Automate Server Setup and Management with MCP Server

Windsurf's Cascade reads your goal, then figures out the multi-step process. Need a new server? You tell it to provision one, and Cascade chains together `create_bare_metal`, `start_bare_metal`, and possibly even `set_bare_metal_ipv4_reverse` automatically. It handles the whole flow without needing you to prompt for each step. Just set the objective, and your agent executes it using the Vultr MCP Server.

Audit Infrastructure Status

Check what's running and how much storage space you have. The agent can list all existing bare metal instances via `list_bare_metals`, giving you a quick inventory. You can then pull details on specific assets, like checking the IPv6 address with `get_bare_metal_ipv6`. It's perfect for audits. Cascade pulls the data points and presents them in context, so you don't have to run three separate commands.

Manage Credentials and Resources

Handling credentials shouldn't be painful. You can ask Windsurf to list existing keys using `list_api_keys`, or generate a fresh one with `create_api_key`. This lets your agent manage sensitive resources right inside the IDE. It also keeps tabs on billing and account details, letting you run `get_account` whenever you need confirmation of your current usage limits.

Setup guide

Set up Vultr MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the Vultr MCP

Paste the JSON snippet shown on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Vultr payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Vultr tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about Vultr MCP in Windsurf

Windsurf connects to the Vultr MCP Server and reads all available tools. You set a high-level goal, like 'make my server accessible,' and Cascade figures out if it needs to call `start_bare_metal` or `set_bare_metal_ipv4_reverse` itself.

Yeah, that's its whole deal. It doesn't just run one command; it plans a sequence of actions. For example, starting an instance and then immediately backing it up using `get_backup`—it handles the handoffs.

The server exposes operational data like bare metal IP addresses (`get_bare_metal_ipv4`), account info, and resource lists. You're getting direct access to the core infrastructure tools.

The limits depend on your subscription, but the MCP Server manages actions directly through the Vultr API. It ensures all operations—from `halt_bare_metal` to listing apps—are routed correctly.

This server primarily touches account configuration data and resource identifiers, including API keys and bare metal IP addresses. It manages operational metadata about your infrastructure.
