About Modal (Serverless AI Infrastructure) MCP Server
Connect your Modal account to any AI agent and take full control of your high-performance AI infrastructure, serverless GPU deployments, and persistent storage through natural conversation.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Modal (Serverless AI Infrastructure) data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 7 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- App Orchestration — List isolated active and historical Modal app contexts to track function execution states and resource allocation directly from your agent
- Deployment Management — Enumerate promoted long-running deployments and retrieve detailed web endpoints and serving configurations securely
- Operational Control — Force stop actively running Modal app executions gracefully via App ID to prevent unnecessary billing cycles and manage system resources natively
- Security & Secret Audit — List stored secret dictionary references and verify environment variable mappings attached to your serverless functions securely
- Storage Visibility — Monitor persisted disk network block volumes and data mount directories used across your distributed compute instances
- Infrastructure Inspection — Deep-dive into specific App or Deployment IDs to retrieve precise JSON metadata representing your infrastructure's current state vectors
The Modal (Serverless AI Infrastructure) MCP Server exposes 7 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
