set_api_key | Set your BorealHost API key for this session.
Call this if you already have an API key (from checkout completion,
the BorealHost panel, or a container claim). All subsequent tool calls
will use this key for authentication.
Args:
api_key: Your BorealHost API key (format: bh_<48 hex chars>)
Returns:
{"success": true, "message": "API key set for this session",
"key_prefix": "bh_..."}
params: api_key* |
whoami | Check the current API key's account info, scopes, and site count.
Requires: BOREALHOST_API_KEY env var (read scope).
Returns:
{"user": {"id": "uuid", "email": "...", "date_joined": "iso8601"},

"scopes": ["read", "write"], "created_at": "iso8601"},
"account": {"sites": 2, "active_subscriptions": 1}}
Error params: none |
request_api_key | Request an API key for a site YOU ARE RUNNING ON (challenge-response).
⚠ ONLY USE THIS IF YOU ARE EXECUTING INSIDE THAT SITE'S OWN CONTAINER. If
you bought or ordered the site from somewhere else, this is the wrong tool:
it returns "pending" and the pending never resolves, because the proof it
asks for is a file you cannot reach. Use `get_checkout_status(checkout_id)`
on the checkout that paid fo params: site_slug* |
claim_api_key | Claim an API key using a claim token from the container.
After calling request_api_key(), read the claim token from the path that
call returned in `claim_path`, on that site's container, and pass it here.
The token is single-use — once claimed, it cannot be used again.
The API key is automatically activated for this MCP session.
Args:
claim_token: The claim token string read from the contai params: claim_token* |
list_plans | List available hosting plans with pricing and resources.
No authentication needed.
Args:
track: Filter by plan track. Valid values: "single_site", "agency".
⚠ The track is not the site count — most plans on BOTH tracks
include several sites (site_starter 5, site_plus 8, site_pro 12).
Read `max_sites` on the plan, and use add_site() to fill a slot.
Leave emp params: track, include_deprecated |
create_checkout | Start a new checkout session to purchase a hosting plan.
No authentication needed. After creating, call update_checkout to set
buyer info, then complete_checkout to pay.
The response carries a `checkout_secret`, returned ONCE, that every later
step of this checkout requires. It is held in memory for this MCP session
and sent automatically — but it is gone if the server restarts. If a session
key params: sku* |
update_checkout | Set buyer email and desired site slug on a checkout session.
The checkout must be in "not_ready" status. Setting requested_slug
transitions status to "ready" (required before completing).
Args:
checkout_id: Checkout session ID from create_checkout
buyer_email: Optional email — if omitted, a synthetic agent identity
(agent-{uuid}@api.borealhost.ai) is created at completio params: checkout_id*, buyer_email, requested_slug, site_type |
complete_checkout | Complete checkout with payment and start site provisioning.
The checkout must be in "ready" status.
Two payment methods:
- "stripe_checkout" (default): Returns a short, chat-safe payment URL.
**Present `payment_url` to the human — NOT `stripe_checkout_url`.**
The raw Stripe URL has a required `#fragment` that chat UIs routinely
strip when rendering markdown links, which causes Stripe to sh params: checkout_id*, payment_method, payment_method_id |
get_checkout_status | Poll a checkout session for status updates.
Call this after complete_checkout to track payment and provisioning.
Polling strategy:
- First 60 seconds: every 5 seconds
- After 60 seconds: every 15 seconds
- Stop after 10 minutes if not completed

- "not_ready": Missing required fields (slug)
- "ready": All fields set, awaiting payment
- "awaiting_payment": Stripe che params: checkout_id* |
list_checkouts | List checkouts belonging to the authenticated account.
Requires: API key. Only checkouts with a recorded owner appear — every
checkout created while authenticated, plus every checkout that reached
payment. An anonymous checkout whose one-shot secret was lost cannot be
listed; create checkouts authenticated to keep them addressable.
Args:
status: Optional filter — "not_ready", "ready", "await params: status |
cancel_checkout | Abandon an unpaid checkout and expire its Stripe payment link.
Use this to clean up abandoned attempts rather than leaving them to sit.
A completed checkout is never cancelled here — that would be a refund, and
it is refused.
Args:
checkout_id: Checkout session ID
Returns:
The checkout, with status "canceled".
Errors:
VALIDATION_ERROR: Checkout was already paid — cancel the subscri params: checkout_id* |
add_site | Provision a site into a slot a plan you ALREADY PAY FOR includes.
Two different things can be meant by "create a site". Buying one is the
checkout flow (create_checkout → update → complete). This is the other: most
plans include several sites, and this uses one of them at no extra cost.
site_starter includes 5, site_plus 8, site_pro 12, and the agency plans
more. `whoami` and `list_sites` show wh params: slug*, subscription_id*, client_name, domain, site_type |
set_site_type | Change what a site's docroot IS, without deleting anything.
Types:
wordpress WordPress, PHP and a database (the default)
php PHP and a database, no WordPress
php-nodb PHP, no database
static-site HTML/CSS/JS only, no PHP and no database
⚠ NON-DESTRUCTIVE. Existing files stay on disk and existing databases are
not dropped. They remain the customer's data and keep counting params: slug*, site_type* |
get_wallet | The account's prepaid balance, and what THIS key may spend from it.
Two ceilings, and both apply: the balance bounds the ACCOUNT, the allowance
bounds this KEY within it. Plan against `spendable_cents`, which is the
lower of the two — a $50 balance behind a $5 allowance means $5, and
planning against the balance is planning a purchase that gets refused.
`can_spend: false` with a non-zero balance params: none |

add_port_forward | Publish a container port on the node's public IP (TCP or UDP).
This is how inbound UDP reaches a container. There is no other way: the
container's own address is private, and the IP allow/deny rules of
add_firewall_rule cannot route anything.
PORT PRESERVATION MATTERS. Leave external_port at 0 and a port is allocated
from 10000-19999 — your service becomes reachable, but on a DIFFERENT

add_subdomain | Create and route a subdomain of a site-linked domain.
Creates the DNS A record (if absent) pointing at the site's server,
then configures the nginx vhost and SSL certificate on that server.

Idempotent: if the DNS record already exists and points at the site's
server, the nginx/SSL steps are (re)applied — safe to re-call, e.g. to

delete_subdomain | Remove a subdomain: its DNS record, nginx vhost and certificate.
The inverse of add_subdomain. Removes the DNS record AND the server-side
vhost and cert, so the name stops resolving and stops being served. Nothing
else on the domain is touched.

subdomain: Subdomain label only, params: domain_name*, subdomain* |
link_domain | Link a domain to a hosted site.
Attaches the domain to the specified site and triggers automatic
DNS configuration and SSL provisioning.

get_site_nginx_snippet | Read the custom nginx config for a domain on the BorealHost host proxy.
Your site sits behind a BorealHost reverse proxy that terminates TLS and

Use this when configuring your container's own nginx is not enough because
something in front of it is interfering. The host proxy sits between the
internet and your container, and by default its catch-all `location /` does

set_domain_usage | Set what a registered domain points at — a site, someone else's
nameservers, our DNS with no site, or a redirect to another URL.
Use this to park a domain, hand it to an external host, or forward it.
Switching modes tears down the previous one (a forwarded domain that
becomes a site domain loses its redirect, and vice versa).

"family": "linux", "flavour": "ubuntu"}, ...]}
params: none |
launch_compute_instance | Launch an on-demand hourly compute instance (Canada, CAD).
Billing starts at launch (per minute, 1-hour minimum) and runs until
terminate_compute_instance — stopping does NOT stop the charge. Every
instance has a hard TTL
(max_lifetime_hours, default 72h) after which it is auto-terminated.
Usage is metered onto your existing BorealHost subscription; an active
subscription is required.
Requires: params: instance_type*, image_id*, name, ssh_public_key, user_data, root_disk_size, storage_type, max_lifetime_hours |
list_compute_instances | List your on-demand compute instances with month-to-date spend.

params: include_terminated |
get_compute_instance | Get live details for a compute instance (state, public IP, accrued cost).

stop_compute_instance | Stop a compute instance. WARNING: hourly billing continues while stopped.
Use terminate_compute_instance to stop the charges permanently.
Requires: API key with write scope.
params: instance_id* |
reboot_compute_instance | Reboot a running compute instance.
Requires: API key with write scope.
params: instance_id* |
terminate_compute_instance | Permanently terminate a compute instance — this stops hourly billing.
The instance and its disk are destroyed and cannot be recovered. Copy any
results off the instance before terminating.
Requires: API key with write scope.
Returns:
Final instance dict with state "terminated" and total accrued_cad.
params: instance_id* |
list_compute_volumes | List your compute volumes — machines that survive instance termination.
A volume is a whole machine (packages, drivers, services, users, data)
stored in Canada. Detaching destroys the instance but keeps the machine;
attaching restores it onto a fresh instance, optionally of a DIFFERENT
type. That is how you move a workload from a small CPU box to a big GPU
box without rebuilding it.
Requires: AP params: none |
get_compute_volume | Get a volume's live state, its instance, and its monthly storage cost.
Requires: API key with read scope.
Returns:
Volume dict plus "monthly_storage_cad". After attach, poll this until
instance.state is "running" — then allow a few more minutes for the
restore to finish and the machine to reboot into itself.
params: volume_id* |
create_compute_volume | Create a persistent machine and boot its first instance.
Start here, then set the machine up however you like (install packages,
drivers, models). Everything you do becomes part of the volume the first
time you detach or snapshot it.
While attached you pay hourly compute; while detached you pay only for
stored bytes (CA$0.03/GB/month). Stopping an instance does NOT save money
on this provider — params: name*, image_id*, instance_type*, ssh_public_key*, root_disk_size |
adopt_compute_instance | Turn an instance you are ALREADY running into a persistent volume.
Use this when you launched something, set it up, and then decided you want
to keep it. Nothing reboots and no data moves — the machine you have
becomes the volume, and you can detach it afterwards to stop paying for
compute while keeping the machine. Beats creating a volume and rebuilding.
Only instances launched with an ssh_publ params: instance_id*, name |
detach_compute_volume | Queue: snapshot the machine, verify it, then destroy the instance.
This is how you stop paying for compute while keeping your work.
ASYNCHRONOUS. Returns immediately with state "detaching" — it does NOT mean
the detach finished. The capture takes minutes (roughly 1 min per 10 GB plus
verification), so it runs in a background worker. Poll get_compute_volume
until state is "detached" (done) or "er params: volume_id* |
attach_compute_volume | Restore a detached volume onto a fresh instance — optionally a new type.
Pass a different instance_type to move the same machine to different
hardware: this is the closest thing to changing instance type that the
provider allows, since it has no resize API at all.
The restore runs at first boot and the machine reboots into itself, so the
instance answers SSH BEFORE it is ready. Poll get_compute_ params: volume_id*, ssh_public_key*, instance_type, root_disk_size |
snapshot_compute_volume | Queue a checkpoint snapshot without detaching — before a risky change.
ASYNCHRONOUS. Returns immediately with state "snapshotting"; poll
get_compute_volume until it is back to "attached" (done) or "error".
Named systemd units are stopped for the capture so the snapshot is
application-consistent (a live database directory copied mid-write is not
reliably restorable). The worker restarts nothing — params: volume_id*, quiesce_units |
delete_compute_volume | Permanently delete a volume and everything stored in it.
Irreversible: the instance is released AND the stored data is purged from
object storage, so billing genuinely stops. Refuses while an instance is
live unless force=True, so a running machine's only copy cannot be
destroyed by reflex.
Requires: API key with admin scope.
Returns:
{"id", "state": "deleted"}
params: volume_id*, force |
container_action | Start, stop, or restart a site's container.
Only for plans with a dedicated container (VPS / split-VPS / dedicated).
