Overview

What is CloudStack MCP?

CloudStack MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Apache CloudStack that allows AI agents to interact with CloudStack infrastructure. The project is under development and is a proof of concept, so not all features are available yet.

How to use CloudStack MCP?

Install dependencies (brew install go-task go docker), clone the repository, and start the environment with task docker:start. Then configure your MCP client (Cursor or Claude Desktop) to connect via SSE (http://localhost:8250/sse) or stdio (using docker compose). Detailed setup instructions for both clients are provided in the README.

Key features of CloudStack MCP
