BorealHost

Set your BorealHost API key for this session. Call this if you already have an API key (from checkout completion, the BorealHost panel, or a container claim). All subsequent tool calls will use this key for authentication. Args: api_key: Your BorealHost API key (format: bh_<48 hex chars>) Returns: {"success": true, "message": "API key set for this session", "key_prefix": "bh_..."}

Check the current API key's account info, scopes, and site count. Requires: BOREALHOST_API_KEY env var (read scope). Returns: {"user": {"id": "uuid", "email": "...", "date_joined": "iso8601"}, "api_key": {"id": "uuid", "name": "...", "prefix": "bh_...", "scopes": ["read", "write"], "created_at": "iso8601"}, "account": {"sites": 2, "active_subscriptions": 1}} Errors: UNAUTHORIZED: Missing or invalid API key

Request an API key for a site YOU ARE RUNNING ON (challenge-response). ⚠ ONLY USE THIS IF YOU ARE EXECUTING INSIDE THAT SITE'S OWN CONTAINER. If you bought or ordered the site from somewhere else, this is the wrong tool: it returns "pending" and the pending never resolves, because the proof it asks for is a file you cannot reach. Use `get_checkout_status(checkout_id)` on the checkout that paid for the site — that hands over the site-scoped key over plain HTTP with no container access. The refusal and the pending response both name it under `alternative` when one is available. Two-step verification flow: 1. A claim token is written into that site's container, at the per-site path the response gives you in `claim_path` (mode 600, owner admin — readable only from on the container). Do not hardcode the path. 2. Read that file and call claim_api_key(token) within 1 hour Refused for sites on SHARED containers. One container there serves up to 40 customers behind one agent, so reading a file proves you are on the machine, not which customer you are — the token would authenticate the wrong thing. No authentication needed — the proof is reading the file from the container. Args: site_slug: The site identifier (your BorealHost site slug) Returns: {"status": "pending", "site_slug": "my-site", "expires_in_seconds": 3600, "claim_path": "/home/admin/.borealhost/.claim_token_my-site", "requires_container_access": true, "instructions": "Read the claim token and call claim_api_key()...", "alternative": {"checkout_id": "...", "command": "bh checkout status ..."}} Errors: VALIDATION_ERROR: Unknown site slug, no active subscription, shared container, or a key already exists (rotate it, never revoke it to reach this route). Carries `alternative` when another route works. RATE_LIMITED: Too many pending claim tokens

Claim an API key using a claim token from the container. After calling request_api_key(), read the claim token from the path that call returned in `claim_path`, on that site's container, and pass it here. The token is single-use — once claimed, it cannot be used again. The API key is automatically activated for this MCP session. Args: claim_token: The claim token string read from the container file Returns: {"api_key": "bh_...", "key_prefix": "bh_...", "site_slug": "my-site", "scopes": ["read", "write"], "message": "API key created and activated..."} Errors: VALIDATION_ERROR: Invalid, expired, or already-claimed token

List available hosting plans with pricing and resources. No authentication needed. Args: track: Filter by plan track. Valid values: "single_site", "agency". ⚠ The track is not the site count — most plans on BOTH tracks include several sites (site_starter 5, site_plus 8, site_pro 12). Read `max_sites` on the plan, and use add_site() to fill a slot. Leave empty to list all tracks. include_deprecated: Include deprecated plans (default: false) Returns: [{"slug": "site_starter", "name": "Starter", "track": "single_site", "hosting_type": "shared", "price": {"monthly": 5, "annual": 2, "currency": "CAD"}, "resources": null, "features": {"max_sites": 1, "ai_modules": [...], "ai_agents": [], "free_domain_annual": false}}, ...]

Start a new checkout session to purchase a hosting plan. No authentication needed. After creating, call update_checkout to set buyer info, then complete_checkout to pay. The response carries a `checkout_secret`, returned ONCE, that every later step of this checkout requires. It is held in memory for this MCP session and sent automatically — but it is gone if the server restarts. If a session key is set, the checkout is owned by that account and the API key authorizes the later steps on its own, which is the durable path. Args: sku: Plan SKU in format bh_{plan_slug}_{monthly|annual}. Examples: "bh_site_starter_monthly", "bh_site_pro_annual", "bh_site_managed_monthly", "bh_site_business_annual". Call list_plans() to discover all available plan slugs. Returns: {"id": "uuid", "sku": "bh_site_starter_monthly", "plan_slug": "site_starter", "billing_period": "monthly", "status": "not_ready", "buyer_email": "", "requested_slug": "", "created_at": "iso8601", "checkout_secret": "base64-token"} Errors: VALIDATION_ERROR: Invalid SKU format or unknown plan RATE_LIMITED: Max 10 checkouts per IP per hour

Set buyer email and desired site slug on a checkout session. The checkout must be in "not_ready" status. Setting requested_slug transitions status to "ready" (required before completing). Args: checkout_id: Checkout session ID from create_checkout buyer_email: Optional email — if omitted, a synthetic agent identity (agent-{uuid}@api.borealhost.ai) is created at completion requested_slug: Desired site identifier. Must be 3-50 chars, lowercase alphanumeric + hyphens, cannot start/end with hyphen. Must be globally unique. site_type: What the docroot should serve — wordpress (default), php, php-nodb or static-site. ⚠ Set it HERE: the checkout locks once buyer info is set, so choosing later means provisioning a WordPress you then convert away from, abandoning its tree in the docroot and paying a minute of provisioning for nothing. Returns: {"id": "uuid", "sku": "...", "plan_slug": "...", "billing_period": "monthly", "status": "ready", "buyer_email": "...", "requested_slug": "my-site", "created_at": "iso8601"} Errors: VALIDATION_ERROR: Invalid slug format or slug already taken FORBIDDEN: Missing checkout_secret NOT_FOUND: Unknown checkout_id

Complete checkout with payment and start site provisioning. The checkout must be in "ready" status. Two payment methods: - "stripe_checkout" (default): Returns a short, chat-safe payment URL. **Present `payment_url` to the human — NOT `stripe_checkout_url`.** The raw Stripe URL has a required `#fragment` that chat UIs routinely strip when rendering markdown links, which causes Stripe to show "page not found". `payment_url` is a short BorealHost redirect that preserves the fragment via HTTP 302. After paying, the human lands on a confirmation page (`confirmation_url`) — not on raw JSON. Then poll get_checkout_status() until status becomes "completed". The API key appears in the first poll after payment (shown once, then cleared). Payment provisions the site; nothing else has to be called to create it. - "stripe_payment_method": Charges a Stripe PaymentMethod directly. Requires payment_method_id. On success, returns the API key immediately. Args: checkout_id: Checkout session ID payment_method: "stripe_checkout" (returns a payment_url for a human), "stripe_payment_method" (card on file), or "wallet" — pay from the account's prepaid balance against THIS key's allowance. Check get_wallet() first: `spendable_cents` is what you may actually spend, and a wallet payment is refused for plans that order dedicated hardware, which are authorised against a verified card payment instead. payment_method_id: Stripe PaymentMethod ID (pm_...). Required only for "stripe_payment_method". Returns (stripe_checkout): {"id": "uuid", "status": "awaiting_payment", "payment_url": "https://borealhost.ai/pay/<id>/?s=<secret>", "confirmation_url": "https://borealhost.ai/pay/<id>/confirmation/?s=...", "stripe_checkout_url": "https://checkout.stripe.com/c/pay/...", "message": "Present payment_url to the human..."} Returns (stripe_payment_method): {"id": "uuid", "s

Poll a checkout session for status updates. Call this after complete_checkout to track payment and provisioning. Polling strategy: - First 60 seconds: every 5 seconds - After 60 seconds: every 15 seconds - Stop after 10 minutes if not completed Checkout statuses (in order): - "not_ready": Missing required fields (slug) - "ready": All fields set, awaiting payment - "awaiting_payment": Stripe checkout page opened, waiting for human - "in_progress": Payment received, site being provisioned - "completed": Site ready — API key included (shown once, then cleared) - "canceled": Checkout was abandoned - "failed": Payment or provisioning failed Terminal statuses: "completed", "canceled", "failed". Args: checkout_id: Checkout session ID Returns (when completed): {"id": "uuid", "status": "completed", "api_key": "bh_...", "api_key_message": "Store this API key securely...", "api_key_pending": false, "subscription_id": "uuid", "subscription_status": "active", "site": {"slug": "my-site", "status": "active", "url": "https://my-site.borealhost.ai"}, "completed_at": "iso8601"} Immediately after payment `site` may be null with a `provisioning_message` — the site is being built. Poll again in a few seconds. Note: The api_key field appears ONCE in the first poll after completion, then is permanently cleared. `api_key_pending` tells you whether it is still waiting to be collected. Store it immediately.

List checkouts belonging to the authenticated account. Requires: API key. Only checkouts with a recorded owner appear — every checkout created while authenticated, plus every checkout that reached payment. An anonymous checkout whose one-shot secret was lost cannot be listed; create checkouts authenticated to keep them addressable. Args: status: Optional filter — "not_ready", "ready", "awaiting_payment", "completed", "canceled", "failed". Returns: {"checkouts": [{...same shape as get_checkout_status...}], "note": "..."}

Abandon an unpaid checkout and expire its Stripe payment link. Use this to clean up abandoned attempts rather than leaving them to sit. A completed checkout is never cancelled here — that would be a refund, and it is refused. Args: checkout_id: Checkout session ID Returns: The checkout, with status "canceled". Errors: VALIDATION_ERROR: Checkout was already paid — cancel the subscription from the panel instead FORBIDDEN: Missing checkout_secret and no owning API key

Provision a site into a slot a plan you ALREADY PAY FOR includes. Two different things can be meant by "create a site". Buying one is the checkout flow (create_checkout → update → complete). This is the other: most plans include several sites, and this uses one of them at no extra cost. site_starter includes 5, site_plus 8, site_pro 12, and the agency plans more. `whoami` and `list_sites` show what the account already holds. ⚠ Prefer this over buying a second subscription when a slot is free. Sites under ONE subscription share one CPU pool, one disk quota and one rate-limit bucket — that shared budget is what the plan sells. Two subscriptions split it, so the customer pays twice for capacity they had. Requires: API key with write scope, on the account that owns the plan. Args: slug: Sub-domain for the new site (lowercase, digits, hyphens) subscription_id: The subscription whose slot to use client_name: Display name for the site (optional) domain: Custom domain; defaults to <slug>.borealhost.ai site_type: wordpress (default) | php | php-nodb | static-site. Choose here rather than provisioning WordPress and calling set_site_type afterwards — that installs a WordPress you then abandon in the docroot, and it costs a minute of provisioning. Returns: {"subscription_id": "uuid", "provisioning_job_id": "uuid", "slug": "my-second-site", "domain": "my-second-site.borealhost.ai", "status": "provisioning"} Poll get_site_status(slug) until it reports active. Errors: VALIDATION_ERROR: Plan includes a single site, slug taken, or every slot is in use (the message reports used/total) NOT_FOUND: Unknown subscription, or it belongs to another account

Change what a site's docroot IS, without deleting anything. Types: wordpress WordPress, PHP and a database (the default) php PHP and a database, no WordPress php-nodb PHP, no database static-site HTML/CSS/JS only, no PHP and no database ⚠ NON-DESTRUCTIVE. Existing files stay on disk and existing databases are not dropped. They remain the customer's data and keep counting against their plan's quota — this changes how the site is SERVED, not what it holds. Converting back later finds everything where it was. ⚠ Moving to a type without PHP does not merely stop executing .php — it stops serving them. The vhost returns 404 for php/phtml, because falling through to the static handler would return the file's SOURCE, and a docroot converted from WordPress still contains wp-config.php with the database password in it. Shared hosting only. On a VPS the whole container is the customer's and they reconfigure it with the tools inside it. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier site_type: One of the four values above Returns: {"from": "wordpress", "to": "static-site", "database_created": false, "placeholder_seeded": false, "pool_removed": true} `placeholder_seeded` is true only when the docroot was EMPTY — an existing site's content is never overwritten. Errors: VALIDATION_ERROR: Unknown type, or the site is not on shared hosting NOT_FOUND: Unknown slug or not reachable by this account

The account's prepaid balance, and what THIS key may spend from it. Two ceilings, and both apply: the balance bounds the ACCOUNT, the allowance bounds this KEY within it. Plan against `spendable_cents`, which is the lower of the two — a $50 balance behind a $5 allowance means $5, and planning against the balance is planning a purchase that gets refused. `can_spend: false` with a non-zero balance is normal and means this key has no budget allocated. That is not a bug: a key with no allowance may not spend the account's money, which is the whole reason allowances exist. Ask the human to allocate one in the panel (Compte → Clés API). Read-only. Money goes in through a human — an agent able to top up its own budget does not have one. Requires: API key with read scope. Returns: {"currency": "CAD", "balance_cents": 5000, "spendable_cents": 500, "can_spend": true, "key_allowance": {"limit_cents": 2000, "spent_cents": 1500, "remaining_cents": 500}} To spend it: complete_checkout(..., payment_method="wallet").

Examples: A: "1.2.3.4", CNAME: "example.com", MX: "mail.example.com", TXT: "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all" The DNS provider manages the effective TTL and does not expose a per-record value through this service. Returns: {"success": true, "record": {"type": "A", "subdomain": "www", "value": "1.2.3.4"}} Errors: VALIDATION_ERROR: Missing value for create, invalid record type NOT_FOUND: Unknown slug

Used as subdomain: {app_name}.{site_domain} db_type: Database type. "none", "mysql", or "postgresql" (depends on template) domain: Custom domain override (default: {app_name}.{site_domain}) display_name: Human-friendly name (default: derived from app_name) Returns: {"id": "uuid", "app_name": "myapp", "status": "installing", "message": "Installation started.

Create a local container snapshot (async). Runs in background — returns immediately with status "creating". Poll list_snapshots() to check when status becomes "completed" or "failed". Available for VPS, dedicated, and cloud plans (any plan with max_snapshots > 0). Local snapshots are stored on the host disk and count against disk quota. Requires: API key with write scope.

Run ONE bounded read against a site's database. One statement, beginning with SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE or EXPLAIN, with no second statement and no data-modifying clause anywhere in it. The container proves the statement is a read before running it and caps the result: 200 rows by default, 1000 maximum, 2 MB of cell data. `truncated` in the response says whether a cap was reached. ⚠ THIS TOOL CANNOT CHANGE ANYTHING, AND RETRYING WITH DIFFERENT WORDING WILL NOT MAKE IT. Anything that is not a single bounded read is refused with READ_ONLY and nothing runs. To change data or schema, use the tool for the job: optimize_database, database_search_replace, manage_db_user, list_databases, list_tables — and for creating, altering, dropping, importing or exporting tables, the database manager in the control panel, which has no tool here. Requires: API key with write scope (unchanged — the scope is the customer's published permission for this operation, not a claim about what it does). Args: slug: Site identifier database: Database name query: One read statement Returns: {"columns": ["id", "user_email"], "rows": [[1, "[email protected]"], ...], "row_count": 1, "truncated": false, "execution_time_ms": 12.0} Errors: READ_ONLY: Not a single bounded read. The error text carries the explanation and names the operation to use instead.

Enable or disable Cloudflare CDN proxy for a site. When enabled (orange cloud): traffic goes through Cloudflare's CDN, gets caching, DDoS protection, and SSL termination at the edge. When disabled (grey cloud): traffic goes directly to origin server. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier proxied: true to enable CDN proxy, false to disable Returns: {"domain": "my-site.borealhost.ai", "proxied": true, "ip": "1.2.3.4"}

Purge Cloudflare CDN cache for a site. Without urls: purges all cached content for the site's subdomain. With urls: purges only the specified URLs (max 30 per call). Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier urls: Optional list of specific URLs to purge (e.g. ["https://my-site.borealhost.ai/style.css"]) Returns: {"purged": true, "scope": "host", "domain": "my-site.borealhost.ai"}

List SFTP accounts on a site. Also returns the host and port to connect to. Do not use the site's domain for SFTP: it is Cloudflare-proxied and only carries HTTP(S). Requires: API key with read scope. Args: slug: Site identifier Returns: {"accounts": [{"username": "sftpuser", "home": "/wordpress", "uid": 1001}], "configured": true, "connection": {"host": "1.2.3.4", "port": 9312, "protocol": "SFTP"}}

Create an SFTP account on a site. The account is chrooted to /var/www and lands in home_dir. Password must be at least 8 characters. Username must be lowercase alphanumeric. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier username: SFTP username (lowercase, max 32 chars) password: Password (min 8 chars) home_dir: Landing directory inside /var/www. Leave empty to land at /var/www itself, which lists every site directory. Returns: {"success": true, "username": "sftpuser", "home_dir": "/wordpress", "protocol": "sftp"}

Remove an SFTP account from a site. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier username: SFTP username to remove Returns: {"removed": true, "username": "sftpuser"}

Args: slug: Site identifier metric: "cpu", "memory", or "disk" (percentage-based) threshold: Threshold value 0-100 (e.g. 90 for 90%) operator: "gt" (greater than) or "lt" (less than). Default: "gt" severity: "warning" or "critical". Default: "warning" cooldown_minutes: Min minutes between repeated alerts. Default: 30 notify_email: Send email notification. Default: true notify_webhook: Optional webhook URL for POST notifications Returns: {"id": "uuid", "metric": "disk", "threshold": 90, ...}

Run a ClamAV malware scan on a site's container. Scans the web root (or specified path) for malware, viruses, and trojans. ClamAV is installed automatically if not present. Excludes node_modules, vendor, .git, and cache directories. May take up to 5 minutes for large sites. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier path: Directory to scan (default: /var/www/html) Returns: {"infected_files": [{"path": "/var/www/html/shell.php", "threat": "Php.Malware.Agent"}], "scanned_count": 1234, "infected_count": 1, "scan_time_s": 45.2}

List IP allow/deny firewall rules for a site. Rules are implemented as Nginx allow/deny directives per container. Requires: API key with read scope. Args: slug: Site identifier Returns: {"rules": [{"ip": "1.2.3.4", "action": "deny"}, {"ip": "10.0.0.0/8", "action": "allow"}]}

Add an IP firewall rule (allow or deny) and reload Nginx. Supports IPv4, IPv6, and CIDR notation. Max 100 rules per site. If a rule already exists for the IP, the action is updated. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier ip: IP address or CIDR (e.g. "1.2.3.4", "10.0.0.0/8", "2001:db8::/32") action: "deny" (block) or "allow" (whitelist). Default: "deny" Returns: {"added": true, "ip": "1.2.3.4", "action": "deny"}

Remove an IP firewall rule and reload Nginx. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier ip: IP address or CIDR to remove (must match exactly) Returns: {"removed": true, "ip": "1.2.3.4"}

List ports published from this site's container to the public internet. These are iptables DNAT rules on the node, NOT the IP allow/deny rules that add_firewall_rule manages — those two tools do unrelated things and neither substitutes for the other. Requires: API key with read scope. Args: slug: Site identifier Returns: {"port_forwards": [{"id": "...", "external_port": 3478, "internal_port": 3478, "protocol": "udp", "status": "active", "public_address": "203.0.113.5:3478", "port_preserved": true}], "limit": 15, "port_budget": 7680, "ports_used": 1, "max_range_ports": 1024, "public_ip": "203.0.113.5"}

Publish a container port on the node's public IP (TCP or UDP). This is how inbound UDP reaches a container. There is no other way: the container's own address is private, and the IP allow/deny rules of add_firewall_rule cannot route anything. PORT PRESERVATION MATTERS. Leave external_port at 0 and a port is allocated from 10000-19999 — your service becomes reachable, but on a DIFFERENT number. That is fine for HTTP or ssh and broken for every protocol that carries its own port inside the payload: STUN, TURN, RTP/WebRTC, SIP, WireGuard, QUIC. For those, pass external_port equal to internal_port. A media server needs a contiguous span, not one port — pass internal_port_end. A span is always published unchanged and counts as ONE rule against your limit. Some ports are refused because the host or its neighbours already answer on them: 22, 80, 443, 2222, 9201, 51820, and the bands 9210-9250, 9310-9350 and 20000-20099. The last one is why the "forward UDP 20000-20999 for Janus" recipe printed in most Nextcloud Talk guides will not work here — pick a span above it, e.g. 20100-20599. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier internal_port: Port your service listens on inside the container protocol: "tcp" or "udp". Default: "tcp" label: Free-text note shown in the panel external_port: Publish on this exact port; 0 allocates one from the pool internal_port_end: End of a contiguous range (inclusive); 0 means one port Returns: {"id": "...", "external_port": 3478, "internal_port": 3478, "protocol": "udp", "status": "active", "public_address": "203.0.113.5:3478", "port_preserved": true}

Stop publishing a port, by the rule id from list_port_forwards. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier forward_id: Rule id (uuid) from list_port_forwards Returns: {"removed": true, "forward_id": "..."}

Retrieve container logs (error, access, or PHP). Requires: API key with read scope. Args: slug: Site identifier log_type: "error" (Nginx/Apache errors), "access" (HTTP request log), or "php" (PHP-FPM errors, WordPress sites only) lines: Number of lines to retrieve (1–500, default: 100) search: Optional keyword filter — only lines containing this string Returns: {"log_type": "error", "lines": ["2024-01-15 ... error ...", ...], "count": 42, "truncated": false} Errors: NOT_FOUND: Unknown slug VALIDATION_ERROR: Invalid log_type or lines out of range

List all domains owned by the authenticated user. Requires: API key with read scope. Returns: [{"domain": "example.com", "status": "active", "expires_at": "iso8601", "auto_renew": true, "linked_site": "my-site"}]

無需輸入參數。

Check domain availability and get pricing. Requires: API key with read scope. Args: domain: Full domain name (e.g. "example.com", "mybiz.ca") Returns: {"domain": "example.com", "available": true, "registration_estimate_cad": "15.99", "currency": "CAD", "price_cad_includes_privacy": false, "total_cad": null, "quote_required": true} Note: .ca domains require ca_legal_type when registering.

Register a new domain with WHOIS contact info and Stripe billing. First request a quote (quote_only=True), present registration_cad, privacy_cad, total_cad, term and privacy choice, and obtain customer consent. Then repeat the same input with quote_only=False and the quote_token. Never automatically accept a replacement token after a price change. Included annual registration covers registration only; selected privacy uses the same BoC daily USD/CAD rate, rounded to CAD cents, no markup. Registration/renewal convert their actual operation-specific USD cost first, then apply 10% and round up to CAD .95. Rates older than four days refuse. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: whois_privacy: Explicit privacy choice; defaults selected only for supported paid TLDs. quote_only: True returns a quote without registration or payment. quote_token: Signed five-minute quote accepted by the customer. domain: Full domain name (e.g. "example.ca", "mybusiness.com") first_name: Registrant first name last_name: Registrant last name email: Registrant email address phone: Phone number in E.164 format: "+1.5145551234" address1: Street address (e.g. "123 Rue Principale") city: City (e.g. "Montreal") state: Province/state code (e.g. "QC", "ON", "BC") postal_code: Postal/ZIP code (e.g. "H2X 1Y4") country: ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (default: "CA") period: Registration period in years (1–10, default: 1) usage_mode: What the domain points at. "site" (default) links it to the billing subscription's site with automatic DNS + Nginx + SSL. "external_ns" delegates it to `nameservers` — the domain is registered here but hosted elsewhere; we manage no DNS. "dns_only" keeps it on our DNS with no site behind it. "forward" redirects visitors to `forward_url`. nameservers: Ordered list of 2–6 nameserver hostnames. Required when

Get full domain details including DNS and infrastructure status. Requires: API key with read scope. Args: domain_name: Full domain name (e.g. "example.com") Returns: {"domain": "example.com", "status": "active", "expires_at": "iso8601", "auto_renew": true, "nameservers": ["ns1.borealhost.ai", "ns2.borealhost.ai"], "dns_records": [...], "linked_site": "my-site"} Errors: NOT_FOUND: Domain not owned by this account

List subdomain DNS records for a domain you own. Requires: API key with read scope. Args: domain_name: Registrable domain (e.g. "example.com") Returns: [{"fqdn": "blog.example.com", "subdomain": "blog", "record_type": "A", "value": "1.2.3.4", "is_auto": true}, ...] Errors: NOT_FOUND: Domain not found

Create and route a subdomain of a site-linked domain. Creates the DNS A record (if absent) pointing at the site's server, then configures the nginx vhost and SSL certificate on that server. The domain must already be linked to a site (see link_domain). Idempotent: if the DNS record already exists and points at the site's server, the nginx/SSL steps are (re)applied — safe to re-call, e.g. to retry SSL after DNS propagation. May take up to 3 minutes when a certificate is issued. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: domain_name: Registrable domain linked to a site (e.g. "example.com") subdomain: Subdomain label only, no dots (e.g. "blog") Returns: {"fqdn": "blog.example.com", "domain": "example.com", "site": "my-site", "message": "..."} Errors: NOT_FOUND: Domain not found VALIDATION_ERROR: Domain not linked to a site, invalid label, or an existing record points at a different server

Remove a subdomain: its DNS record, nginx vhost and certificate. The inverse of add_subdomain. Removes the DNS record AND the server-side vhost and cert, so the name stops resolving and stops being served. Nothing else on the domain is touched. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: domain_name: Registrable domain linked to a site (e.g. "example.com") subdomain: Subdomain label only, no dots (e.g. "blog") Returns: {"fqdn": "blog.example.com", "domain": "example.com", "removed": ["dns", "vhost", "cert"], "message": "..."} Errors: NOT_FOUND: Domain or subdomain not found VALIDATION_ERROR: Domain not linked to a site, or invalid label

Link a domain to a hosted site. Attaches the domain to the specified site and triggers automatic DNS configuration and SSL provisioning. WARNING: Regenerates this site's nginx vhost on the host from scratch. Any config applied to that vhost by hand is lost, silently — the site keeps serving and only the hand-added behaviour disappears. Config set via the nginx-snippet endpoint is NOT affected: it lives in a separate file the regenerated vhost re-includes, which is what that endpoint is for. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: domain_name: Full domain name (e.g. "example.com") site_slug: Site identifier to link the domain to Returns: {"success": true, "domain": "example.com", "linked_site": "my-site", "message": "Domain linked"} Errors: NOT_FOUND: Domain or site not found VALIDATION_ERROR: Domain already linked to another site

Read the custom nginx config for a domain on the BorealHost host proxy. Your site sits behind a BorealHost reverse proxy that terminates TLS and forwards to your container. This returns the custom nginx block applied to that proxy for this domain (empty if you have not set one). Requires: API key with read scope. Args: domain_name: Full domain name (e.g. "example.com") Returns: {"domain": "example.com", "content": "location ...", "exists": true} Errors: NOT_FOUND: Domain not found VALIDATION_ERROR: Domain is not linked to a site

Set custom nginx config on the BorealHost host proxy — WebSocket, timeouts, headers. Use this when configuring your container's own nginx is not enough because something in front of it is interfering. The host proxy sits between the internet and your container, and by default its catch-all `location /` does not do anything special per-site. WEBSOCKETS: if your WebSocket endpoint returns 400 through your domain but upgrades correctly (101) when tested inside your container, the Upgrade header is being dropped in front of you. Add a location block that relays it: location ^~ /your/ws/path/ { proxy_pass <your site's existing upstream>; proxy_http_version 1.1; proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade; proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade"; proxy_read_timeout 3600; proxy_send_timeout 3600; error_page 502 503 504 =502; } When testing with curl, force HTTP/1.1 (curl --http1.1). A WebSocket handshake uses the Upgrade header, which is invalid in HTTP/2 — curl negotiates h2 with a CDN by default and the edge answers 400, which looks exactly like the bug you are trying to fix. This config lives OUTSIDE the generated vhost, so it survives domain re-linking, autoconfig, plan changes and reprovisioning. Sending "" clears it. Bounds — the file is parsed by a root process on a machine shared with BorealHost infrastructure, so only per-site proxy directives are accepted: location, proxy_pass, proxy_set_header, proxy_http_version, proxy_*_timeout, proxy_buffering, client_max_body_size, add_header, error_page, expires, gzip. `root`, `alias`, `include`, `access_log`, `error_log`, `server` and `upstream` are refused, and proxy_pass must target your own site's existing upstream. A rejection names the directive and why. The config is validated with `nginx -t` before it is applied and rolled back automatically if it does not pass, so a mistake cannot take your site down. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: dom

Set what a registered domain points at — a site, someone else's nameservers, our DNS with no site, or a redirect to another URL. Use this to park a domain, hand it to an external host, or forward it. Switching modes tears down the previous one (a forwarded domain that becomes a site domain loses its redirect, and vice versa). Requires: API key with write scope. Args: domain_name: Full domain name (e.g. "example.com") usage_mode: "site" — link it to a hosted site (needs site_slug); "external_ns" — delegate to the customer's own nameservers (needs nameservers), we stop managing its DNS entirely; "dns_only" — our nameservers, records edited by hand, nothing served; "forward" — our nameservers plus an HTTP redirect to forward_url (needs forward_url) site_slug: Site to link to, when usage_mode="site" nameservers: Ordered list of 2–6 nameserver hostnames, when usage_mode="external_ns" forward_url: Redirect target, when usage_mode="forward" forward_type: "301" permanent (default) or "302" temporary forward_include_path: Append the visitor's path to the target (default: True) Returns: {"domain": "example.com", "usage_mode": "forward", "forward_url": "https://example.org", "configuration": {"dns": true, "nginx": true, "ssl": false, ...}} For forward mode, ssl=false usually just means DNS has not propagated yet — call this tool again a few minutes later to finish the cert. Errors: NOT_FOUND: Domain or site not found VALIDATION_ERROR: Bad nameserver hostname, bad redirect URL, missing site_slug, or a self-referential redirect

Update domain settings (auto-renew, WHOIS privacy, registrar lock). Only provided (non-None) fields are updated. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: domain_name: Full domain name (e.g. "example.com") auto_renew: Optional bool enabling/disabling automatic renewal whois_privacy: Optional bool. False disables saved proxy service. Paid activation via True is refused; request an activation quote through Support. locked: Optional bool enabling/disabling registrar lock (prevents unauthorized transfers) Returns: {"success": true, "domain": "example.com", "auto_renew": true, "whois_privacy": true, "locked": true} Errors: NOT_FOUND: Domain not found or not owned by account

Request OpenSRS verification email to its existing owner contact. Requires a write-scope API key and an owned registered/transferred domain. Call only when the customer requests a resend. No recipient override. Returns domain, send_acknowledged, inbox_delivery_confirmed (always false), registrant_verified, and the refreshed registrant_verification snapshot. A send acknowledgement confirms neither inbox delivery nor verification; status can remain unknown if the subsequent status refresh fails. PROVIDER_REFUSED (502) means no email should be assumed sent. CONFLICT (409) means another resend is in progress; RATE_LIMITED (429) has Retry-After 3600. Never automatically retry a refused, busy or throttled resend.

List all DNS records for a domain. Returns DNS records at the domain level (independent of site-level manage_dns). Use this for domains that may not be linked to a site. Requires: API key with read scope. Args: domain_name: Full domain name (e.g. "example.com") Returns: [{"id": "record-id", "type": "A", "subdomain": "www", "value": "1.2.3.4"}] The DNS provider manages the effective TTL and does not expose a per-record value through this service. Errors: NOT_FOUND: Domain not found or not owned by account

Add a DNS record to a domain. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: domain_name: Full domain name (e.g. "example.com") record_type: "A", "AAAA", "CNAME", "MX", "TXT", or "SRV" value: Record value (e.g. "1.2.3.4" for A, "mail.example.com" for MX) subdomain: Subdomain part (e.g. "www", "mail"). Empty for apex domain. priority: MX priority (required for MX records) The DNS provider manages the effective TTL and does not expose a per-record value through this service. Returns: {"success": true, "record": {"id": "...", "type": "A", "subdomain": "www", "value": "1.2.3.4"}} Errors: VALIDATION_ERROR: Missing value, invalid record type NOT_FOUND: Domain not found

Delete a DNS record from a domain. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: domain_name: Full domain name (e.g. "example.com") record_id: ID of the DNS record to delete (from list_domain_dns) Returns: {"success": true, "message": "DNS record deleted"} Errors: NOT_FOUND: Domain or record not found

Args: slug: Site identifier Returns: {"modules": {"chatbot": true, "seo": false, "translation": false, "content": false}, "available": ["chatbot", "seo", "translation", "content"]} Errors: NOT_FOUND: Unknown slug

Enable or disable an AI module on a site. The module must be in the plan's available module list. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier module_name: Module to toggle. Available modules: "chatbot" (AI chat widget), "seo" (SEO optimization), "translation" (content translation), "content" (AI content generation) Returns: {"module": "chatbot", "enabled": true, "message": "Module enabled"} Errors: NOT_FOUND: Unknown slug or module not in plan VALIDATION_ERROR: Invalid module name

List on-demand compute instance types with hourly CAD prices. On-demand instances are real cloud VMs in Canada (Montreal region), billed per minute (1-hour minimum) post-paid onto your existing BorealHost subscription. Use them for short-lived extra compute (builds, batch jobs, experiments). Requires: API key with read scope. Returns: {"region": "ca-central-1", "currency": "CAD", "billing": "hourly, post-paid; billing runs until the instance is terminated", "types": [{"type": "lsw.c3.large", "vcpu": 2, "memory_gb": 3, "hourly_price_cad": 0.08, "min_disk_gb": 5, "storage_types": ["CENTRAL", "LOCAL"]}, ...]}

無需輸入參數。

List OS images available for on-demand compute instances. Requires: API key with read scope. Returns: {"images": [{"id": "UBUNTU_24_04_64BIT", "name": "Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (x86_64)", "family": "linux", "flavour": "ubuntu"}, ...]}

無需輸入參數。

Launch an on-demand hourly compute instance (Canada, CAD). Billing starts at launch (per minute, 1-hour minimum) and runs until terminate_compute_instance — stopping does NOT stop the charge. Every instance has a hard TTL (max_lifetime_hours, default 72h) after which it is auto-terminated. Usage is metered onto your existing BorealHost subscription; an active subscription is required. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: instance_type: From list_compute_types, e.g. "lsw.c3.large" image_id: From list_compute_images, e.g. "UBUNTU_24_04_64BIT" name: Optional label for the instance ssh_public_key: Public key installed as root access. Mutually exclusive with user_data (provider limitation) — provide exactly one. user_data: cloud-init config (plain text #cloud-config). Use ssh_authorized_keys inside it if you need a key AND user data. root_disk_size: GB (default max(min_disk, 25)) storage_type: "CENTRAL" (redundant) or "LOCAL" (faster I/O) max_lifetime_hours: Hard TTL, 1-336 (default 72) Returns: Instance dict: {"id", "state": "launching", "public_ip", "instance_type", "hourly_price_cad", "terminate_after", ...}. Poll get_compute_instance until state is "running" and public_ip is set (~1-3 min). Errors: PAYMENT_REQUIRED: No active subscription to bill against LIMIT_EXCEEDED: Concurrent instance cap reached SPEND_CAP_EXCEEDED: Monthly compute spend cap reached VALIDATION_ERROR: Bad type/image/disk/TTL, or both/neither of ssh_public_key and user_data

List your on-demand compute instances with month-to-date spend. Requires: API key with read scope. Returns: {"instances": [...], "month_to_date_spend_cad": 12.34, "monthly_spend_cap_cad": 500.0}

Get live details for a compute instance (state, public IP, accrued cost). State is synced from the cloud provider on each call. SSH as root once state is "running" and public_ip is set. Requires: API key with read scope. Args: instance_id: Instance UUID from launch_compute_instance / list Returns: {"id", "state", "public_ip", "hourly_price_cad", "accrued_cad", "terminate_after", ...}

Start a stopped compute instance. Requires: API key with write scope.

Stop a compute instance. WARNING: hourly billing continues while stopped. Use terminate_compute_instance to stop the charges permanently. Requires: API key with write scope.

Reboot a running compute instance. Requires: API key with write scope.

Permanently terminate a compute instance — this stops hourly billing. The instance and its disk are destroyed and cannot be recovered. Copy any results off the instance before terminating. Requires: API key with write scope. Returns: Final instance dict with state "terminated" and total accrued_cad.

List your compute volumes — machines that survive instance termination. A volume is a whole machine (packages, drivers, services, users, data) stored in Canada. Detaching destroys the instance but keeps the machine; attaching restores it onto a fresh instance, optionally of a DIFFERENT type. That is how you move a workload from a small CPU box to a big GPU box without rebuilding it. Requires: API key with read scope. Returns: {"volumes": [{"id", "name", "state", "instance_type", "stored_gb", "has_snapshot", "instance": {...} or null}, ...], "price_cad_per_gb_month": 0.03} state is one of: creating, attached, detaching, detached, attaching, error. Only "attached" has a running instance you can log into.

無需輸入參數。

Get a volume's live state, its instance, and its monthly storage cost. Requires: API key with read scope. Returns: Volume dict plus "monthly_storage_cad". After attach, poll this until instance.state is "running" — then allow a few more minutes for the restore to finish and the machine to reboot into itself.

Create a persistent machine and boot its first instance. Start here, then set the machine up however you like (install packages, drivers, models). Everything you do becomes part of the volume the first time you detach or snapshot it. While attached you pay hourly compute; while detached you pay only for stored bytes (CA$0.03/GB/month). Stopping an instance does NOT save money on this provider — detaching is what stops the compute charge. Requires: API key with write scope, and an active subscription. Args: name: Label for the volume, e.g. "trainer" image_id: From list_compute_images, e.g. "UBUNTU_24_04_64BIT". Cannot change later — restores must land on the same OS. instance_type: From list_compute_types, e.g. "lsw.g6.xlarge". CAN change on every later attach. ssh_public_key: Required. Volume instances always boot via cloud-init, so this is the only way in. root_disk_size: GB. Defaults to the type's minimum (or 25). Returns: Volume dict with state "attached". Poll get_compute_volume until instance.state is "running" (~1-3 min). Errors: PAYMENT_REQUIRED: No active subscription LIMIT_EXCEEDED: Volume cap reached NOT_AVAILABLE: Volumes not enabled on this deployment

Turn an instance you are ALREADY running into a persistent volume. Use this when you launched something, set it up, and then decided you want to keep it. Nothing reboots and no data moves — the machine you have becomes the volume, and you can detach it afterwards to stop paying for compute while keeping the machine. Beats creating a volume and rebuilding. Only instances launched with an ssh_public_key qualify. One launched with your own user_data carries only your key, and a key cannot be added to a machine we cannot already log into — check "managed_ssh" on the instance. Requires: API key with write scope, and an active subscription. Args: instance_id: A running lsw.* instance you own name: Label for the volume (defaults to the instance name) Returns: Volume dict with state "attached", wrapping that same instance. No snapshot exists yet — the first one is taken on detach or snapshot. Errors: CONFLICT: Not running, already a volume, BorealHost Metal, or launched without BorealHost management access

Queue: snapshot the machine, verify it, then destroy the instance. This is how you stop paying for compute while keeping your work. ASYNCHRONOUS. Returns immediately with state "detaching" — it does NOT mean the detach finished. The capture takes minutes (roughly 1 min per 10 GB plus verification), so it runs in a background worker. Poll get_compute_volume until state is "detached" (done) or "error" (failed). Safety: if the snapshot or its verification fails, the instance is left RUNNING and the volume goes to state "error". Your data is never traded for a tidy state machine. Retry the detach once you have fixed the cause. Requires: API key with write scope. Returns: Volume dict with state "detaching". Poll for the outcome.

Restore a detached volume onto a fresh instance — optionally a new type. Pass a different instance_type to move the same machine to different hardware: this is the closest thing to changing instance type that the provider allows, since it has no resize API at all. The restore runs at first boot and the machine reboots into itself, so the instance answers SSH BEFORE it is ready. Poll get_compute_volume and give it a few minutes (measured: ~6 min for a 10 GB GPU machine end to end). The machine keeps its SSH host keys, so your client will not warn about a changed host identity. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: volume_id: A volume in state "detached" ssh_public_key: Required — installed via cloud-init at boot instance_type: Defaults to the type it last ran on root_disk_size: GB. May grow, never shrink below the volume's size. Returns: Volume dict with state "attached" and a new instance. Errors: CONFLICT: Volume is not detached, or has no snapshot yet

Queue a checkpoint snapshot without detaching — before a risky change. ASYNCHRONOUS. Returns immediately with state "snapshotting"; poll get_compute_volume until it is back to "attached" (done) or "error". Named systemd units are stopped for the capture so the snapshot is application-consistent (a live database directory copied mid-write is not reliably restorable). The worker restarts nothing — reboot or start them yourself afterwards. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: volume_id: A volume in state "attached" quiesce_units: Services to stop during capture, e.g. ["ollama.service", "postgresql.service"] Returns: Volume dict with state "snapshotting". Poll for the outcome.

Permanently delete a volume and everything stored in it. Irreversible: the instance is released AND the stored data is purged from object storage, so billing genuinely stops. Refuses while an instance is live unless force=True, so a running machine's only copy cannot be destroyed by reflex. Requires: API key with admin scope. Returns: {"id", "state": "deleted"}

Start, stop, or restart a site's container. Only for plans with a dedicated container (VPS / split-VPS / dedicated). Shared-hosting sites share a container and cannot restart it. The response reports the observed container state after the action. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier action: "start", "stop", or "restart" Returns: {"site", "action", "status": "running|stopped", "observed": true} Errors: VALIDATION_ERROR: Shared-hosting plan or unknown action

List the account's support tickets. Requires: API key with read scope. Args: status: Optional filter (e.g. "open", "closed") Returns: [{"id", "subject", "status", "category", "created_at", ...}, ...]

Get a support ticket with its full message thread. Requires: API key with read scope. Args: ticket_id: Ticket UUID from list_support_tickets Returns: {"id", "subject", "status", "messages": [...]}

Open a support ticket with the BorealHost team. Use this to escalate platform-side problems you cannot fix with the available tools (billing issues, infrastructure faults, API bugs). A human answers every ticket — poll get_support_ticket for updates. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: subject: Short summary (max 200 chars) message: Full description (max 20000 chars) category: Optional (e.g. "technical", "billing") site: Optional site slug the ticket concerns Returns: {"id", "subject", "status", "message": "Ticket created..."}

Add a message to an existing support ticket. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: ticket_id: Ticket UUID message: Reply text Returns: {"id", "status", ...}

Get the backup retention policy for a VPS site. Requires: API key with read scope. Returns: {"site", "retention": {"keep_daily", "keep_weekly", "keep_monthly"}}

Set the backup retention policy for a VPS site. Storage is billed on real stored bytes, so deeper history costs the customer, not the platform. Values are clamped to platform bounds; the response reports what was actually stored. Pass -1 to leave a knob unchanged, or reset=true to restore defaults. Requires: API key with write scope. Returns: {"site", "retention": {...}}

Permanently delete a single backup (metadata + stored snapshot). Irreversible. Requires: API key with admin scope. Returns: {"site", "backup_id", "deleted": true}

List HTTP redirect rules for a site. Requires: API key with read scope. Returns: [{"id", "source_path", "target_url", "redirect_type"}, ...]

Add an HTTP redirect rule to a site. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier source_path: Path to redirect, must start with "/" (e.g. "/old-page") target_url: Destination URL redirect_type: 301 (permanent, default) or 302 (temporary) Returns: {"id", "source_path", "target_url", "redirect_type"}

Delete a redirect rule by source path or id. Requires: API key with write scope. Returns: {"site", "deleted": true}

Actions: "create" (user+password), "drop" (user), "set_password" (user+password), "grants" (list a user's grants), "grant" / "revoke" (user+database, optional privileges e.g. "ALL" or "SELECT,INSERT"). Requires: API key with write scope. Returns: {"engine", "action", "result": {...}}

Prepare a domain to transfer to another registrar. Unlocks the domain and emails the EPP/auth code to the registrant contact on file (BorealHost never sees the code). The domain keeps working here until the transfer completes. Requires: API key with write scope. Returns: {"domain", "unlocked": true, "auth_code_emailed": true, "message"}

Route *.domain (every subdomain) to the domain's linked site. Creates a wildcard DNS record and issues a wildcard certificate via ACME DNS-01. SLOW — DNS propagation is part of the challenge, expect 2-5 minutes. Requires the domain to be linked to a site and its DNS hosted by BorealHost. Requires: API key with write scope. Returns: {"domain", "wildcard", "site", "ssl_active", "not_after"}

Install your own SSL certificate for a site's domain. The certificate must be a PEM fullchain (leaf + intermediates) and the key unencrypted PEM. Validated (parse, key match, domain coverage, expiry) before nginx is touched; nginx config is tested before reload. Requires: API key with write scope. Returns: {"site", "domain", "server_names", "installed": true, "ssl_active": true, "not_after"}

Rotate the current email-only key with overlap, preserving scope and expiry.

Enable an independent email domain; preserve all other email domains. Requires a verified owned domain and email:write scope. site_slug selects billing when ambiguous. Defaults request 2,000 users and 50,000 aliases.

Page through a domain's mailboxes, optionally filtering by organisation label.

Inspect usage, services, aliases count, forwarding/Sieve, autoresponder and label.

Create a domain-addressed billable mailbox. Password returned once; retries omit it.

Set display_name, quota_gb, smtp_sent_limit, label, services or suspended. Suspension disables client access and outbound SMTP while preserving receipt.

Soft-delete a mailbox. confirm must equal email. Provider recovery window: 30 days.

Restore a uniquely identifiable soft-deleted mailbox under its original address.

Reset password and terminate IMAP/POP sessions. Requires email:signon.

Terminate established IMAP and POP sessions through OpenSRS logout_user.

Clear forwarding; when Sieve exists, requires explicit clear_all_filters=true.

Issue a temporary mail-services token with no OMA access. Requires email:signon. Use 60, 120, ... 1440 minutes. OpenSRS rejects fractional hours; no rounding up.

Issue a one-use BorealHost link expiring in 60 seconds. Redemption mints provider SSO. Requires email:signon.

Look up mailbox/alias/forward/free in an authorized email domain.

List a mailbox's aliases with pagination.

Add an alias on the same domain, preserving existing aliases.

Remove one alias, preserving the mailbox and other aliases.

List email API mutation/credential issuance attempts, actor, reason and outcome.

Email addon status and mailboxes for a site. Requires: API key with read scope. Returns: {"configured": bool, "domain", "mailboxes", "mailbox_list": [...]}

Enable business email (hosted mailboxes + webmail) on a domain. Creates the hosted-email domain, sets up outbound authentication (DKIM/SPF), and auto-configures MX/SPF DNS when the zone is hosted by BorealHost. Mailboxes are billed per-mailbox on the site subscription. Requires: API key with write scope. Returns: {"configured": true, "domain", "dns_auto_configured", "message"}

Create a mailbox on the site's email domain. Password is generated when omitted and returned ONCE — store it. Each mailbox adds to the subscription's email billing. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: slug: Site identifier local_part: Part before the @ (e.g. "info") display_name: Optional display name password: Optional password (generated if empty) Returns: {"email", "password", "message"}

Delete a mailbox (its mail is destroyed). Requires: API key with write scope. Returns: {"email", "deleted": true}
