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 VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Scaleway data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 3 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

Why teams choose Vinkius for Scaleway in VS Code Copilot
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 VS Code Copilot 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.

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.
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.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
