Short answer

You can list existing versions, inspect specific configurations, and activate new versions using your AI client. This allows you to move drafts to active status without leaving your chat window. You'll get full control over your service lifecycle through natural language commands.

Where every action lands.

Deployment outcomes

Your AI handles the technical execution of version management.

ACTIVE

Live service updates

The AI uses the activation tool to push a specific version to your production environment. Your changes go live immediately.

INSPECT

Version history access

Your agent pulls a full list of available versions. You can see exactly what is currently running and what is sitting in draft.

REVIEW

Configuration checks

The AI fetches the details of a specific version. You can review the settings before you decide to make them active.

HUMAN

Final approval

The AI won't push a version without your command. You stay in the loop for every deployment decision.

The workflow

What your AI does when you request a deployment.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat and the Fastly API.

  1. Identify versions

    The AI scans your Fastly account to find all existing service versions. This gives you a clear view of your current deployment state.

    list_service_versions

  2. Fetch details

    Once you pick a version, the AI pulls the specific configuration data. This ensures you know exactly what you are about to deploy.

    get_service_version

  3. Promote version

    When you are ready, the AI triggers the activation of the chosen version. This moves your draft into the active slot.

    activate_service_version

  4. Confirm status

    The AI verifies the version list again to confirm the new version is indeed the one currently active.

FAQ

How the Fastly Connector behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI create a brand new service version?

    No. The AI can only list, get, or activate existing versions provided by the Fastly API.

  • 02

    Will the AI deploy changes without my permission?

    No. The AI only activates a version when you explicitly tell it to do so in the chat.

  • 03

    Can I use this to edit a specific configuration line?

    No. This Connector is designed for version management and activation, not for granular editing of individual configuration lines.

  • 04

    Does the AI see my Fastly API keys?

    No. Your credentials are encrypted and handled by Vinkius; the AI only uses the tools provided by the MCP.

  • 05

    Can the AI delete old service versions?

    No. There is no tool available to delete versions, so that task remains with you in the Fastly dashboard.
