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.
