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:

   git clone https://github.com/1Panel-dev/mcp-1panel.git
   cd mcp-1panel

1. Build the project:

   make build

Move ./build/mcp-1panel to the system environment path.

Install using go install

   go install github.com/1Panel-dev/mcp-1panel@latest

Usage

Cursor and Windsurf configuration example:

stdio mode

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-1panel": {
      "command": "mcp-1panel",
      "env": {
        "PANEL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<your 1Panel access token>",
        "PANEL_HOST": "such as http://localhost:8080"
      }
    }
  }
}

sse mode

start mcp server through sse

MCP_AUTH_TOKEN=<strong random MCP token> \
PANEL_HOST=<your 1Panel access address> \
PANEL_ACCESS_TOKEN=<your 1Panel access token> \
mcp-1panel -transport sse -addr "http://127.0.0.1:8000/sse"

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-1panel": {
        "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8000/sse",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer <strong random MCP token>"
        }
    }
  }
}

HTTP transports (sse and streamable-http) require an MCP authentication token by default. Use stdio for local desktop clients when possible. HTTP transports listen on loopback addresses only by default. If you expose an HTTP transport beyond loopback with -allow-remote-http, terminate TLS at a trusted reverse proxy and set an explicit Origin allowlist.

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, sse, or streamable-http; default: stdio)
• -addr: Base URL for HTTP transports (default: http://127.0.0.1:8000)
• -mcp-token: MCP HTTP authentication 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 HTTP transports to listen on non-loopback addresses; only use behind TLS

Environment Variables

You can also configure the server using environment variables:

• PANEL_HOST: 1Panel access address
• PANEL_ACCESS_TOKEN: 1Panel access token
• MCP_AUTH_TOKEN: MCP HTTP authentication token for sse and streamable-http
