# Scaleway MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Scaleway MCP lets you manage your cloud infrastructure using natural language. You can list, create, power on, power off, and terminate virtual instances across different zones directly from your AI agent. It handles the heavy lifting of interacting with the Scaleway Instances API, making it easy to spin up dev environments or audit your active resources without switching tabs. ## Overview - **Category:** developer-tools - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_XJWsZ3bZ7I9Vl6rQNKAEWd5tRAFPxiF1gRM2OkF1/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** cloud-computing, virtual-machines, bare-metal, infrastructure-as-code, server-management ## Description This Connector lets you manage your Scaleway cloud infrastructure using natural language. It gives you direct access to the Scaleway Instances API so you can handle your VM lifecycle without switching tabs. Managing cloud infrastructure usually means juggling multiple browser tabs, hunting for specific instance IDs, and clicking through complex dashboards just to reboot a VM or check a status. It's a friction-filled process that breaks your flow. With this Connector, you just tell your agent what needs to happen. You can spin up a staging box or power down a dev instance in a single sentence, getting your work done without the manual overhead. You get the ability to audit your resources, manage power states, and provision new instances on the fly. It's a much faster way to handle the day-to-day grind of cloud management. By connecting this through the Vinkius catalog, you're putting the full power of the Scaleway Instances API into your workspace, making infrastructure management feel like a natural part of your workflow rather than a chore. Instead of navigating a complex web UI to find a specific resource in a specific zone like fr-par-1, you can just ask your agent to do the heavy lifting. This means you spend less time on the "how" of cloud management and more time on the actual work of building and deploying. Whether you are managing production workloads or just clearing out old dev environments, this Connector puts the controls right where you work. ## Tools ### create_instance Create a new Scaleway instance with your chosen name, image ID, and commercial type like DEV1-S. This allows you to spin up new resources without manual console entry. ### list_instances Show all your virtual machines currently residing in a specific availability zone. This helps you audit your resources and find specific instance IDs quickly. ### perform_instance_action Send commands like poweron, poweroff, or reboot to a specific VM. This is useful for quickly managing the power state of your active infrastructure. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` List my instances in the Paris zone. ``` **Response:** ``` I've retrieved your instances in fr-par-1. You have 2 active VMs: | Name | ID | Status | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | web-prod-01 | ...213 | Running | | db-master | ...442 | Running | ``` **Prompt:** ``` Create a new DEV1-S instance named 'staging-app' in fr-par-1 using the Ubuntu image. ``` **Response:** ``` I am initiating the creation of 'staging-app' (DEV1-S) in fr-par-1. The request has been sent to Scaleway, and the instance is now being provisioned. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Reboot the instance with ID 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000 in nl-ams-1. ``` **Response:** ``` The reboot command has been successfully sent to the instance in nl-ams-1. It should be restarting now. ``` ## Capabilities ### List active VMs across zones See all your virtual machines in specific availability zones with a simple request. ### Spin up new instances Create new VMs with specific names, image IDs, and commercial types using plain text. ### Remotely power on or off VMs Control the power state of your instances without opening a browser. ### Reboot instances Send a reboot command to a specific VM to clear up issues or perform maintenance. ### Terminate old resources Delete instances that are no longer needed to keep your cloud spend in check. ## Use Cases ### Emergency Reboot A VM hangs in the Paris zone. You tell your agent to reboot the specific ID to get it back online immediately. ### Dev Environment Setup A new hire needs a staging box. You ask the agent to create a DEV1-S instance with an Ubuntu image in fr-par-1. ### Cost Audit At the end of the month, you ask the agent to list all instances in every zone to find and delete zombie resources. ### Rapid Scaling You need to spin up three more instances in the Amsterdam zone to handle a sudden traffic spike. ## Benefits - Stop hunting for instance IDs by using `list_instances` to see everything in a zone instantly. - Spin up new environments faster with `create_instance` without leaving your IDE or chat. - Handle emergency reboots or power cycles quickly using `perform_instance_action`. - Keep your cloud spend in check by terminating unused resources through simple text commands. - Audit your global infrastructure across multiple zones in seconds instead of clicking through menus. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get direct, conversational control over your Scaleway cloud resources. 1. Subscribe to the Scaleway MCP on Vinkius and grab your Secret Key. 2. Add your key to your AI client's configuration. 3. Start asking your agent to list, create, or manage your VMs in plain English. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Can I use the Scaleway MCP to manage my whole account?** This Connector is specifically designed for managing virtual instances. It handles listing, creating, and controlling the power states of your VMs. **How do I connect Scaleway MCP to Claude or Cursor?** You just need to subscribe to the Connector on Vinkius and add your Scaleway Secret Key to your AI client's configuration. **Can I reboot VMs with this Connector?** Yes, you can send reboot commands to specific instances using natural language, which is great for clearing up hangs or performing maintenance. **Does Scaleway MCP support multiple zones?** Yes, it allows you to interact with instances across various availability zones like fr-par-1 and nl-ams-1. **Can I create specific VM types with Scaleway MCP?** Yes, you can specify commercial types like DEV1-S when asking your agent to provision new instances. **How do I see my servers in a specific region like Paris?** Use the `list_instances` tool and provide the zone parameter (e.g., 'fr-par-1'). The agent will return a list of all instances currently provisioned in that specific Scaleway zone. **Can I reboot or shut down a server using this integration?** Yes! The `perform_instance_action` tool allows you to send 'poweron', 'poweroff', 'reboot', or 'terminate' commands to any specific server ID within a zone. **What information is needed to create a new instance?** To use `create_instance`, you need to provide the zone, a name for the server, the commercial type (e.g., 'DEV1-S'), and the image ID or label you wish to deploy.
