Control Plane

What is Control Plane?

Control Plane is a hybrid multi-cloud platform that runs containerized workloads across AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, and your own hardware under one API. This official MCP server gives your AI assistant 150+ tools to deploy, operate, troubleshoot, secure, and migrate workloads in natural language, backed by production guardrails.

How to use Control Plane?

Configure the MCP client with the HTTP transport and URL https://mcp.cpln.io/mcp?toolsets=full. Optionally install the richer plugin for Claude Code, Codex, and Antigravity CLI: run /plugin marketplace add https://github.com/controlplane-com/ai-plugin.git then /plugin install cpln@controlplane.

Key features of Control Plane

• Query logs, metrics, traces, audit events; exec into running replicas.

Use cases of Control Plane

• Troubleshoot a production workload that keeps restarting.
• Attach a custom domain with auto-TLS to a web workload.

FAQ from Control Plane

How do I authenticate with Control Plane MCP?

The server uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE — no API keys are needed. You sign in once and choose which Control Plane organizations the assistant can operate on; the token is scoped to those orgs and enforced server-side on every call.

What safety measures are in place?

MCP access is scoped to the orgs you grant and your own RBAC. Destructive actions (deleting resources, shrinking volumes, replacing workloads, applying to production) require explicit confirmation. Secret values are revealed only with reveal permission.

Does the server store any data?

No. The server stores no logs, secrets, prompts, or telemetry.

Which tool profiles are available?

You can select tool profiles via the toolsets query parameter: core, mk8s, or full.
