Once configured, your IDE can retrieve hosting data and manage resources across Websites, WordPress, VPS, Domains (including DNS), Email Marketing, Subscriptions &amp; Payments, and Ecommerce &mdash; directly from your development environment. The extension is available on marketplaces and supports popular IDEs like Claude Code, Cursor, JetBrains, Devin Desktop (formerly Devin Desktop), and OpenAI Codex.<\/p><p>This guide will walk you through setting up Hostinger MCP server in Cursor IDEs.<\/p><h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\" id=\"h-set-up-mcp-using-hostinger-connector-extension-recommended\">Set up MCP using Hostinger Connector extension (recommended)<\/h2><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">The Hostinger Connector is an IDE extension that sets up the Hostinger MCP server in one click using OAuth &mdash; no API token generation, manual JSON editing, or copy-pasting required. The latest version introduces a redesigned UI with a clearer, more user-friendly experience, automatic Node.js installation check with a one-click install option if Node.js is missing, an MCP overview panel showing which MCPs are enabled or disabled with tooltips explaining each one, and a tool count display per MCP to help users stay within the recommended tool limit.<\/p><p>Each compatible WordPress website is now added as its own MCP. Instead of a single shared WordPress tool set, AI agents get site-specific tools scoped to each individual website, letting them manage each site&rsquo;s posts, pages, categories, tags, and media more deeply.<br>\nWhen you add a new website to your account, click <strong>Sync<\/strong> in the Connector panel to connect it with one click, without going through the full OAuth authentication flow again.<\/p><p>It includes a one-click link that opens your IDE directly to the Hostinger Connector extension page.<\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Available on:<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\">\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Visual Studio Code Marketplace<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Open VSX (Devin Desktop, Cursor, Google Antigravity)<\/li>\n<li>Managing WordPress sites in the Connector<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>Once connected, each compatible WordPress website on your account appears as its own separate MCP server in the Installed MCP servers list, rather than a single shared WordPress toggle.
