easypanel-mcp
MCP server for EasyPanel — manage your server, projects, services, databases, and domains through any MCP-compatible AI agent (Claude, Cursor, etc.).
42 curated tools + raw tRPC access to all 347 EasyPanel API procedures.
🚀 Quick Setup (Deploy on EasyPanel)
The easiest way — deploy the MCP server as a service on your own EasyPanel. Pick an auth mode:
- OAuth (recommended) — users sign in with their Easypanel email/password in a browser popup. No tokens to generate or paste. Per-user access.
- Bearer — one shared API key + one Easypanel token baked into env vars.
MCP_API_KEYis required: the server refuses to start without it.
OAuth mode (browser sign-in, per-user)
- Create a project (e.g.
mcp), add an App service from GitHubdray-supadev/easypanel-mcp - Add a domain (e.g.
mcp.your-domain.com) - Set environment variables:
EASYPANEL_URL=http://easypanel:3000 EASYPANEL_MCP_MODE=http EASYPANEL_AUTH_MODE=oauth OAUTH_ISSUER_URL=https://mcp.your-domain.com MCP_ACCESS_MODE=readonly PORT=3000EASYPANEL_AUTH_MODE=oauthis what makesMCP_API_KEYunnecessary here. In the default bearer mode an HTTP deployment requiresMCP_API_KEYand the server refuses to start without it. - (Optional but recommended) Mount a volume at
/dataand setOAUTH_STORE_PATH=/data/oauth.jsonso tokens survive redeploys. - Deploy.
Connect Claude Desktop or another OAuth-aware MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"easypanel": { "url": "https://mcp.your-domain.com/mcp" }
}
}
On first use the client will pop a browser window asking for your Easypanel credentials, then return you to Claude with an access token. No manual curl required.
The login page calls Easypanel's
auth.logininternally and binds the session token to an opaque OAuth access token scoped to this MCP server. Credentials are never stored.
Bearer mode (shared key, simpler)
-
Get your API token:
curl -X POST https://YOUR_PANEL:3000/api/trpc/auth.login \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"json":{"email":"you@email.com","password":"your-pass"}}'If you have 2FA enabled, add
"code":"123456"with your authenticator code.The response contains
"token":"xxx"— that's your API token.⚠️ This is a session token that expires in 30 days. For a permanent token, use
users.generateApiToken(see below). -
Deploy on EasyPanel:
EASYPANEL_URL=http://easypanel:3000 EASYPANEL_TOKEN=your-api-token EASYPANEL_MCP_MODE=http MCP_API_KEY=your-secret-key MCP_ACCESS_MODE=readonly PORT=3000Important: Use
http://easypanel:3000(internal Docker network) when deploying on the same EasyPanel instance.MCP_ACCESS_MODE:readonlyrejects every tool call that would mutate your panel — including mutating procedures called throughtrpc_raw— and allows read-only calls through. Set tofullto allow mutations. ⚠️MCP_API_KEYis required in HTTP bearer mode — the server exits at startup if it is unset, rather than serving every tool unauthenticated. Use alphanumeric only (!,%,^may break in env vars). -
Connect Claude Desktop:
{ "mcpServers": { "easypanel": { "url": "https://mcp.your-domain.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer your-secret-key" } } } }
Restart Claude Desktop. Done! Ask Claude to "show my projects" 🎉
💻 Local Setup (Alternative)
Run the MCP server locally via stdio (no deployment needed):
git clone https://github.com/dray-supadev/easypanel-mcp.git
cd easypanel-mcp
npm install && npm run build
{
"mcpServers": {
"easypanel": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/easypanel-mcp/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"EASYPANEL_URL": "https://your-panel:3000",
"EASYPANEL_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
}
}
}
}

🔒 Security
- OAuth mode — per-user access via browser sign-in; the MCP server acts as an OAuth 2.1 authorization server (PKCE required, dynamic client registration per RFC 7591). Access tokens are opaque and bound to the user's Easypanel session token server-side; credentials never leave this server in stored form.
- Bearer mode —
MCP_API_KEYprotects the endpoint and is mandatory (the server refuses to start without it),EASYPANEL_TOKENis used for all API calls. - Health endpoint (
/health) is always public (returns no sensitive data). - In local/stdio mode, no network auth is needed.
Environment Variables
| Variable | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
EASYPANEL_URL |
✅ | Your EasyPanel URL |
EASYPANEL_TOKEN |
Bearer/stdio | API token from login (not needed in OAuth mode) |

For HTTP | stdio (default) or http |

OAuth Endpoints
When EASYPANEL_AUTH_MODE=oauth, the server exposes:
GET /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server— RFC 8414 metadataGET /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource— RFC 9728 metadataPOST /register— RFC 7591 dynamic client registrationGET /authorize— login pagePOST /authorize— credentials → authorization code (302 redirect to client)POST /token—authorization_codeandrefresh_tokengrants (S256 PKCE required)
Generating a Permanent API Token
Session tokens from auth.login expire in 30 days. For a permanent token:
Step 1. Get your user ID:
curl -s "https://YOUR_PANEL:3000/api/trpc/users.listUsers" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SESSION_TOKEN"
Find your email in the response and copy the "id" field.
Step 2. Generate the permanent token:
curl -s -X POST "https://YOUR_PANEL:3000/api/trpc/users.generateApiToken" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SESSION_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"json":{"id":"YOUR_USER_ID"}}'
Step 3. Retrieve the token — list users again:
curl -s "https://YOUR_PANEL:3000/api/trpc/users.listUsers" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SESSION_TOKEN"
Your user now has an "apiToken" field — that's the permanent token. Set it as EASYPANEL_TOKEN in your MCP service env.
This token never expires unless you revoke it via
users.revokeApiToken.
How It Works
EasyPanel exposes a tRPC API at /api/trpc/. This MCP server was built by reverse-engineering EasyPanel's frontend to extract all 347 procedure names across 43 namespaces, then mapping the most useful ones to typed MCP tools.
