Introduction

Connecting Cursor to your HostArmada account takes a few minutes. Once it's connected, you can check your invoices, hosting services, domains, and support tickets from Cursor's Agent chat while you work. For example, you can open a support ticket about a site issue without leaving your editor, and approve every change before it happens.

Before you start

You need three things:

• An active HostArmada service. The MCP server is free with any active hosting plan.
• Cursor, installed and signed in. You can download it from cursor.com.
• The HostArmada server URL: https://mcp.hostarmada.com/. You'll also find it, with a Copy button, in your HostArmada client area under Tools > MCP Server.

You'll paste a few short lines into a Cursor settings file. We show you exactly what to paste and where.

Step 1: Add the HostArmada connector to Cursor

1. Open Cursor.
2. Open Customize in the sidebar and go to the MCPs section. In older versions of Cursor, go to Cursor Settings > Tools & MCP instead.
3. Click New MCP Server (or the option to add a custom MCP server).
   
   
   
   
4. Cursor will open a settings file called mcp.json. If the file is empty, paste this into it:

   {

     "mcpServers": {

       "hostarmada": {

         "url": "https://mcp.hostarmada.com/"

       }

     }

   }
   
   
   
   

5. If the file already lists other servers, add only the "hostarmada" entry inside the existing "mcpServers" section, and put a comma between it and the entry before it.
6. Save the file with Cmd+S on Mac or Ctrl+S on Windows and Linux.

The HostArmada connector will now appear in the MCP list in Customize. You don't need an API key or password in this file. You'll sign in through your browser in the next step.

Step 2: Sign in with your HostArmada account

1. In Customize, find the HostArmada connector in the MCP list. It shows that you can sign in.
2. Click Authenticate.
   
   
   
   
3. Your browser opens a HostArmada sign-in page. Sign in with your email and password.
   
   
   
   
4. Review the access Cursor is asking for, then approve it by clicking Allow access.
   
   
   
   
5. Return to Cursor. The HostArmada connector now shows as connected, with its tools listed.
   
   
   
   

Note: Cursor never sees your HostArmada password. You sign in on HostArmada's own page, and Cursor keeps you signed in.

Step 3: Use it in Agent chat

1. Open the Agent chat in Cursor.
2. Send your first request: “Give me an overview of my HostArmada account.”

Cursor uses the HostArmada connector automatically when your request is about your HostArmada account. If it doesn't, add "Use the HostArmada connector" to your request.

After processing your request, Cursor will reply with your profile, credit balance, active services and domains, unpaid or overdue invoices, and open tickets.

All projects or one project

Cursor keeps MCP settings in two places:

If you use the project file and share your project with others, for example on GitHub, they'll see the HostArmada entry. That's safe because the file only holds the server URL, not a password. Each person still has to sign in with their own HostArmada account.

Cloud Agents

If you use Cursor's Cloud Agents, they keep their own sign-ins on Cursor's servers. You may need to sign in to the HostArmada connector once more for Cloud Agents, from its Cloud row in Customize.

Disconnecting

To pause the HostArmada connector, open Customize, find it in the MCP list, and switch it off. Cursor stops loading it until you switch it back on.

To remove it completely, remove it from the MCP list in Customize, or delete the "hostarmada" entry from your mcp.json file and save. You can add it again at any time.
