Unit 7 is a free, self-hosted control room for your servers, Coolify apps, domains, databases and backups. Talk to it in plain words, or let Claude Code or Cursor use it over MCP. It does the work on your real servers and asks before anything risky. Your keys stay encrypted on your machine, and the AI only sees a reference. One button checks that everything is OK, with no AI. Backups go off the server and get test-restored. Open source, Apache 2.0. Early, so expect rough edges.

Could you build this?
Yes It is a self-hosted control panel that wraps existing server, Coolify, DNS, and database APIs over SSH, and exposes them through an MCP server. Encryption and confirmation prompts are standard patterns.
