What is the Northflank (Developer Cloud & Orchestration) MCP Server?
Connect your Northflank account to any AI agent and take full control of your enterprise-grade developer platform, microservice orchestration, and continuous deployment through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Infrastructure Orchestration — List all managed projects and retrieve detailed regional metadata, including geographical datacenter distributions (AWS, GCP, Azure) directly from your agent
- Service Management — Enumerate active application instances and retrieve precise structural anatomy, including CPU throttling and RAM allocation boundaries securely
- Live Build Injection — Manually trigger fresh CI builds to force-refresh production assets or verify recent code merges from linked VCS (GitHub, GitLab) without opening the UI
- Operational Control — Gracefully cycle container replicas for specific services to recycle transient memory accumulation and restore standard execution timings natively
- Background Job Audit — List and inspect isolated batch and cron-jobs to monitor periodically executing processes like heavy DB aggregations or security scans
- Security & Secret Audit — Access metadata for logical secret groups (vaults) to verify environment variable mappings like
.envorDATABASE_URLacross VPC boundaries - Resource Provisioning — Initialize fresh isolated project spaces or permanently tear down entire microservice ecosystems with irreversible architectural commands
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Northflank API Token
- Start managing your cloud infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — monitor microservice health and trigger production deployments through natural conversation without manual dashboard navigation
- Backend Developers — verify service resource allocations and audit background job statuses directly from your workspace terminal
- Platform Teams — manage organizational project spaces and verify secret vault mappings across multiple Northflank environments efficiently
Built-in capabilities (10)
Directly assigns the fundamental cloud region routing ingress requests, acting as a crucial first step in any IaC bootstrapping sequence. Provision a brand new isolated Northflank Project space
Eliminates the Northflank project boundary entirely, severing traffic routing, killing active cron-jobs, and dropping ephemeral node.js/python backend service processes executing memory. Permanently tear down a Project and all cascading microservices
Correlates global resource restrictions backing subsequent application microservice pipelines. Examine deeper regional metadata for a Northflank Project
Useful for assessing horizontal scaling needs and verifying external domain SSL associations. Retrieve the exact structural anatomy of a single Service
Enumerate isolated Batch and Cron Jobs within a Project
Fetches mandatory Project IDs. List Northflank top-level organizational Projects
env`, `DATABASE_URL`) that subsequently map down into running services or jobs across the Northflank VPC isolation boundaries. List Secret Group dictionaries injecting into the environments
Delineates distinct Service IDs representing either Dockerized builds or native buildpack-based GitHub auto-deploy endpoints. List explicit application/microservice instances inside a Project
Recycles transient RAM accumulation restoring standard execution timings. Gracefully cycle container replicas for a specific Service
Command Northflank builders to compile and deploy latest code

Frequently asked questions
Can I restart my application containers through the agent without a full rebuild?
Yes. Use the restart_service tool by providing your Project ID and Service ID. Your agent will signal Northflank to gracefully cycle the container replicas, effectively refreshing the running environment while maintaining your current code version.
How do I trigger a fresh build and deployment from my GitHub repository?
The trigger_build tool hooks into your linked VCS. Your agent will command Northflank to fetch the latest commits from your repository and start an automated build and release cycle, promoting the new image to production immediately.
Can my agent check the status of my periodic cron-jobs?
Absolutely. Use the list_jobs tool to identify all isolated background processes within a project. Your agent will report the current execution statuses and schedule parameters for both ad-hoc batch tasks and recurring cron-jobs.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
