| Client coverage | ||
| Client coverage details | Not documented | Claude Code✓ Local stdio Claude Desktop✓ Local stdio Codex✓ Local stdio VS Code✓ Local stdio Cursor✓ Local stdio OpenCode✓ Local stdio |
| Client coverage note | Local stdio runs on your computer. Streamable HTTP connects to a remotely hosted MCP server. | |
| Access and data | ||
| Authentication | Hosted: OAuth. Local: Hostinger API token. | HCP Terraform/TFE API tokens; remote client may pass per-user TFE_TOKEN |
| Cost | Hostinger products and infrastructure remain billable; MCP access does not make hosting services free. | HCP/TFE/run costs may apply |
| Permissions | The MCP can perform real account/infrastructure actions within the authorized Hostinger account; product areas can be enabled/disabled and token/account authority matters. | HCP Terraform/TFE RBAC |
| Data handling | Hostinger account/resource data transits the hosted/local MCP and connected AI client; hosted mode is operated by Hostinger. | registry/HCP/TFE data may reach connected MCP client/LLM |
| Limitations | ||
| Tradeoffs |
|
|
| Risk context | Infrastructure, DNS and billing actions create a high-impact permission surface that needs stronger Recommended-grade safeguards. | stdio/localhost defaults; strict CORS; TLS verify on; rate limits; ENABLE_TF_OPERATIONS=false by default |
