Independent review. IonBin has no partnership with Kinsta and was not paid for this page. Our evaluation is our own, based on public documentation and our research. Product names are trademarks of their owners and are used for identification only. How disclosure works.

Managed WordPress hosting with staging, backups, free migrations and a REST API in public beta. Kinsta has no hosted MCP server; its blog shows how to build one on the API. Application, database and static hosting moved to Sevalla.

Best for
  • WordPress sites that need managed performance
Not for
  • Static sites that a free host can serve

Top use cases

  • Automate site tasks such as cache clearing and plugin updates through the API source ↗
  • Move existing WordPress sites in with free migrations source ↗

In depth

Plans

Kinsta's entry WordPress plan, Single 20GB, is $350/year, which it says saves $70 against monthly billing; a first-month $0 promotion was shown. It includes 1 WordPress install, 20 GB bandwidth, 10 GB storage, 125 GB CDN bandwidth and 14-day backup retention. Extra sites are $30/month each. Checked 2026-10-17. source ↗

API scope

The API is in public beta and open to all Kinsta customers. Application, database and static site hosting endpoints are now provided only through the Sevalla API. source ↗

How to use it with AI

How Kinsta connects to each AI platform: native connector or MCP, API through code the agent writes, browser control, or file upload.

PlatformMCP / connectorAPI (agent-written code)BrowserUpload / export
Claude (incl. Claude Code) No documented route Confirmed Claude (incl. Claude Code) can run code; Kinsta publishes an API. Kinsta API ↗Claude (incl.

Google Antigravity No documented route Confirmed Google Antigravity can run code; Kinsta publishes an API. Kinsta API ↗Google Antigravity docs ↗ Confirmed Browser subagent via /browser, documented as an Antigravity App feature; the IDE has separate browser docs Google Antigravity browser docs ↗ Confirmed Export from Kinsta, then works on local projects and worktrees Google Antigravity docs ↗

Confirmed means both the tool's and the platform's official docs describe that route (links in the cell); IonBin has not tested every pairing. Not documented means it may work, but no official docs describe that route end to end. Checked Oct 17, 2026.
