How to Use the UpCloud MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How can I check UpCloud billing details using VS Code Copilot?

Just use the getbillingsummary tool. It pulls up your monthly costs directly into the chat window, letting you review spending without leaving VS Code.

Q: Does the UpCloud MCP Server support checking server status in Copilot?

Yeah, run listservers to see all active servers. If you need deep diagnostics on one machine, the agent calls getserver for the full report.

Q: If I need my account logs with UpCloud in Copilot, how do I proceed?

Start by calling listauditlogs. This gives you a list of actions. For a complete history, run exportauditlogs.

Q: What resources can the UpCloud MCP Server manage via VS Code Copilot?

It controls everything from creating databases (createdatabase) to setting up load balancers (createloadbalancer), and managing entire Kubernetes clusters with listkubernetesclusters.

System Lifecycle Management

Managing your cloud stack is simple. Use `list_servers` to see every server you own, then call `get_server` for detailed specs. If a machine is down, run `start_server`. Need it off? Call `stop_server`. If the config needs tweaking, use `update_server` to modify its settings directly from your Copilot chat.

Storage and Data Management

The server handles storage with multiple tools. Start by running `list_storages` to see available buckets. To save a copy, use `backup_storage`, then restore it later with `restore_storage`. Developers also use `create_object_storage` to spin up new services and `import_storage` to populate them.

Network Architecture Setup

Building connectivity is handled by specific tools. Run `list_networks` to view existing SDN private networks. Then, you can deploy a brand new one using `create_network`. For IP management, use `list_ips` and then grab an address with `assign_ip`. This ensures your services have unique IPs.

Setup guide

Set up UpCloud MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
2

Add the UpCloud MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into your .vscode/mcp.json. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.
4

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the UpCloud tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent UpCloud transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "upcloud-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
