Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Compare, estimate, and deploy cloud infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure for AI agents.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Developer tools
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http synlake-ai https://api.synlake.ai/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "synlake-ai": {
      "url": "https://api.synlake.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "synlake-ai": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.synlake.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • Authorization secret required HTTP header
    Bearer token with your Synlake API key (sk_synlake_...)

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Synlake — Cloud Infrastructure for AI Agents safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.0) reached the registry 6 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP

Synlake MCP Server

The MCP connector for Synlake — B2AI infrastructure for autonomous agents. Synlake normalizes AWS, GCP, and Azure into one schema, generates ready-to-run execution kits (Terraform HCL + CLI), and prices them before deploy — so an AI agent can discover, evaluate, and provision cloud infrastructure with zero human intervention.

This repository is the open-source MCP server (a thin stdio ↔ HTTP proxy). The infrastructure intelligence — cross-cloud normalization, the cost engine, and execution-kit generation — runs as a hosted service at api.synlake.ai.

🌐 synlake.ai · 📖 Docs · 🔌 MCP: ai.synlake/synlake


An agent deploys infrastructure — no human in the loop

A coding agent needs a Kubernetes node pool. It doesn't open a cloud console, compare pricing pages, or hand-write Terraform. It asks Synlake, and gets back a deployable answer:

Agent → Synlake:  "compute, 4 vCPUs, 16 GB RAM, us-east-1, budget $100/mo"

Synlake → Agent: best: gcp · e2-standard-4 · $97.82/mo (19.5% cheaper than the priciest) also: aws t3.xlarge $121.47 · azure Standard_B4ms $121.18 kit: { terraform: "resource \"google_compute_instance\"…", cli: "gcloud compute instances create…" } ✓ validated: no public ingress, encryption on, within budget

The agent reviews the kit, applies the Terraform, and moves on. Every response is dense, deterministic JSON — built for machine consumption, not dashboards. Synlake tools are read-only: they recommend, price, and validate. A human (or the agent's own policy) runs the execution kit.

Architecture

flowchart LR

A[AI Agent] -- MCP / REST --> B[Synlake API] B --> C[Normalizer] C --> D1[AWS adapter] C --> D2[Azure adapter] C --> D3[GCP adapter] C --> E[Ranking engine cost + constraints] E --> F[Execution-kit generator Terraform + CLI] F --> G[Guardrails & validation budget · region · security] G --> H[Audit log] H --> A

An agent sends an intent. Synlake normalizes options across clouds, ranks them by cost and constraints, generates a deploy-ready execution kit, runs guardrail checks, logs the call, and returns one machine-ready payload. This repo ships the open-source MCP connector (the AI Agent ↔ Synlake API edge); the boxes to the right of Synlake API run as the hosted service.

Quickstart

Hosted (recommended) — MCP over Streamable HTTP

Point any MCP client at the hosted server — three lines, nothing to install:

{

"mcpServers": { "synlake": { "url": "https://api.synlake.ai/api/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer sk_synlake_YOUR_KEY" } } } }

Local stdio wrapper (this package)

For clients that speak stdio (e.g. Claude Desktop), run the npm wrapper — it proxies to the same hosted server:

{

"mcpServers": { "synlake": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@synlake-ai/mcp-server"], "env": { "SYNLAKE_API_KEY": "sk_synlake_YOUR_KEY" } } } }

Get a free API key at [synlake.ai](https://synlake.ai) (100 calls/month, no card required). The estimate endpoint is even callable without a key — zero friction to try.

Use it from a Claude Managed Agent

Wire Synlake as an mcp_toolset — the agent gets all five tools natively, your key stays in an Anthropic vault:

{

"type": "mcp_toolset", "name": "synlake", "server": { "url": "https://api.synlake.ai/api/mcp", "authorization_token": { "vault_secret": "synlake_api_key" } } }

See the MCP quickstart for the Managed Agents API, ant CLI, and Agent SDK flows.

Build from source

npm install

npm run build # tsc → dist/ (pure proxy) SYNLAKE_API_KEY=sk_synlake_... node dist/bin.js

SYNLAKE_API_URL overrides the remote endpoint (default https://api.synlake.ai/api/mcp).

Pricing

Pay per call. No subscriptions, no commitments. Free tier: 100 calls/month, no card required.
