MCP for American Cloud
American Cloud MCP Server
Manage American Cloud infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, and any other MCP client.
Runs locally on your machine over stdio — your API keys never leave your environment, and no hosted middleman sits between your AI assistant and your cloud.
Quick start
Add to your MCP client configuration (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, …):
{
"mcpServers": {
"americancloud": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@americancloud/mcp"],
"env": {
"AMERICANCLOUD_API_CLIENT_ID": "your-client-id",
"AMERICANCLOUD_API_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret"
}
}
}
}
Create and manage API keys at console.americancloud.com/api-keys.
The server is read-only by default — see Safety before enabling resource management.
Service groups
By default the core infrastructure groups are enabled: compute, storage,
networking, kubernetes. Scope or extend with --services:
npx @americancloud/mcp --services all
npx @americancloud/mcp --services compute,dns
| Group | Tools | Covers |
|---|---|---|
| compute (default) | 25 | VMs, packages, images, regions, SSH keys |
| storage (default) | 24 | block storage, snapshots, object storage |
| networking (default) | 53 | isolated/VPC networks, public IPs, firewall, port forwarding, load balancers, egress, ACLs |
| kubernetes (default) | 11 | managed Kubernetes clusters |
| databases | 35 | managed MySQL/PostgreSQL/Redis, backups, infrastructure, offerings |
| wordpress | 15 | managed WordPress |
| dns | 7 | hosted DNS zones and records |
Scoping with --services keeps the tool list small for context-sensitive
clients.
Safety
This server lets an AI assistant manage real infrastructure with real billing. It's designed to be safe by default:
- Read-only by default. Out of the box, only read tools (list/get/cost
estimates) are registered — an assistant can explore and inspect but cannot
create, modify, or delete anything. To enable management tools, add
"--allow-writes"toargs. - Use the narrowest key. For inspection, provision a
read-onlyAPI key — then resource mutation is impossible regardless of any flag, because the key itself can't perform writes. Only use aread-writekey together with--allow-writeswhen you actually want the assistant to make changes. - Destructive tools are flagged. Delete/release/reinstall/revert/cancel tools are marked destructive, so MCP clients that support confirmations will prompt before running them.

Versioning
See VERSIONING.md — the server versions independently;
the exact-pinned @americancloud/sdk dependency states the API surface it
targets.
