Question

How to connect cPanel/Plesk to MCP in WebPros Dashboard?

Answer

The WebPros Dashboard is available to everyone with a WebPros account, and MCP access is self-service.

Follow these steps in order to get MCP keys from Dashboard so they can be used with prefered AI tool to manage Plesk and cPanel.

1. Sign in to Dashboard

Sign in at dashboard.webpros.com with existing WebPros account or create a new one.

2. Create an MCP key

1. Log in to the WebPros Dashboard.
2. Go to Profile > MCP.
   
3. Press Add.
4. Select Create MCP Key.
5. Enter a key name, choose the key Scope, and press Create.

The key applies only to servers already added to the Dashboard account, so servers must be onboarded to the Dashboard before they are reachable over MCP.

3. Connect an MCP client

The key is used as a bearer token against the WebPros MCP endpoint https://mcp.webpros.com/api/mcp.

For Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http webpros-dashboard https://mcp.webpros.com/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <MCP_KEY>"

Other MCP-capable clients take the same endpoint URL and Authorization: Bearer header in their own configuration format. For configuration in other AI clients, check How to use WebPros Dashboard MCP.
