Connect Flightcontrol to your agent to manage infrastructure scaling through natural language. Your AI handles the monitoring and the updates.

Short answer

How can I scale my AWS services using AI?

Your AI checks your current scaling settings and then applies new instance counts to your Flightcontrol services. You get direct control over your AWS capacity without touching the AWS Console. This setup gives you a clear view of your scaling state and the ability to adjust it instantly.

Scaling outcomes

Infrastructure control

What happens when your AI manages your instances.

MONITOR

Current capacity visibility

The AI pulls your existing scaling configurations. You'll see exactly how many instances are running for each service.

ADJUST

Instant instance updates

Your agent pushes new scaling counts to Flightcontrol. This changes your AWS service capacity immediately.

HUMAN

Manual oversight required

The AI won't make scaling decisions on its own. You decide when a service needs more or fewer instances.

SYNC

Real-time state check

The AI verifies the update was successful. You get confirmation that your AWS environment matches your request.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI acts as the bridge between your instructions and your Flightcontrol deployment.

  1. Check current load

    The AI looks up the current scaling configuration for your specific AWS services to understand your baseline.

    get_service_scaling

  2. Propose changes

    Based on your request, the AI calculates the necessary instance count to handle your expected traffic.

    get_service_scaling

  3. Apply new counts

    The agent sends the updated scaling parameters to Flightcontrol to modify your AWS service.

    update_service_scaling

  4. Confirm scaling

    The AI re-checks the service settings to ensure the new instance count is active.

    get_service_scaling

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI scale my services automatically based on CPU usage?

    No. The AI only updates scaling counts when you explicitly tell it to do so.

  • 02

    Will the AI delete my AWS services?

    No. This MCP only has tools to get and update scaling counts, not to delete services.

  • 03

    Do I need to use the AWS Console to verify the changes?

    No. Your AI can verify the new scaling settings directly using the available tools.

  • 04

    Can the AI create new services in Flightcontrol?

    No. The AI is limited to managing the scaling of existing services.

  • 05

    Does the AI handle my AWS billing?

    No. The AI only manages service instance counts via Flightcontrol.
