MCP server for AI: connect Claude, ChatGPT or Mistral to your hosting package

The MCP server for AI is a connection between your hosting package and your own AI tool. You connect Claude, ChatGPT, Mistral Vibe (formerly Le Chat), Claude Code or Codex to your package once, and after that the AI can work directly in your website's files: reading, editing, publishing new pages and viewing your site's error messages. You describe in plain language what needs to happen, and the AI carries it out on your hosting. No FTP, no copying and pasting.

The connection is free with WebHost Two, Power Webhost Three and Power Webhost Four.

What can the AI do with the connection?

Once connected, your AI tool gets a set of commands (tools) that only work within the /domains folder of your hosting package, so only in your websites:

• retrieve your packages and domains;
• view and read folders and files;
• write, make targeted edits to, rename and delete files, and create folders (with write permissions only);
• search by file name or folder name;
• read the last lines of a domain's error log, handy when a page shows an error message.
• retrieve the status of your package (read only): PHP version and PHP settings, databases (names and host, never passwords), WordPress and plugins via the Website Manager, certificate and an http check, DNS zone, usage and storage, the backup list and outages. A token restricted to specific packages only sees those packages.

Writing, renaming and deleting is possible anywhere within the domain's folder; only the fixed DirectAdmin folders themselves (such as public_html) cannot be renamed or deleted. The contents of databases, mailboxes and the DirectAdmin settings are not accessible via the connection; for databases, only the names are visible.

Which packages?

The MCP server for AI is included for free with WebHost Two, Power Webhost Three and Power Webhost Four. If you have WebHost One, the MCP page shows a notice with the option to upgrade. Only the account owner can create connections; additional users on your account cannot.

Opening the MCP page

1. Log in at my.weboke.nl.
2. Go to My Administration and click MCP server for AI. You can also go directly to my.weboke.nl/mijnmcpserver.

At the top of the page you'll find the connection address: https://my.weboke.nl/mcp. You enter that address in your AI tool. Below it are the steps for each AI tool, your active connections and the recent activity.

Connecting with Claude, ChatGPT or Mistral Vibe

You connect these three tools via their own settings. They then send you to our consent screen, where you choose what the AI is allowed to do.

1. Claude (claude.ai): go to Customize, Connectors, and choose Add custom connector. Enter https://my.weboke.nl/mcp as the address. This works in claude.ai, Claude Desktop and Cowork.
2. ChatGPT: first enable Developer mode via Settings, Security and login. Then go to Settings, Plugins, click the plus button and paste the same address. Then enable the plugin per conversation via the plus button in the chat. Full use requires a ChatGPT Business or Enterprise subscription; with Plus or Pro the AI can only read.
3. Mistral Vibe (formerly Le Chat): go to Connectors in the left menu, click Add Connector and choose the Custom MCP Connector tab. Paste the address there.
4. The tool opens our consent screen. Log in if needed, then choose the hosting package, the permissions (read only by default) and how long the connection remains valid.
5. Confirm with your password and your two-factor code. The screen then sends you back to the AI tool and the connection is ready.

You don't need to copy a token yourself: the tool and our server handle that between them.

Connecting with Claude Code or Codex

You connect Claude Code and Codex without a token:

• Claude Code: run the claude mcp add command from the MCP page, start Claude Code, type /mcp, choose weboke and log in.
• Codex: put the configuration snippet from the MCP page in ~/.codex/config.toml. Codex asks you to log in the first time you use it.

You'll then see the same consent screen as above. If you use another command line tool that can't log in by itself, create a token:

1. On the MCP page, go to New token. Give the token a name (for example the name of your laptop), and choose the package, the permissions and the validity.
2. Confirm with your password and two-factor code. The token appears on screen only once; copy it right away. You'll also receive an email letting you know a connection has been created.
3. Paste the token into your tool, together with the address https://my.weboke.nl/mcp. At the bottom of the MCP page you'll find an example of such a manual configuration.

Lost it? Revoke the old token and create a new one. A token you can no longer see is one we can't show you again either.

Permissions, validity and revoking

• Read only is the default. The AI can then view files and read the error log, but can't change anything. Ideal for getting started.
• Read and write also lets the AI edit, upload, rename and delete files within your website folders.
• Every connection has an end date. After that it automatically stops working, and you can create a new one if needed.
• Revoking takes one click in the list of connections. The AI tool then loses access immediately.
• Under Recent activity you can see, for 90 days, which connection did what.

What happens to deleted files?

If the AI deletes a file, we first place a copy in the .mcp-prullenbak folder in the domain's folder (for files up to 5 MB). That folder sits outside your website and is not publicly accessible. This way you can undo a mistake. If the AI deletes an entire folder, however, it is gone immediately. So for bigger changes, make a backup first: with WebOké Backups you can restore any day from the past 30 days.

Tips for working safely

• Start with read only permissions and have the AI first explain what it finds.
• Use a separate connection for each tool and each device, so you can revoke one without affecting the rest.
• Ask the AI to show you a change before it writes it, and check your website in the browser afterwards.
• Right before a big change, make an extra backup with the Create new backup now button in WebOké Backups.
• Never share a token with others. A token is a key to your website.

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost?
Nothing. The connection is included with WebHost Two and higher. If usage turns out to be much higher than we expect, we may limit free usage; we'll announce that well in advance.

Can the AI also access my database or mail?
No. The connection only works in your websites' files. Databases, mailboxes and DirectAdmin settings are not accessible.

Which AI tools work?
Anything that supports the MCP protocol. The MCP page has steps for Claude, ChatGPT, Mistral Vibe, Claude Code and Codex. You connect other tools with a token and the address https://my.weboke.nl/mcp.

I'm getting an error message saying there are too many requests.
We limit the number of simultaneous commands per connection to keep your server fast. Wait a few seconds and try again.

Where can I see what the AI has done?
Under Recent activity on the MCP page, per connection and per command.
