Connect UpCloud MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect UpCloud to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Automated Infrastructure Setup with Windsurf
Windsurf figures out the whole deployment process for you, chaining multiple actions into one goal. Want a secure web stack? You tell it to set up a server and block off ports; it handles running `create_server`, `create_network`, and `create_firewall_rule` automatically. It doesn't stop when the first step is done. Cascade reads context, plans the whole sequence (like getting an IP via `list_ips` then assigning it with `assign_ip`), executes everything, and shows you the final result. You just set the goal.
Database Management for Windsurf
Need to spin up a database cluster? Windsurf manages the whole lifecycle without prompting you after every step. It can look at `list_database_types` first, figure out the right plan, and then run `create_database` on your behalf. This is useful for multi-stage deployments where you need to confirm parameters across several services. You define the requirement, and Windsurf handles the calls needed to provision the managed database instance.
Storage Backup and Restoration with MCP Server
If your data changes, Windsurf can roll back the entire system state. It finds a backup using `list_storages` and then executes `restore_storage` to bring everything back online. It also handles cloning resources. If you need a safe copy of an environment before testing new code, just ask it to run `clone_storage`. The MCP Server manages the entire data flow.
