MCP Support?

CloudyBlake

Just got email from cPanel team, year in review, what's next etc.
This was mentioned at the bottom as coming in 2026:

Platform Modernization with MCP Support
We’re preparing MCP server support in WHM at the admin level, enabling administrators to manage and interact with the UI through prompts as part of our broader platform modernization efforts.

I post this here to ask, am I missing something? Hooking AI into your panel for what? Would this benefit Enhance? I feel like I'm missing the benefit here. Enlighten me?

Anything you can do via the GUI or CLI will be achievable via AI. It's technically possible to do that now but with MCP support it's a lot easier.

You would be able to do simple things such as give AI a prompt and it will perform the task for you, to much larger things around automating tasks and maintenance.

SharedGrid We already do this with our internal system, ,we even gate what our central pane of glass can do with or to Enhance at any given time. One concern is always turning AI loose and waking up to something very broken, so if you use AI make sure to setup proper canary (test) servers/sites that are used first for any change you might consider allowing your AI agents to handle.

On the main topic, the MCP support is interesting... I am just not sure I want another "layer" - I would prefer API control, as it is now. Need to think on that one.

"You just deleted 10 sites!"

AI: "Oh my bad! You're right to point that out and I really respect your feedback. Next time I won't do that. Would you like me to delete anymore sites?"

Update : Is there a MCP for Enhance Hosting Panel ?

With an API, is MCP necessary?

JohnB

I thought the same thing but yes, even though most AI's can read API documentation and use it, its much slower than a properly setup MCP and different models have different quirks.

Its kinda like "with access to the code is documentaiton necessary?"

Personally I wish there were read only API keys.

nzadam Agreed, which is why I created this Feature Request but people need to vote 🙂

MarkD voted. Thanks, was hoping someone would post something useful to my comment!

I'd like to see an MCP server added to Enhance. I've been using Cloudflare's MCP server, along with Gitbook's, along with our own app's, among others. For me I really like interacting with all these things via an MCP connection. Also more and more products/services are adding MCP support every day it seems.

Sure I could build some GUI that interacts with Enhance via its API, but I don't have time for that. Being able to just type into ChatGPT Desktop or Claude Desktop what I want to do would be awesome.

I use the Enhance API via opencode using any model I want, and it works great, no MCP needed for me. I agree that a read-only API key option would be brilliant. I also have that opencode install tied to my FreeScout API, and use it to help triage tickets that come in, it researches issues, creates a note with it's findings, and assigns the ticket. If I assign a ticket with a note to it's SysOps or WebOps user, it works the note and adds it's own note, and assigns it back for review.

@JohnB LOL - yup. exactly that. "Oh, you were right to correct me that formatting your Enhance Control Server was probably not the best path forward..."
