# Official sources

Use this reference only when you need source grounding for Hetzner Cloud service behavior or the detailed source list.

## Hetzner Cloud documentation

Use these as starting points, not as proof of the user's live Hetzner project state:

- https://docs.hetzner.com/cloud/ — Hetzner Cloud product documentation (authoritative)
- https://docs.hetzner.com/cloud/api/getting-started/generating-api-token/ — API token generation and project scoping
- https://docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/ — server management, types, and lifecycle
- https://docs.hetzner.com/cloud/firewalls/ — Firewall rules, attachment, and behavior
- https://docs.hetzner.com/cloud/servers/getting-started/creating-a-server/ — server creation flow including public IP opt-in
- https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/ — Robot API for dedicated servers (separate from Cloud API)
- https://github.com/hetznercloud/hcloud-python — hcloud-python SDK (official)

## Grounding rule

Official documentation explains Hetzner Cloud service behavior. It does not prove the user's current project state, resource counts, quota headroom, IP assignments, or operational status. Prefer live Hetzner MCP or user-provided sanitized evidence for current-state claims.
