Three steps. You'll be done in two minutes.

The file handles the hard part. Just tell your AI what you need.

1

Grab your file.

Log in to your dashboard and hit the Bring to Local button. Your config file downloads right away with all your credentials already filled in.

2

Drop it in a folder.

Save it anywhere on your computer and rename it to CLAUDE.md. It has your server credentials, SSH key setup, and every command your AI will need.

3

Start talking to it.

Open Claude Code in that folder and ask for what you want. "Create an email account." "Update all my plugins." "Add a DNS record." The file already taught your AI how to do all of it.

Everything your AI needs. All in one file.

Your server details are already filled in. It works the second you download it.

Server Credentials

Your DirectAdmin login, SSH hostname, port, username, and password. Already filled in. You never have to look anything up.

SSH Key Setup

Walk-through for generating and uploading an SSH key. After the first setup, your AI connects to the server without asking for a password.

WordPress and WP-CLI

Every WP-CLI command your AI will reach for. Plugins, themes, users, database queries, search-replace, maintenance mode, and WooCommerce.

DirectAdmin API

Every DA API endpoint with working examples. Email, DNS, databases, file manager, SSL, cron jobs, subdomains, backups. Copy-paste ready.

Email and DNS

Commands for creating mailboxes, setting up forwarders, adding MX records, configuring SPF and DKIM, and managing your DNS. Ready to run.

Documentation Links

Links to DirectAdmin docs, WP-CLI handbook, WooCommerce REST API, and LiteSpeed Cache docs. When your AI needs more detail, it knows where to look.

Works with any AI coding assistant.

Paste this prompt to connect

I have a hosting account for managed through EasWrk (DirectAdmin). The CLAUDE.md file in this directory contains all the SSH credentials, server details, and DA API commands I need. Please read it and connect to my server. Start by listing the files in public_html to confirm the connection works, then tell me what you see on the site. IMPORTANT SAFETY RULE: Before editing or overwriting ANY file, you MUST create a backup copy first (e.g. cp filename.php filename.php.bak). This applies to every file — PHP, HTML, CSS, .htaccess, wp-config.php, theme files, plugin files, everything. Never skip this step. If something goes wrong, I need to be able to restore the original.

Copy prompt

Built-in guardrails

The prompt above includes safety rules that tell your AI to:

Back up every file before editing. If anything breaks, you can restore the original.
Read before writing. The AI checks what exists before making changes.
Stay in your account. The AI uses your DA permissions only. No root access, no other accounts.
Every action is logged. DirectAdmin records all API calls and file changes on the server.

Frequently asked questions.

What can I do with Bring to Local?
Pretty much anything you'd do in your hosting panel. Create email accounts, update WordPress plugins, manage DNS, build pages, set up SSL, run database queries, add cron jobs, check error logs, fix permissions. The file covers all the everyday stuff.
Is it safe?
Yes. Your credentials live in a file on your computer and never get uploaded anywhere. You decide what your AI does. The file tells the AI to back things up before making changes and to revert if something goes wrong. Every DirectAdmin action gets logged on the server too.
Do I need technical knowledge?
Not at all. You type what you want in plain English. The AI reads the file and figures out the SSH connections, API calls, and commands on its own. Something like "Create an email for sales@mystore.com" is all you need to say.
Does it cost extra?
Nope. It comes with every EasWrk hosting plan. The download button shows up on your product page as soon as your account is active.
What is a CLAUDE.md file?
It's a markdown file that gives your AI context about a project. Put it in a folder, open Claude Code, and the AI reads it automatically. It picks up your hosting environment, credentials, and all the commands it can run.
Can I use it with ChatGPT or Cursor?
Absolutely. It's just a markdown file. Paste it into ChatGPT, load it as context in Cursor, or feed it to any AI tool that reads project docs. Claude Code picks it up from the folder on its own.
What if I change my password?
Just download a fresh copy from your dashboard. It generates on demand with your current credentials. And if you set up an SSH key (the file walks you through it), you won't need the password at all.
Does my AI get root access to the server?
No. Your AI logs in with the same DirectAdmin account you use. It can manage your files, databases, emails, and DNS, but it can't touch other accounts, change server settings, or run system-level commands. Same permissions you already have.
