Cloud infrastructure status used to require constant context switching.
To check your cloud resources today, you usually have to switch between multiple tabs: the dashboard for listing machines, a separate CLI terminal for running `list-instances`, and another area of code just to confirm if a resource was successfully rebooted. It's tedious, slow, and easy to miss something.
With this MCP, all that complexity vanishes. You talk to your agent and ask it what you need—like listing all machines in the Paris zone. The platform runs the command for you and gives you a clean, direct answer without any switching or copy-pasting.
The Scaleway MCP brings full control over resource provisioning.
Before this, if you needed a new staging environment, the steps meant writing a complex script to define the type, image, and zone. If you forgot one variable, the whole thing failed, and you were back at square one.
Now, telling your agent to create the instance is enough. It handles the full provisioning process—from defining the resource type to confirming its readiness—all in one natural command.
What Scaleway MCP does for your AI
This MCP lets your AI client treat your cloud account like a natural extension of conversation. You stop writing boilerplate CLI commands and start talking about what you need done with your infrastructure. Need to check if that staging environment is up? Just ask, and it pulls all the status details for every virtual machine across different zones.
If you realize you forgot an entire development tier, you can tell it to create a new cluster using specific types and images. It handles provisioning and lifecycle management entirely through text.
The power of connecting your cloud resources this way means complex tasks become simple requests. By adding Scaleway to the Vinkius catalog, any compatible AI client—whether it's in your IDE or a separate chat window—can manage your entire resource portfolio. You get full control over instance status and deployment actions without ever needing to switch tools or write an API script.

The bottom line is that your AI client runs all cloud commands using natural language, handling authentication and API calls behind the scenes.
Subscribe to this MCP and provide your unique Scaleway Secret Key.
Your AI client reads your natural language request, identifying the required action (e.g., 'Reboot web-prod-01').
The agent sends a structured API call through the connector, and you receive an immediate confirmation or status update on the resource's state.
Who uses Scaleway MCP
This MCP is for anyone who treats infrastructure management as a constant interruption to their core work. It serves the DevOps Engineer tired of jumping between terminals and dashboards, the Developer who needs quick staging environments on demand, or the Cloud Architect auditing complex multi-zone deployments.
Uses this to check status across dozens of instances in multiple zones quickly, allowing them to reboot a critical service without leaving their primary terminal session.
Spins up temporary development environments using simple text prompts instead of writing complex provisioning scripts every time they start a new feature branch.
Audits the entire resource footprint, listing and categorizing active machines across different geographical zones to ensure compliance or plan decommissioning.
Benefits of connecting Scaleway MCP
Audit your entire environment instantly. Using list_instances lets you check the status of every machine across multiple availability zones without running zone-by-zone commands.
Spin up dev environments on demand. The create_instance tool lets developers provision new machines using simple text prompts, specifying everything from size to operating system image.
Manage power state via chat. If a service is stuck or needs maintenance, the agent uses perform_instance_action to reboot or power down resources directly through conversation.
Decommission safely and efficiently. When you know an instance isn't needed anymore, you can terminate it instantly, using the MCP to prevent resource waste.
Stay in your workflow. You don't have to leave your IDE or chat window. This MCP brings cloud control right where you're already coding.
Scaleway MCP use cases
The weekend audit
A Cloud Architect needs to know every single resource running in the 'NL-AMS-1' zone for a compliance report. Instead of logging into the console and clicking through dozens of dashboard tabs, they ask their agent to list_instances. The result is an immediate, comprehensive list they can copy.
Hotfix deployment
A DevOps Engineer realizes a production machine needs a patch immediately. They tell the agent to reboot it using perform_instance_action and get confirmation that the command was sent successfully, minimizing downtime.
New staging branch setup
A Developer finishes a feature and needs an isolated testing environment. Instead of running a multi-step CLI script, they prompt their agent to create_instance for the new staging machine, specifying the exact type and image needed.
Resource cleanup
A team finished a project and has several old development machines still running, incurring costs. They use the MCP to audit all resources and then systematically perform_instance_action (power off) or terminate them entirely.
Scaleway MCP tradeoffs
What to watch out for, and the recommended way to handle each one.
Manual API calls
Trying to manually structure a REST call for every action, dealing with authentication headers and JSON body construction.
Just ask your agent. For example: 'list all my instances in the Paris zone.' The MCP handles the full request lifecycle using list_instances.
Using generic scripting
Writing a Python script that connects to Scaleway, requiring environment variables and complex error handling just to check status.
Use the natural language interface. Prompt your agent: 'What is the status of my web-prod-01 machine?' The MCP handles connection details automatically.
Over-reliance on dashboards
Logging into the Scaleway console to see if a resource was successfully rebooted, wasting time switching windows.
Ask your agent: 'Reboot instance X and confirm it succeeded.' The MCP sends the command via perform_instance_action and reports the status back directly.
When to use Scaleway MCP
Use this MCP if your primary workflow involves managing the lifecycle of virtual machines—creating, listing, or changing the power state—and you want to do it entirely through conversational prompts. This is ideal for DevOps Engineers and Developers who live in an IDE or chat window.
Don't use this if your goal is to write actual application code, manage database credentials, or integrate with services outside of cloud resource management. If you just need a simple API endpoint wrapper (e.g., only listing IDs), consider using a dedicated low-level SDK connector instead. But for broad operational control over instances, this MCP is exactly what you need.
Frequently asked questions about Scaleway MCP
How do I list all my instances using Scaleway MCP? +
You ask your agent to list instances, specifying the zone you are interested in. The list_instances tool retrieves every virtual machine status and ID for that location.
Can I use Scaleway MCP to reboot an instance? +
Yes. You can tell your agent to perform an action, like rebooting a specific machine using perform_instance_action. It sends the command and confirms when the request was successfully sent.
Is Scaleway MCP only for listing servers? +
No. The MCP is fully capable of lifecycle management, allowing you not only to list machines but also to create new ones with create_instance or terminate old ones.
What information does the Scaleway MCP need to connect? +
You must subscribe and provide your unique Scaleway Secret Key. This key authorizes your agent to manage resources on your behalf within the Vinkius catalog.
Does creating an instance take time with Scaleway MCP? +
The command initiates provisioning immediately via create_instance. The response confirms that the request has been sent and the machine is now being provisioned by Scaleway's systems.
