AskYourStack MCP server

Let Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Claude Code manage your own Linux servers, with approvals for anything risky.

AskYourStack is a hosted, remote MCP server. Install a small agent on your server with one line, add your private AskYourStack MCP address to your AI client, and ask in plain words: set up a raw VPS, install Magento or WordPress, fix a 500 error, take backups, clean up malware, harden the server or move a site to a new one. For SEO it reads Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4, Core Web Vitals, on-page audits and your structured data next to what Googlebot really fetches in your server logs, and fixes the causes on the server.

This repository holds the listing and documentation for the AskYourStack MCP server. The service itself is hosted at askyourstack.com; there is nothing to build or run locally.

How it works

Connect your server. Sign up free at askyourstack.com, name your server and paste the one-line install as the Linux user who owns your sites (the agent then manages only that user's sites and files), or as root when it should run the whole server. The agent dials out to askyourstack.com over HTTPS: it opens no port, and no SSH key or password is stored anywhere.
Add AskYourStack to your AI client with your private MCP address from the dashboard (see below).
Ask. Your AI looks at the server first, explains its plan, and runs the work through AskYourStack's tools. Anything destructive waits for your approval.

Connect your AI client

Two ways in:

Sign in (OAuth): clients that support sign-in for remote MCP servers connect to https://askyourstack.com/mcp. You sign in to AskYourStack, see which app is asking and allow it. Each app gets its own access, which you can end under Security in the dashboard.
Private address: https://askyourstack.com/mcp/YOUR-ADDRESS, from the dashboard, for clients without sign-in. Keep it private, and make a new one in the dashboard if it leaks. The examples below use it.

The tool and playbook catalogue is public at https://askyourstack.com/mcp/catalog.

Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop): Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector. Name it AskYourStack, paste the address and leave the OAuth fields empty. Guide

Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http sudowhizzy https://askyourstack.com/mcp/YOUR-ADDRESS

Guide

Cursor (mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sudowhizzy": { "url": "https://askyourstack.com/mcp/YOUR-ADDRESS" }
  }
}

Guide

ChatGPT: Settings, Connectors, turn on developer mode, then add a custom connector with your address and no authentication. Guide

Any other client that supports remote MCP servers over streamable HTTP works the same way.

Tools

Tool	What it does	Plan
`overview`	Where everything stands in one call: plan, servers and their sites, open problems and warnings from the monitoring, approvals waiting, connected Google properties, saved notes and recent work	Free
`propose_plan`	Ask approval once for a job with several risky steps: the user sees every risky step and approves them together; each then runs once, exactly as listed	Free
`wait_for_approval`	After giving the user an approval, plan or change-window link, wait in the same turn until they decide, then carry on without them returning to the chat	Starter
`save_note`, `forget_note`	Short notes about a server or the account that the next chat sees in `overview` (never passwords: those are refused)	Free
`log_work`	A plain summary of a finished task, for the owner's dashboard and the next chat	Free
`list_servers`	The servers on the account: online, safety mode, paused	Free
`server_facts`	Distro, CPU, memory, disk, package manager, services, ports, Magento and WordPress installs	Free
`get_playbook`	Step-by-step guides for the AI (see Playbooks)	Free
`health_report`	Disk and inodes, memory, load, failed services, certificates, security updates, reboot needed, backups (age and rhythm), out-of-memory kills, PHP out of workers, database connection limit; on Pro and Agency also software with a known vulnerability	Free
`list_sites`	The sites on the server: Magento 2, OpenMage (Magento 1), WordPress and WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Shopware 6, Drupal, Joomla, OpenCart and Laravel, found from the web server's own configuration (Plesk, CloudPanel, RunCloud, DirectAdmin and plain layouts) and in Docker containers: kind, root, domains, access logs, owner, version, database (passwords never shown), its console	Free
`logs`	A log by name (web-error, php, magento, wordpress, database, system, mail, auth, or any file) for a time window, with repeated errors counted once, a sample of each and the latest lines

Search Console history: all 16 months Google keeps, on every plan (Free reads one property). Google Analytics 4: Pro 10 properties and 90 days, Agency 25 and all history. Core Web Vitals: 100 checks a day on Starter, 300 on Pro, 1,000 on Agency. Agency can connect up to 3 Google accounts (clients' own).

Playbooks

Served as MCP prompts and through get_playbook: server-setup, magento, wordpress, hardening, backups, site-checkup, malware-cleanup, migrate, bot-attack, seo-technical, publish-content, performance, updates, site-down, add-site, staging, restore, magento-upgrade, email, woocommerce, prestashop, shopware, drupal, laravel, other-shops (Joomla, OpenCart, OpenMage), seo-dashboard, whizzycommerce, ghost. The AI fetches the right one on its own for tasks like a fresh Magento install or a hacked site.

Safety

Every call is sorted by risk. Reads run at once. Changes run after /etc is saved. Destructive actions (deleting your data, dropping databases, SSH, sudo and firewall changes, reboots) wait for your approval. Anything touching the agent's own key is blocked.
Approvals the AI cannot fake. You approve signed in on askyourstack.com; an approval runs once, only with the exact arguments you saw, within 30 minutes. Text planted in a log or web page cannot approve anything. The approval page says in plain words what the action does, what could go wrong and how to undo it, and before an approved delete of database tables or whole folders a copy is saved first when the command names them plainly.
Modes and kill switch. Each server is read-only, normal or full trust. Pause a server or the whole account in one click; disconnecting revokes the agent.
Undo. /etc snapshots before changes, previous versions of every overwritten file, snapshots and rollback.
Secrets stay on the server. Database credentials are read from the site's own config and never reach the AI. Your MCP address is stored only as a hash.
Signed agent updates and a full audit log of every call.
