Hostinger Agent Skills

Supercharge Claude Code with Hostinger API skills across 6 core service domains.

Why Hostinger Agent Skills?

Managing Hostinger services programmatically spans billing, domains, DNS, hosting, email marketing, and VPS infrastructure.

Hostinger Agent Skills equips Claude Code (and Codex) with deep expertise across all Hostinger API domains, enabling automated infrastructure management from domain registration to VPS deployment and Docker orchestration.

Why not just use an MCP?

Hostinger offers an official MCP server, which is great for live API calls. Hostinger Agent Skills complements it by providing a curated, LLM-optimized knowledge base with real-world patterns, best practices, and troubleshooting guides — without streaming large API docs or schemas. Because the skills are local and pre-compressed, they are far more token efficient and keep the context window small and predictable.

Usage Examples

Domain Management

Ask Claude to help with domains:

• "Check if example.com is available"
• "Register a new .com domain"
• "Set up domain forwarding from old-site.com to new-site.com"

VPS Operations

• "Create a new VPS with Ubuntu"
• "Deploy a Docker Compose project on my VPS"
• "Configure a firewall to allow only SSH and HTTP"

DNS Configuration

• "Add an A record pointing www to 1.2.3.4"
• "Set up SPF and DKIM records for email"
• "Restore DNS from a previous snapshot"

Hosting Setup

• "Create a new website on my hosting plan"
• "Generate a free subdomain for testing"
• "List all my hosting orders"

Skill Structure

Each skill contains:

• SKILL.md - Core concepts, common patterns (curl + Python SDK), API reference, best practices, troubleshooting

Skills include metadata showing when content was last updated, so you always know how current the information is.

API Authentication

All Hostinger API requests require a bearer token:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN

Create tokens at: hPanel API Settings

Using with Claude Code

Set your token as an environment variable so it stays out of the conversation history:

export HOSTINGER_API_TOKEN="your-api-token"

For persistence, add it to your shell profile (~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc) or use a .env file (make sure it's in .gitignore).

Never paste API tokens directly into the chat — use $HOSTINGER_API_TOKEN in commands instead. If a token is accidentally exposed, rotate it immediately at hPanel.
