Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the UpCloud MCP Server?
Connect your UpCloud account to any AI agent to manage your high-performance cloud infrastructure through natural language. From deploying servers to monitoring resource costs, take full control of your cloud environment.
What you can do
- Server Control — List, create, start, stop, and restart cloud servers across all global regions.
- Storage Management — List, create, modify, and clone storage resources to scale your data needs.
- Infrastructure Insights — Query available zones and physical hosts to optimize your deployment strategy.
- Account & Billing — Monitor your account limits, credits, and detailed monthly billing summaries.
- Pricing Transparency — Instantly list resource prices in your account's currency to manage cloud spend.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your UpCloud API credentials
- Start managing your cloud infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more jumping between browser tabs to check server statuses or billing cycles. Your AI acts as a dedicated cloud architect and DevOps assistant.
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — automate server lifecycle management and infrastructure audits without leaving the terminal or IDE.
- Cloud Architects — quickly query zone availability and host details to plan high-availability setups.
- Finance & Ops — retrieve billing summaries and resource prices to maintain budget control over cloud environments.

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings UpCloud data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 46 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
UpCloud in VS Code Copilot
UpCloud and 4,000+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect UpCloud to VS Code Copilot 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.
Raw MCP | Vinkius | |
|---|---|---|
| Server catalog | Find and host yourself | 4,000+ managed |
| Infrastructure | Self-hosted | Sandboxed V8 isolates |
| Credential handling | Plaintext in config | Vault + runtime injection |
| Data loss prevention | None | Configurable DLP policies |
| Kill switch | None | Global instant shutdown |
| Financial circuit breakers | None | Per-server limits + alerts |
| Audit trail | None | Ed25519 signed logs |
| SIEM log streaming | None | Splunk, Datadog, Webhook |
| Honeytokens | None | Canary alerts on leak |
| Custom domains | Not applicable | DNS challenge verified |
| GDPR compliance | Manual effort | Automated purge + export |
Why teams choose Vinkius for UpCloud in VS Code Copilot
The UpCloud 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 46 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.

* Every 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 optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
How Vinkius secures
UpCloud for VS Code Copilot
Every tool call from VS Code Copilot to the UpCloud MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I check my current account balance and resource limits?
Yes! Use the get_account tool to retrieve your current credits and resource limits directly from your UpCloud account.
How do I see which global locations are available for deployment?
Simply ask the agent to run the list_zones action. It will provide a complete list of physical sites where you can deploy your infrastructure.
Is it possible to restart a server using its ID?
Yes. By providing the server's UUID to the restart_server tool, your AI agent can trigger a reboot of that specific instance immediately.
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.
