About Northflank (Developer Cloud & Orchestration) MCP Server
Connect your Northflank account to any AI agent and take full control of your enterprise-grade developer platform, microservice orchestration, and continuous deployment through natural conversation.
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Northflank (Developer Cloud & Orchestration) data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
What you can do
- Infrastructure Orchestration — List all managed projects and retrieve detailed regional metadata, including geographical datacenter distributions (AWS, GCP, Azure) directly from your agent
- Service Management — Enumerate active application instances and retrieve precise structural anatomy, including CPU throttling and RAM allocation boundaries securely
- Live Build Injection — Manually trigger fresh CI builds to force-refresh production assets or verify recent code merges from linked VCS (GitHub, GitLab) without opening the UI
- Operational Control — Gracefully cycle container replicas for specific services to recycle transient memory accumulation and restore standard execution timings natively
- Background Job Audit — List and inspect isolated batch and cron-jobs to monitor periodically executing processes like heavy DB aggregations or security scans
- Security & Secret Audit — Access metadata for logical secret groups (vaults) to verify environment variable mappings like
.envorDATABASE_URLacross VPC boundaries - Resource Provisioning — Initialize fresh isolated project spaces or permanently tear down entire microservice ecosystems with irreversible architectural commands
The Northflank (Developer Cloud & Orchestration) MCP Server exposes 10 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.

Northflank (Developer Cloud & Orchestration) MCP Tools for VS Code Copilot (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Northflank (Developer Cloud & Orchestration) to VS Code Copilot via MCP:
create_project
Directly assigns the fundamental cloud region routing ingress requests, acting as a crucial first step in any IaC bootstrapping sequence. Provision a brand new isolated Northflank Project space
delete_project
Eliminates the Northflank project boundary entirely, severing traffic routing, killing active cron-jobs, and dropping ephemeral node.js/python backend service processes executing memory. Permanently tear down a Project and all cascading microservices
get_project
Correlates global resource restrictions backing subsequent application microservice pipelines. Examine deeper regional metadata for a Northflank Project
get_service
Useful for assessing horizontal scaling needs and verifying external domain SSL associations. Retrieve the exact structural anatomy of a single Service
list_jobs
Enumerate isolated Batch and Cron Jobs within a Project
list_projects
Fetches mandatory Project IDs. List Northflank top-level organizational Projects
list_secrets
env`, `DATABASE_URL`) that subsequently map down into running services or jobs across the Northflank VPC isolation boundaries. List Secret Group dictionaries injecting into the environments
list_services
Delineates distinct Service IDs representing either Dockerized builds or native buildpack-based GitHub auto-deploy endpoints. List explicit application/microservice instances inside a Project
restart_service
Recycles transient RAM accumulation restoring standard execution timings. Gracefully cycle container replicas for a specific Service
trigger_build
Command Northflank builders to compile and deploy latest code
