Overview

Go SDK, CLI, and MCP server for managing BandwagonHost (KiwiVM) VPS, with command-line and programmatic access to most features.

Installation

Prerequisites: Go 1.24+; KiwiVM VEID and API key.

# CLI or MCP
go install github.com/strahe/bwh/cmd/bwh@latest

# Go SDK
go get github.com/strahe/bwh

Quick Start

# Configure your VPS
bwh node add production --api-key <API_KEY> --veid <VEID>

# Basic operations
bwh info                              # View server details
bwh start/stop/restart                # Power management
bwh usage --period 7d                 # Check usage statistics
bwh snapshot create "backup-name"     # Create snapshots
bwh iso images                        # List available ISO images
bwh iso mount ubuntu-20.04.iso        # Mount ISO for rescue/install
bwh ipv6 add                          # Assign new IPv6 /64 subnet
bwh ipv6 list                         # List IPv6 subnets
bwh pi info                           # Show private IPv4 info (alias of `private-ip info`)
bwh connect                           # SSH connection

# Keep BWH CLI up to date
bwh update                            # Check and install updates
bwh update --check                    # Only check for updates

# Explore more commands: bwh --help

Multi-Instance Support

# Add multiple VPS instances
bwh node add prod --api-key <KEY> --veid <VEID>
bwh node add dev --api-key <KEY> --veid <VEID>

# Target specific instance or set default
bwh --instance prod info
bwh node set-default prod

# View all options: bwh node --help

Go SDK

import (
    "context"
    "log"
    "github.com/strahe/bwh/pkg/client"
)

// Initialize client
c := client.NewClient("your-api-key", "your-veid")
ctx := context.Background()

// Get server information
info, err := c.GetServiceInfo(ctx)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

// Power management
err = c.Start(ctx)                    // Start VPS
err = c.Stop(ctx)                     // Stop VPS
err = c.Restart(ctx)                  // Restart VPS

// Monitoring
usage, err := c.GetRawUsageStats(ctx) // Usage statistics
live, err := c.GetLiveServiceInfo(ctx) // Real-time status

// Backup management
snapshot, err := c.CreateSnapshot(ctx, "backup-name")
backups, err := c.ListBackups(ctx)

Available Methods

Server Management: GetServiceInfo, GetLiveServiceInfo, Start, Stop, Restart, Kill, SetHostname, ReinstallOS, ResetRootPassword, MountISO, UnmountISO

Monitoring: GetRawUsageStats, GetBasicServiceInfo, audit log access

Backup & Recovery: CreateSnapshot, RestoreSnapshot, DeleteSnapshot, backup management

Migration: GetMigrateLocations, StartMigration (use StartMigrationWithTimeout for custom timeouts)

Network: SSH key management, IP/reverse DNS configuration, IPv6 subnet management, private IPv4 management

MCP Server Integration

BWH includes a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables secure AI integration with your VPS management workflows.

Start MCP Server

bwh mcp serve

Configuration

The BWH MCP server integrates seamlessly with various AI tools and editors. Add the appropriate configuration to your MCP client:

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bwh": {
      "command": "bwh",
      "args": ["mcp", "serve"]
    }
  }
}
Claude Code
claude mcp add bwh -- bwh mcp serve
Cursor

Add to your Cursor MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bwh": {
      "command": "bwh",
      "args": ["mcp", "serve"]
    }
  }
}
Continue (VS Code Extension)

Add to your Continue configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bwh": {
      "transport": {
        "type": "stdio",
        "command": "bwh",
        "args": ["mcp", "serve"]
      }
    }
  }
}

Configuration Notes

  • Custom Config: Use --config /path/to/config.yaml to specify a config file
  • Multiple Instances: The server automatically uses your default instance from configuration
  • Integration: Add to existing MCP config files without replacing other servers

Available MCP Tools (Read-only)

  • instance_list: List all configured instances with metadata (no parameters)
  • vps_info_get: Get VPS information (instance?, compact?, live?)
  • vps_usage_get: Get usage statistics (instance?, period?, days?, group_by?)
  • snapshot_list: List snapshots (instance?, sticky_only?, name_contains?, sort_by?, order?, limit?)
  • backup_list: List backups (instance?, os_contains?, since?, until?, sort_by?, order?, limit?)
  • vps_audit_get: Get audit logs (instance?, since?, until?, limit?, ip_contains?, type?)
  • iso_list: List available and mounted ISO images (instance?)

All MCP tools are safe, read-only operations that won't modify your VPS configuration or data.
