## About
BorealHost.ai is a Canadian web hosting provider built for both humans and AI agents.
Shared hosting plans place several sites in one container. Plans with a dedicated container provide a container for the customer. Access permissions and resource limits depend on the plan. KVM plans provide a virtual machine, with no container layer.
Automatic SSL, daily backups of sites and databases, and built-in AI modules (SEO, Translation, Content Generation).
Fully bilingual French/English. PIPEDA/LPRPDE compliant. Hosted in Quebec, Canada.

## Agent-assisted workflow
1. Create an identity through BorealHost ID, then create a key in the panel
2. Browse plans: GET /api/v1/plans/
3. Create checkout: POST /api/v1/acp/checkouts/ {"sku":"bh_site_starter_monthly"}
4. Set buyer info: POST /api/v1/acp/checkouts/{id}/update/ {"buyer_email":"...", "requested_slug":"..."}
5. Pay: POST /api/v1/acp/checkouts/{id}/complete/ {"payment_method":"stripe_checkout"}
6. Poll: GET /api/v1/acp/checkouts/{id}/ until status is "completed"

## Already have a plan? Check for a free slot before buying
Most plans include several sites — site_starter 5, site_plus 8, site_pro 12.
POST /api/v1/sites/add/ {"subscription_id": "...", "slug": "..."} uses one,
at no extra cost. Sites under ONE subscription share one CPU pool, one disk
quota and one rate-limit bucket; a second subscription splits that budget, so
the customer pays twice for capacity they already had.

## Authentication
- set_api_key() via MCP → activate an existing key in the session
- Challenge-response claim (agents running ON a site's own container,
  and only where that container holds no other customer):
  1. request_api_key("slug") → writes a claim token into that container
  2. Read the token at the per-site path returned in `claim_path`
  3. claim_api_key(token) → returns site-scoped API key
- Bought a site from ELSEWHERE? The claim flow cannot help — you cannot read
  a file on a machine you are not on, and it will return a "pending" that
  never resolves. Poll the checkout that paid for it instead:
  GET /api/v1/acp/checkouts/{id}/ hands over that site's key, over HTTP.
- Keys can be account-level (all sites) or site-scoped (one site only)
- Site-scoped keys support per-tool permissions (disable specific tools)
- Panel → Account → API Access to create/revoke keys with scope controls
