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 .env or DATABASE_URL across VPC boundaries
Resource Provisioning — Initialize fresh isolated project spaces or permanently tear down entire microservice ecosystems with irreversible architectural commands

Built-in capabilities (10)

create_project

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

delete_project

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

get_project

Correlates global resource restrictions backing subsequent application microservice pipelines. Examine deeper regional metadata for a Northflank Project

get_service

Useful for assessing horizontal scaling needs and verifying external domain SSL associations. Retrieve the exact structural anatomy of a single Service

list_jobs

Enumerate isolated Batch and Cron Jobs within a Project

list_projects

Fetches mandatory Project IDs. List Northflank top-level organizational Projects

list_secrets

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

list_services

Delineates distinct Service IDs representing either Dockerized builds or native buildpack-based GitHub auto-deploy endpoints. List explicit application/microservice instances inside a Project

restart_service

Recycles transient RAM accumulation restoring standard execution timings. Gracefully cycle container replicas for a specific Service

trigger_build

Command Northflank builders to compile and deploy latest code

Why VS Code Copilot?

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Northflank (Developer Cloud & Orchestration) data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

—
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
—
Project-scoped MCP configs (.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access
—
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
—
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

FAQ

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.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
