Deploy an App, Build a VPS, and Point Your Domain in One Request
2026-07-25 · OSIR Team
Summary: Putting a site online normally takes four jobs: order a server, install an operating system, deploy your code, and point your domain at it. With an AI assistant connected to the OSIR MCP server, you can ask for all four in one sentence. This assumes you already have something to deploy: a simple HTML site, a Node.js application, or a PHP application. Server plans and prices are on our VPS page.
The short version
Connect your assistant once, then type something like this:
"Order a small VPS in the US, deploy my app, and point mydomain.com at it."
That is the whole instruction. There is no control panel to click through, no SSH commands to type by hand, and no separate trip to your domain settings once the server is up.
What actually happens
Your assistant is not improvising here. It runs real registrar operations in a fixed order, and it tells you what it is doing at each step, so you can follow along rather than watch a progress bar.
It starts by finding a server package that matches what you asked for and registering an SSH key, so the deploy has a way in later. It then picks the operating system image for that plan, puts the order together, and shows it to you with the price before anything is bought. Once you confirm, the server is ordered, built, and handed over to your code.
| # | Step | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Look up plans | Finds a server package matching your request, at the rates on our VPS page |
| 2 | Add an SSH key | Registers a key so the deploy can log in to the server |
| 3 | Pick the operating system | Finds the right OS image for that plan |
| 4 | Prepare the order | Puts the order together and shows it to you with the price |
| 5 | Order the server | Buys it once you confirm |
| 6 | Build the server | Installs the operating system |
| 7 | Deploy your app | Pushes your code onto the finished server |
| 8 | Point your domain | Creates the DNS records so visitors reach the new server |
Ordering and building are two different things, and the difference is worth knowing: ordering allocates the machine, while building installs the operating system on it, which is Ubuntu unless you ask for something else. The server itself is bought in seconds, and the operating system usually installs in well under a minute, with your assistant waiting for the build to finish rather than pretending it is ready.
The last step is the domain, and it is the easiest one. If you registered the name with us it is already sitting on our nameservers, ns1.osir.com and ns3.osir.com, so there is nothing for you to change and your assistant simply adds the records that send visitors to the new server.
What you need first
- An OSIR account with enough balance to cover the server. Top up first, and check the plan price on the VPS page so you know the amount.
- A domain on our nameservers, either registered with us or transferred in.
Nothing to install.
Connecting your assistant
- In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors.
- Click Add custom connector.
- Name it OSIR.
- Enter the remote MCP server URL:
https://be.osir.com/mcp/http - Save, then sign in with your OSIR account.
The same URL works in Cursor, Windsurf, and any client supporting a remote MCP server. Setup notes are on the MCP server page.
It is not only servers
The same connection exposes 100 tools covering the whole registrar. Once it is set up you can also ask your assistant to check whether a name is free and register it, manage DNS records, turn on auto renew, renew the domains expiring this month, or look up an invoice or your balance. Domain rates for every extension are on the pricing page.
Do not have a domain yet? Ask your assistant to find one. It searches what is available, registers the name you pick, and the domain arrives already on our nameservers, ready to point at your server.

FAQ
What happens if the operating system fails to install?
Build the server again. That is free and can be retried as often as needed. Never order a second server to recover from a failed build, because it charges you twice and leaves the first one unused.
Do I need to know Linux to use this?
Not for the setup. Ordering, installing the operating system, and pointing your domain all happen through the conversation.
Do I need to set up DNS myself?
No. Point the domain at ns1.osir.com and ns3.osir.com, and your assistant creates and updates the records for you. Domains registered with us are already on those nameservers.
How much does a server cost?
Plans, sizes, and current prices are listed on the VPS page. Your assistant reads the same catalogue, so the price it quotes is the price you see there.
Try it
Connect the MCP server, pick a plan on the VPS page, then ask your assistant for a server and a domain to point at it.
