Team-Wide Clever Cloud Access

The best part of this MCP server is the shared setup. Add the configuration to a `.vscode/mcp.json` file and commit it to your repository. Now everyone on your team automatically gets the same set of Clever Cloud tools in their editor. This is how you standardize operations. No more passing around shell scripts or wiki pages. When a new developer joins, they can immediately use Copilot to do things like `list_organization_applications` without any extra setup.

Run Ops from Copilot Chat

Open the Copilot Chat view and start managing your infrastructure with plain English. Asking 'Copilot, redeploy the staging app' will trigger the `trigger_deployment` tool. You can just as easily ask it to pull the latest logs using `get_application_logs`. Your chat panel becomes a command center for your Clever Cloud environment. Instead of memorizing commands or clicking through a UI, you just have a conversation with your agent about what you need done. It's a more natural way to work.

Automate App Setup with this MCP Server

You can use Copilot to bootstrap new services from scratch. Tell it to `create_application` with a specific name and instance type. Then, in the same conversation, ask it to `provision_addon` to attach a new database. This makes creating new environments for testing or development fast and repeatable. You define the sequence of operations in your prompt, and Copilot executes the API calls for you. It reduces manual errors and saves a ton of time.
