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)
Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Scaleway into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Scaleway and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 3 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools
Scaleway in Cursor
Scaleway and 4,000+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect Scaleway to Cursor through Vinkius don't need to source, host, or maintain individual MCP servers. Every tool call runs inside a hardened runtime with credential isolation, DLP, and a signed audit chain.

Why teams choose Vinkius for Scaleway in Cursor
The Scaleway MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 3 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Cursor only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

How Vinkius secures
Scaleway for Cursor
Every tool call from Cursor to the Scaleway MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
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.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
