1Panel MCP Server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for 1Panel.
1Panel MCP Server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for 1Panel. The mcp 1panel mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 12 defined tools rather than through you.
Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
get_dashboard_info — Systemget_system_info — Systemlist_websites — Websitecreate_website — Websitelist_ssls — Certificatecreate_ssl — Certificatelist_installed_apps — Applicationinstall_openresty — Applicationinstall_mysql — Applicationlist_databases — Databasecreate_database — DatabasePrerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverYou will need 3 environment variables: PANEL_ACCESS_TOKEN, PANEL_HOST, MCP_AUTH_TOKEN. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Among the database access options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. MCP 1panel's toolset — get_dashboard_info, get_system_info, list_websites and 9 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by 1Panel-dev; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against MCP 1panel's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
