Open Source

Free and open source. Always.

HostKit is MIT licensed. There is no paid tier, no premium features, no enterprise edition.

What you need to run HostKit

  • A VPS (Ubuntu 22.04+)

    Any provider: Hetzner, DigitalOcean, Linode, AWS EC2, etc.

  • SSH access

    Root or sudo access to configure the server

  • Python 3.10+

    Required for the HostKit CLI

  • An MCP-compatible AI agent

    Claude Code, Cursor, or any agent supporting Model Context Protocol

Future: Managed hosting

We may offer a managed HostKit service in the future for those who want the benefits without managing a VPS. The open-source version will always remain free and fully featured.
