1Panel-dev/mcp-1panel

1Panel MCP Server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for 1Panel.
Installation
Prerequisites
- Go 1.25.0 or higher
- Existing 1Panel
Build from Source
1. Clone the repository:
2. Build the project:
Move ./build/mcp-1panel to the system environment path.
Install using go install
Usage
**Cursor** and **Windsurf** configuration example:
stdio mode
Streamable HTTP with standalone TLS
mcp-1panel can create and persist its own local CA and HTTPS server certificate. It does not depend on 1Panel certificate management.
On first startup, the server writes the CA path and SHA-256 fingerprint to stderr. Configure the MCP client to trust the generated ca.crt; do not disable certificate verification. The CA is reused while the server certificate is renewed automatically.
HTTP transports require an MCP authentication token by default. Clients must send it on every request as Authorization: Bearer ; the private X-MCP-Token header is not accepted. This is a pre-shared token mode intended for a single-user/private deployment, not the MCP OAuth authorization flow. Put the server behind an OAuth-capable gateway when standards-based multi-user authorization is required.
Use stdio for local desktop clients when possible. Non-loopback listeners require an https:// address, -allow-remote-http, a token, explicit certificate SANs, and an appropriate Origin allowlist.
Access levels
The server defaults to readonly. Tool permissions are enforced when tools are registered, so disallowed tools are not returned by tools/list and cannot be called directly.
| Level | Tools |
|---|---|
| readonly | Queries, lists, and status reads |
| readwrite | readonly plus existing website, certificate, and database creation tools |
| full | readwrite plus existing application installation tools |
Set the level with -access-level or MCP_ACCESS_LEVEL. Command-line configuration takes precedence.
Command Line Options
- -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 or streamable-http; default: stdio)
- -addr: Base URL for HTTP transports (default: http://127.0.0.1:8000)
- -mcp-token: Pre-shared Bearer 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 HTTPS transports to listen on non-loopback addresses
- -access-level: Tool access level (readonly, readwrite, or full; default: readonly)
- -tls-dir: Directory for the local CA and HTTPS server certificate
- -tls-hosts: Comma-separated DNS names and IP addresses for the HTTPS server certificate
