View Account Infrastructure Details

Need to check up on your billing or networking setup? Use `get_account` to pull general Vultr account info. You can also run `get_account_bgp` if you need the specific BGP information for your account. It's quick and dirty. The agent pulls this data directly into the chat window, letting you paste it straight into a ticket or report without touching a terminal.

Control Bare Metal Instances

Start or stop servers with a few commands. You can `create_bare_metal` when you need new capacity, and then use `start_bare_metal` or `halt_bare_metal` to manage existing ones. If things go sideways, don't sweat it. Running `reboot_bare_metal` gets the instance back up. It’s basically remote SSH management via your agent.

Manage Networking and Backups

Got a server that needs proper DNS? You can use `set_bare_metal_ipv4_reverse` to set the reverse lookup for IPv4. Don't forget about backups, either—the agent handles listing them with `list_backups` or retrieving specific ones using `get_backup`. This keeps your data clean and accessible right through Claude Desktop.
