Can AI agents automate Hetzner Cloud?
Hetzner · saas · platformdeveloper-tools
Hetzner Cloud is automatable today through the Hetzner Cloud API and the official hcloud CLI. This record is Hetzner Cloud: servers, volumes, firewalls, networks, and load balancers on api.hetzner.cloud. It is not Hetzner Robot and not Hetzner Storage Box, and it is not DigitalOcean, AWS, or Google Cloud. Project API tokens are created in the Hetzner Console with Read or Read & Write permission. Requests send Authorization Bearer to https://api.hetzner.cloud/v1. Read tokens are limited to GET. Read & Write tokens may GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. The API overview names official Go and Python libraries and the hcloud CLI. hcloud defaults to https://api.hetzner.cloud/v1 and also has Storage Box commands against https://api.hetzner.com/v1, which are outside this record. The global options opened here do not include a JSON output flag. No Hetzner page opened in this pass declares an official MCP server or says that Hetzner does not provide one, so first-party MCP stays unknown. Two maintained third-party servers were opened. lazyants/hetzner-mcp-server says it exposes 185 tools for the Cloud API and was pushed on 2026-10-12. mjmirza/hetzner-mcp says it is not affiliated with Hetzner Online GmbH, covers Cloud plus Robot and Storage Box, and was pushed on 2026-10-11. Connector catalogs were not opened. Computer-use viability is unassessed. The API scores 8 and is the best path. The CLI scores 7. Third-party MCP scores 6.
Best path today: api · Overall automatability: 8/10
