Impreza now talks to Claude, Cursor, and Codex: introducing My Apps + MCP

Self-hosted infrastructure finally enters the conversational AI era — without you having to turn into a DevOps engineer.

Today we’re shipping two changes that, together, redefine how Impreza Host customers work with their servers: the fully revamped My Apps panel and the official impreza-mcp server — our MCP integration that connects Claude, Cursor, Codex, Continue, and Zed directly to your infrastructure.

The problem we set out to solve

Self-hosting has two hidden costs that most people feel but few people talk about:

1. Every app is a manual install — you spin up the VPS, install Docker, configure the reverse proxy, fight with Let’s Encrypt, edit .env files, open ports, point DNS. Do it for five apps and you’ve burned a Saturday.
2. When you want to ask an AI for help, it has no context — you paste commands into the terminal, copy logs into ChatGPT, paste responses back. The AI doesn’t know which server is yours, which app is running, what the status is, and it can’t act directly.

We fixed both.

My Apps: click, wait 2 minutes, it’s running

My Apps is the /imprezaapps.php panel completely rethought. Every Impreza customer with a server (VPS or dedicated) now has access to:

• A curated catalog of 10+ applications — Vaultwarden (password manager), Nextcloud (cloud storage), n8n (workflow automation), Gitea (self-hosted Git), Matrix Synapse (federated chat), SearXNG (meta-search), Activepieces, Memos, Uptime Kuma, OpenClaw — and growing.
• Automatic HTTPS via Let’s Encrypt, with a free domain at *.imprezaapps.com (or point your own).
• Optional Tor v3 hidden service — one click and your app gets a legitimate .onion address. Useful for restricted access, privacy, or routing without clearnet.
• Custom deployments — not in the catalog? Push any public Docker image, upload a local tarball with a Dockerfile, or point at a public Git repository. With auto-deploy webhooks, every git push triggers a redeploy automatically — no API call needed.

For Proxmox VPS customers this was already the default. Today we’re extending it to dedicated servers as well — our team installs the Impreza agent during manual provisioning, and when your bare-metal box shows up in your panel, it’s ready to deploy to as if it were a VPS.

MCP: your Claude and Cursor now operate your infrastructure

The most exciting new piece is impreza-mcp — our official Model Context Protocol server.

In practical terms: you paste one command into your terminal, and from then on your AI assistant can:

• List your servers and deployments
• Install apps from the catalog
• Deploy Docker images or Git repositories
• Read logs, restart containers, change domains
• Add an .onion mirror
• Connect auto-deploy webhooks

30-second setup:

npx -y impreza-mcp setup –tool claude-code

# or: cursor, codex, continue, zed

The wizard asks for your API key, configures the client, and you’re done. The next time you open Claude Code and say “deploy my project to my Impreza VPS”, it just does it. No leaving the editor. No copy-pasting.

This works because the MCP server runs locally on your machine and talks to the Impreza REST API using your own credentials. The AI never sees your API key — it just asks the MCP to execute the actions you authorized.

Don’t use AI? Still powerful

For traditional workflows:

• impreza CLI — single Go binary, Mac/Linux/Windows on amd64/arm64. impreza login once, then impreza deploy --follow from any directory with a Dockerfile.
• Public REST API — documented with OpenAPI 3.1 and an interactive Swagger UI at docs.imprezahost.com/api.html. Every endpoint ships with a curl example + Go SDK snippet.
• Webhooks — subscribe to deployment.*, agent.*, vps.*, dedicated.* events to wire Impreza into your existing pipelines.

The philosophy stays the same

All of this runs on top of the foundation we’ve always offered: dedicated VPSes (you own them, you don’t share them), multi-continent infrastructure (offshore and non-offshore side by side), crypto payments with no KYC, deployments that run 100% on your server (Impreza only orchestrates — the code and data are yours).

AI didn’t change any of that. It just made the path from “I bought a VPS” to “five apps are running” an order of magnitude faster.

Ready to try it?

• Existing customer? Sign in to portal.imprezahost.com and click My Apps in the sidebar. If you don’t have an agent installed yet, you’ll see a “Custom App” tile as the first option — click it and follow the curl one-liner.
• New customer? Grab a VPS at portal.imprezahost.com/offshore-vps-servers or a dedicated server at portal.imprezahost.com/dedicated-servers (or offshore-dedicated-servers for offshore jurisdictions). At checkout, pick “Impreza Agent” or “Agent + MCP for AI tools” and the agent comes pre-configured.
• Full documentation: docs.imprezahost.com — single-page guide, 10-minute read. Includes a llms.txt you can paste straight into any AI’s context to bring it up to speed on the entire Impreza platform.

Public repositories:

• impreza-mcp — npm: impreza-mcp
• impreza-devkit — Go SDK + CLI
• agent-public — the agent daemon

Welcome to the conversational infrastructure era. 🚀
