How do I connect this MCP to my AI client?

You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and enter your Northflank API Token. Once connected, you can use it immediately in any MCP-compatible client like Claude or Cursor.

Can I deploy code using this MCP?

Yes. You can use the trigger_build capability to command Northflank builders to compile and deploy your latest code from linked VCS like GitHub or GitLab.

Is it safe to manage secrets through an AI agent?

The MCP allows you to list secret groups and verify environment variable mappings, giving you visibility into your vault configurations without exposing raw sensitive data.

What happens if I delete a project through the AI?

Using the delete_project capability is an irreversible command. It will terminate the project, all associated microservices, and any active cron jobs.

Which cloud providers does this support?

This MCP interacts with Northflank, which manages your infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure.

Can I restart my application containers through the agent without a full rebuild?

Yes. Use the restart_service capability 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 capability 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 capability 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.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Rapid Deployment

Trigger a new build immediately after a code merge to push changes to production.

Resource Troubleshooting

Check if a service is being CPU throttled and restart it to clear memory leaks.

Security Verification

Audit which secret groups are being injected into specific microservices.

Job Monitoring

Inspect the status of cron jobs and batch processes like database aggregations.

Automate a task

Put Northflank to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Northflank works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Northflank to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Northflank, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Northflank. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
