mcp-1panel

1Panel MCP Server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for 1Panel.

• Go 1.25.0 or higher
• Existing 1Panel

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/1Panel-dev/mcp-1panel.git
   cd mcp-1panel

2. Build the project:

   make build

   Move ./build/mcp-1panel to the system environment path.

go install github.com/1Panel-dev/mcp-1panel@latest

Cursor and Windsurf configuration example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-1panel": {
      "command": "mcp-1panel",
      "env": {
        "PANEL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<your 1Panel access token>",
        "PANEL_HOST": "such as http://localhost:8080"
      }
    }
  }
}

start mcp server through sse

MCP_AUTH_TOKEN=<strong random MCP token> \
PANEL_HOST=<your 1Panel access address> \
PANEL_ACCESS_TOKEN=<your 1Panel access token> \
mcp-1panel -transport sse -addr "http://127.0.0.1:8000/sse"

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-1panel": {
        "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/sse",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer <strong random MCP token>"
        }
    }
  }
}

HTTP transports (sse and streamable-http) require an MCP authentication token by default. Use stdio for local desktop clients when possible. HTTP transports listen on loopback addresses only by default. If you expose an HTTP transport beyond loopback with -allow-remote-http, terminate TLS at a trusted reverse proxy and set an explicit Origin allowlist.

• -token: 1Panel access token; prefer PANEL_ACCESS_TOKEN to avoid exposing secrets in process lists
• -host: 1Panel access address; prefer PANEL_HOST for environment-based configuration
• -transport: Transport type (stdio, sse, or streamable-http; default: stdio)
• -addr: Base URL for HTTP transports (default: http://127.0.0.1:8000)
• -mcp-token: MCP HTTP authentication token for HTTP transports
• -allowed-origins: Comma-separated Origin allowlist for HTTP transports
• -allow-insecure-http: Allow unauthenticated HTTP transports; only use for local development
• -allow-remote-http: Allow HTTP transports to listen on non-loopback addresses; only use behind TLS

You can also configure the server using environment variables:

• PANEL_HOST: 1Panel access address
• PANEL_ACCESS_TOKEN: 1Panel access token
• MCP_AUTH_TOKEN: MCP HTTP authentication token for sse and streamable-http

The server provides various tools for interacting with 1Panel:
