EQVPS — rent and manage a VPS for your agent

EQVPS is a hosting provider with a programmatic, agent-friendly API and MCP server. Use this skill when the user asks to spin up, deploy, list, or manage a virtual private server (VPS) — e.g. to host a bot, a website, a script, or any workload that needs to run somewhere persistent.

This is a paid third-party service. Servers are billed from a prepaid account balance. The user funds the balance (card or stablecoin). The agent must show prices and get the user's explicit confirmation before any paid action, and must never spend beyond the funded balance.

Setup (one time)

EQVPS exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Add it to your openclaw.json so its tools become available, then restart the OpenClaw gateway:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "eqvps": { "url": "https://mcp.eqvps.com/mcp" }
  }
}

It is a Streamable HTTP MCP server; if your OpenClaw version needs an explicit transport/type field, see the OpenClaw MCP docs. Once connected, the EQVPS tools (register_account, login, get_balance, topup_balance, list_plans, order_vps, list_vps, get_vps_status, power_vps, reinstall_vps, set_hostname, reset_password, cancel_service) appear automatically. Each tool describes its own input fields — read them before calling.

Workflow

1. Account. If EQVPS_API_TOKEN is set, you already have an account — go to step 3. Otherwise call register_account (email), store the returned token, and tell the user to save it as EQVPS_API_TOKEN for next time.
2. Funds. Call get_balance. If it is too low for the chosen plan, call topup_balance — it returns payment details (stablecoin or card). Tell the user the amount, let them complete and confirm payment, and do not proceed until the balance reflects it.
3. Plan. Call list_plans and show the user the options with prices. There are two kinds: NAT (shared IP, SSH over a port — cheapest, good for bots/agents) and dedicated-IP (own IP, all ports — for sites/mail). Confirm the choice and that the user accepts the cost.
4. Deploy. Call order_vps with the chosen plan and OS. This draws from the balance.
5. Access. Call get_vps_status for the IP, SSH port, and root credentials once provisioning completes. Give these to the user and treat credentials as secret.
6. Manage. Use power_vps (start/stop/reboot), reinstall_vps, set_hostname, reset_password, list_vps. Use cancel_service to stop billing a server no longer needed.

Rules

• Always show the price and get explicit user confirmation before topup_balance and before order_vps. Money actions are never silent.
• Never order a server the balance cannot cover.
• Treat API tokens and root credentials as secrets: show them to the user, do not log or post them anywhere else.
• If the user only wants information (plans, status, balance), do not place any order.
