How to Use the UpCloud MCP in Cline

Q: Can I use UpCloud with Cline to set up a full deployment?

Yes. Write a script that uses createkubernetescluster for the backbone, then uses listloadbalancers to attach the front end. Cline runs this entire sequence and lets you stage the resulting infrastructure changes.

Q: Is managing billing data possible with UpCloud via Cline?

Yes. You can write scripts that call getbillingsummary to pull financial metrics. The output is then available for you to process, report on, or use in subsequent development steps.

Build, test, and commit infrastructure code directly in VS Code. Cline runs tasks against the UpCloud MCP Server.

Infrastructure as Code with Cline

You write shell scripts or component definitions that interact with UpCloud resources via `create_server` and networking tools. Need a new environment? Write code to call `create_network`, then use the output IP range in your script when running `create_server`. Cline handles the entire execution pipeline—from calling the tool via an API wrapper, getting the resource ID, and using that ID in subsequent steps. It makes infrastructure management part of your local dev loop.

Managing Credentials with Cline

Don't hardcode secrets. Your code can use tools like `list_api_tokens` to check existing credentials or run a controlled process to create new ones using `create_api_token`. This keeps your repository clean and ensures that all infrastructure interactions are token-gated. Cline makes managing these tokens part of the commit flow.

State Management with MCP Server

If you need to ensure a resource exists before running tests, use `get_server` in your script first. This checks if the server is up and configured correctly for your specific task. Cline uses this feedback loop: check state -> modify configuration using `update_server` -> run test -> commit diff. The MCP Server makes the whole process deterministic.

Setup guide

Set up UpCloud MCP in Cline

Prerequisites

VS Code with Cline extension installed
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open Cline MCP settings

Click the Cline icon in the VS Code sidebar to open the Cline panel. Then click the MCP Servers icon (server stack) at the top-right corner of the panel.
2

Add a remote server

Click "Remote Servers" at the top, then click "Add Remote MCP". In the Name field, type upcloud-mcp. In the URL field, paste your Vinkius endpoint: https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp. Get your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable the server

After saving, the server appears in the Cline MCP panel. Toggle the switch to enable it. The status indicator turns green when the connection is live.
4

Start using tools

Return to the Cline chat and ask: "Check my latest UpCloud refund status." Cline will discover the available tools and request your approval before invoking each one — giving you full control over every action.

Common questions about UpCloud MCP in Cline

Cline treats UpCloud like any other API endpoint within your local codebase. You write code that calls the tools, and Cline executes them end-to-end inside VS Code's environment.

Yes. Write a script that uses `create_kubernetes_cluster` for the backbone, then uses `list_load_balancers` to attach the front end. Cline runs this entire sequence and lets you stage the resulting infrastructure changes.

You handle infrastructure types, specifically IP addresses (`list_ips`), server configurations, storage objects, and database service definitions. Your code dictates what gets read or written.

Yes. You can write scripts that call `get_billing_summary` to pull financial metrics. The output is then available for you to process, report on, or use in subsequent development steps.

The MCP Server touches account audit logs. You can write specific code to `list_audit_logs` and analyze resource access patterns before committing your changes, ensuring compliance checks are automated.
