Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Scaleway MCP Server?
Connect your Scaleway account to any AI agent to manage your cloud infrastructure through natural language. This server provides direct access to the Scaleway Instances API.
What you can do
- Instance Discovery — List all virtual machines across different availability zones (e.g., fr-par-1, nl-ams-1)
- Provisioning — Create new instances by specifying names, commercial types (like DEV1-S), and image IDs
- Power Management — Remotely power on, power off, or reboot your servers
- Lifecycle Control — Terminate instances that are no longer needed directly from the chat
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Scaleway Secret Key
- Start managing your cloud resources from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — quickly check server status or reboot instances without leaving the terminal or IDE
- Developers — spin up new development environments using simple text commands
- Cloud Architects — audit active resources across multiple zones efficiently
Built-in capabilities (3)
Create a new Scaleway instance (server)
List Scaleway instances (servers) in a specific zone
Perform an action on a Scaleway instance (e.g., poweron, poweroff)

Frequently asked questions
How do I see my servers in a specific region like Paris?
Use the list_instances tool and provide the zone parameter (e.g., 'fr-par-1'). The agent will return a list of all instances currently provisioned in that specific Scaleway zone.
Can I reboot or shut down a server using this integration?
Yes! The perform_instance_action tool allows you to send 'poweron', 'poweroff', 'reboot', or 'terminate' commands to any specific server ID within a zone.
What information is needed to create a new instance?
To use create_instance, you need to provide the zone, a name for the server, the commercial type (e.g., 'DEV1-S'), and the image ID or label you wish to deploy.
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.
