Perplexity

Full machine lifecycle control

Control your entire production fleet without leaving the Claude Desktop window. You can trigger `start_machine` or `stop_machine` calls to handle traffic spikes or investigate service logs. Use `list_machines` to get an immediate snapshot of your current state. If a node hangs, `suspend_machine` or `delete_machine` lets you clean up the mess instantly.

Automated volume management

Expand storage capacity before your databases hit a wall. When disk usage peaks, call `extend_volume` to bump your limits on the fly. Need to inspect data persistence? Use `list_volumes` and `get_volume` to audit your attached storage. It keeps your infrastructure state transparent and ready for action.

Certificate and app deployment

Provision your web presence without manual API requests. Run `create_acme_certificate` to secure your endpoints using Let's Encrypt immediately. Check status with `get_certificate` to avoid downtime. You manage your entire app stack configuration through this MCP Server directly in your conversation history.
