name (required), database_name (required).

combell_provisioning_jobs_getA

Read-onlyIdempotent

Get the status of a provisioning job (returned by account, MySQL database/user and domain operations). While the job is ongoing the response has status 'ongoing' with an estimated completion time; once finished it has status 'finished' and resource_links to the created resources. Do not retry the original operation until the job reports finished or cancelled; contact Combell support on 'failed'.

Inputs: job_id (required).

combell_scheduled_tasks_createB

Add a scheduled task (cron job) to a Linux hosting that runs a script on the hosting.

Inputs: domain_name (required), cron_expression (required), script_location (required), enabled.

Destructive

Delete a scheduled task from a Linux hosting. SIDE EFFECT: irreversible.

Inputs: domain_name (required), scheduled_task_id (required).

combell_scheduled_tasks_getA

Read-onlyIdempotent

Get a scheduled task of a Linux hosting by id.

Inputs: domain_name (required), scheduled_task_id (required).

combell_scheduled_tasks_listA

Read-onlyIdempotent

List the scheduled tasks (cron jobs) of a Linux hosting.

Inputs: domain_name (required).

combell_scheduled_tasks_updateA

Idempotent

Update a scheduled task. The current task is read first and only the fields you pass are changed.

Inputs: domain_name (required), scheduled_task_id (required), enabled, cron_expression, +1 more.

combell_servicepacks_listA

Read-onlyIdempotent

List the servicepacks (product packages) available on your Combell reseller contract, with their ids.

Inputs: no named parameters.

combell_ssh_keys_addA

Attach an SSH public key to a Linux hosting so it can be used to log in over SSH/SFTP.

Inputs: public_key (required), domain_name (required).

combell_ssh_keys_deleteA

Destructive

Remove an SSH public key (by fingerprint) from a Linux hosting. SIDE EFFECT: that key can no longer log in.

Inputs: domain_name (required), fingerprint (required).

combell_ssh_keys_listA

Read-onlyIdempotent

List the SSH public keys attached to a Linux hosting.

Inputs: domain_name (required).

combell_ssh_keys_list_allA

Read-onlyIdempotent

List every SSH public key on your Combell account, with the Linux hostings each key is attached to.

Inputs: skip, take.

combell_ssh_set_enabledB

Idempotent

Enable or disable SSH access on a Linux hosting.

Inputs: enabled (required), domain_name (required).

combell_ssl_certificate_requests_createA

Order an SSL certificate from a certificate signing request (CSR). SIDE EFFECT: this purchases a paying product at your contract's (non-promotional) price. The CSR subject must contain CN, C, ST, L, O and E, and all SANs. After creation, complete the domain validations listed by combell_ssl_certificate_requests_get and then call combell_ssl_certificate_requests_verify.

Inputs: csr (required), certificate_type (required), validation_level (required), additional_validation_attributes.

combell_ssl_certificate_requests_getA

Read-onlyIdempotent

Get an SSL certificate request. While ongoing it returns the domain validations to complete (DNS CNAME, file upload or e-mail) and a short-lived provider portal URL. When the certificate has been issued the result reports status 'completed' with the certificate location (HTTP 303); when the request no longer exists without a certificate it reports 'gone' (HTTP 410).

Inputs: id (required).

combell_ssl_certificate_requests_listA

Read-onlyIdempotent

List the pending SSL certificate requests (orders that are not issued yet).

Inputs: skip, take.

combell_ssl_certificate_requests_verifyA

Ask Combell to verify the domain validations of a certificate request once every non auto-validated value is in place. Calling it once is enough; verification takes some time. Reports 'completed' (303) or 'gone' (410) like the get tool.

Inputs: id (required).

combell_ssl_certificates_getA

Read-onlyIdempotent

Get an SSL certificate by its SHA-1 fingerprint, including its subject alternative names.

Inputs: sha1_fingerprint (required).

combell_ssl_certificates_listA

Read-onlyIdempotent

List the (paid) SSL certificates on your Combell account with common name, expiry, type and validation level. Let's Encrypt certificates are managed per hosting instead.

Inputs: skip, take.

combell_windows_hostings_getA

Read-onlyIdempotent

Get the details of a Windows hosting: webspace size and usage, IP, FTP username, application pool (.NET runtimes), sites with bindings and MSSQL database names.

Inputs: domain_name (required).

combell_windows_hostings_listB

Read-onlyIdempotent

List the Windows hosting accounts (by domain name) on your Combell account.

Inputs: skip, take.

TDQS

B3.4/5.0

Scored 2026-09-18 15:10 across 74 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Every tool targets a distinct resource-action pair (e.g., mailboxes vs. mail zones, MySQL databases vs. users, SSL certificates vs. requests). Descriptions clearly differentiate similar-sounding tools like subsites vs. host headers, and FTP vs. SSH access. No two tools appear to perform the same operation.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent pattern: combell_<resource>_<action> with snake_case verbs like list, get, create, update, delete, set. Even subresources are nested predictably (e.g., combell_dns_records_create, combell_mail_zones_aliases_update). The only minor deviation is combell_ssh_keys_list_all vs combell_ssh_keys_list, but this is still clear.

Tool Count2/5

With 74 tools, the server is severely over-scoped for an MCP server. While each tool is specific, the sheer volume makes discovery and selection difficult, and exceeds the typical range (3-15 tools) by a wide margin. The broad domain justifies some complexity, but this count is unwieldy.

Completeness4/5

The tool set covers comprehensive CRUD and lifecycle operations for domains, DNS, mail, MySQL, SSL, and hosting (Linux and Windows). Notable gaps include no direct update for mailbox quotas, no domain deletion, and limited Windows hosting management beyond list/get, but these are minor and do not block core workflows.
