Use cases
Control ZapX services with AI
ZapX MCP is a hosted remote MCP server from ZAP-Hosting that connects 7 documented AI clients (Cursor, Claude Code, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, VS Code, Windsurf) to 3 service types — game servers, VPS and TeamSpeak servers — via OAuth, with per-connection permissions and confirmation before critical actions. Ask in plain language and your client calls the right tool: status and logs, console, files and configuration, backups, server controls or a plan change with a price preview.
Operations & console
Control services, inspect logs, and run console commands directly in chat.
- “Restart my service.”
- “Show the last console lines.”
- “Run a command in the server console.”
Files & configuration
Read configs, edit files, and browse directories.
- “Read a config file and change a value.”
- “List the main directories.”
- “Show me the contents of a specific file.”
Backups & restore
Create, list, and restore backups when you need them.
- “Create a backup of my service.”
- “List all backups and restore the newest one.”
- “When was the last backup created?”
Plan changes
Review options, prepare changes with a price preview, and complete them safely.
- “Upgrade my VPS to 8 GB RAM and 100 GB SSD.”
- “Show me the price preview before you apply the downgrade.”
- “What is the status of my requested plan change?”

FAQ
Frequently asked MCP questions
Everything you need to know about setting up and safely using ZapX Customer MCP.
An MCP server your AI client reaches by URL instead of running it locally.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI clients such as Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or Gemini use external tools and data. Your AI client acts as the MCP client, and the MCP server provides the tools, such as queries or actions. A local MCP server runs as a process on your own machine. A remote MCP server runs on a server, and your client connects to it over HTTP by URL. Explore developers & automation
As a custom connector in ChatGPT, via the MCP tools in Cursor.
In ChatGPT, open Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings and enable Developer mode (availability depends on your ChatGPT plan or workspace policy). Then go to Apps & Connectors → Create, paste the ZapX MCP server URL and choose OAuth as the authentication method. In Cursor, open Settings → Tools & Integrations → MCP tools and click Add to Cursor, or paste the configuration into your mcp.json. In both clients you then sign in with your ZapX account via OAuth Connect. Go to the client setup
As a connector in Claude, as a remote MCP server over HTTP in Claude Code.
ZapX Customer MCP is a remote MCP server: you don't start a local process, you only add the ZapX endpoint. In Claude you add it as a connector, in Claude Code as a remote MCP server over HTTP. Then you sign in with your ZapX account via OAuth Connect. The endpoint and the right configuration for each client are in the client setup on this page. Go to the client setup
The secure connection between your AI client and your services.
Customer MCP connects supported AI clients with your existing game servers, VPS and TeamSpeak servers. Your assistant can retrieve information and perform the administration tasks you approve. Game server hosting
Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and more.
We document Cursor, Claude Code, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, VS Code, and Windsurf.
OAuth Connect is the official flow.
Connect your MCP client to the ZapX endpoint and complete the ZapX login. You can then choose which areas your AI client may access.
Yes, you stay in control.
You decide whether your AI client can only view information or also control servers, change configuration, manage backups, and prepare plan changes.
Status, operations, configuration, backups, and more.
Based on the permissions you grant, you can inspect services and their status, control game servers, VPS and TeamSpeak, read console logs, manage configuration and files, and create, restore or delete backups. TeamSpeak server hosting
You explicitly confirm important changes.
For important changes such as server controls, restores, or plan adjustments, your AI client asks before it acts. You remain in control at every step.
Yes, with a price preview and multiple confirmations.
MCP first shows available plan options and a price preview. It only applies the change after you explicitly confirm it.
Not yet.

You can expand access at any time.
ZapX lets you know. You can expand access under Settings → API Access, then reconnect your AI client.
MCP for your AI client, the REST API for your own applications.
MCP connects ZAP-Hosting directly to AI clients such as Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini: you sign in via OAuth Connect and manage your services in the chat. The REST API is built for your own applications, scripts, bots, CI/CD and dashboards: you authenticate with an API key and define every request in your code, described in OpenAPI 3.1. Both are included in every ZapX Pass from Plus upward, and you can use them together. REST API overview
MCP access is included in every ZapX Pass from Plus upward – from €4.99.
Your hosted MCP server comes with ZapX Pass: ZapX Customer MCP is included in every tier from Plus upward, at no extra charge. ZapX Pass is available from €4.99. All tiers and what each one includes are listed on the ZapX Pass page. Get ZapX Pass
Yes. To run your own MCP server, use a VPS.
ZapX Customer MCP is a hosted MCP server for managing your ZapX services: ZAP-Hosting runs it, not you. If you want to run your own MCP server with your own tools, for example for an application you build, rent a VPS and install the server there yourself. Both work together: you can manage that VPS through ZapX MCP as well. Explore VPS hosting
