Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Inspect Exoscale: instances, volumes, SKS, DNS, IPs, quotas and usage; start, stop, reboot VMs.

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.

Install

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 26 things (tools) exoscale_list_zones, exoscale_get_organization, exoscale_list_quotas, exoscale_get_quota …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

Which app do you use?

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

Works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile:

  1. Open Settings → Connectors
  2. Press Add custom connector
  3. Paste the address below and press Add

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "exoscale": {
      "url": "https://exoscale.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "exoscale": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://exoscale.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

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.

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

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

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

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • exoscale_list_zones

    List the Exoscale zones (data centers) with their API and object-storage endpoints. Compute, storage and network resources live in one zone each. GET /zone.

  • exoscale_get_organization

    The Exoscale organization of the API key: id, name, address, country, account balance and currency. GET /organization.

  • exoscale_list_quotas

    Resource quotas of the organization: for each resource its current usage and limit (instances, volumes, elastic IPs, and so on). GET /quota.

  • exoscale_get_quota

    Usage and limit of one quota entity, for example 'instance'. Use exoscale_list_quotas for the names. GET /quota/{entity}.

  • exoscale_get_usage_report

    Aggregated usage of the organization for one month: product, variable, quantity and unit per line. GET /usage-report.

  • exoscale_list_instances

    List the compute instances of one zone: id, name, state, instance type, template, IP addresses and security groups. Call once per zone for a full inventory. GET /instance.

  • exoscale_get_instance

    Details of one compute instance: state, type, template, disk size, networks, security groups, elastic IPs, snapshots. The cloud-init user-data is never returned. GET /instance/{id}.

  • exoscale_start_instance

    WRITE: start a stopped compute instance (normal boot, no rescue profile). Billing for the instance resumes. Returns an operation; poll it with exoscale_get_operation. PUT /instance/{id}:start.

  • exoscale_stop_instance

    WRITE: stop a running compute instance. Running services go down and the public IP may change unless it is an elastic IP. Returns an operation; poll it with exoscale_get_operation. PUT /instance/{id}:stop.

  • exoscale_reboot_instance

    WRITE: reboot a running compute instance. Running services restart and unsaved data in memory is lost. Returns an operation; poll it with exoscale_get_operation. PUT /instance/{id}:reboot.

  • exoscale_get_operation

    State of an asynchronous operation (pending, success, failure, timeout), for example the reply of a start, stop or reboot. Use the same zone as the call that created it. GET /operation/{id}.

  • exoscale_list_instance_types

    List the compute instance types: family, size, CPUs, GPUs, memory and the zones that offer them. GET /instance-type.

  • exoscale_get_instance_type

    Details of one instance type: family, size, CPUs, GPUs, memory, zones. GET /instance-type/{id}.

  • exoscale_list_templates

    List the compute templates (OS images) of a zone: name, family, version, default user, size, visibility. The public list is long: filter by family or page with limit/offset. GET /template.

  • exoscale_get_template

    Details of one template: name, family, version, default user, size, boot mode, checksum, zones. GET /template/{id}.

  • exoscale_list_security_groups

    List the security groups of a zone: id, name, description and external sources (firewall), with the rules when the API includes them. GET /security-group.

  • exoscale_get_security_group

    Details of one security group: description and external sources, with the rules (protocol, ports, network, direction) when the API includes them. GET /security-group/{id}.

  • exoscale_list_elastic_ips

    List the elastic IP addresses of a zone with description, address family, health-check settings and labels. GET /elastic-ip.

  • exoscale_get_elastic_ip

    Details of one elastic IP: address, CIDR, family, description, health check and labels. GET /elastic-ip/{id}.

  • exoscale_list_block_storage_volumes

    List the block storage volumes of a zone: name, size, state, the instance each is attached to, encryption and snapshots. GET /block-storage.

  • exoscale_get_block_storage_volume

    Details of one block storage volume: size, block size, state, attached instance, encryption, labels and snapshots. GET /block-storage/{id}.

  • exoscale_list_sks_clusters

    List the Scalable Kubernetes Service (SKS) clusters of a zone: name, version, state, level, CNI, endpoint and node pools. GET /sks-cluster.

  • exoscale_get_sks_cluster

    Details of one SKS cluster: version, state, level, CNI, add-ons, OIDC settings (no secrets), endpoint and node pools. GET /sks-cluster/{id}.

  • exoscale_list_dns_domains

    List the DNS domains (zones) hosted at Exoscale: id, unicode name, creation date. DNS is the same in every zone. GET /dns-domain.

  • exoscale_get_dns_domain

    Details of one DNS domain. GET /dns-domain/{id}.

  • exoscale_list_dns_records

    List the records of one DNS domain: name, type, content, TTL, priority. Use exoscale_list_dns_domains for the domain id. GET /dns-domain/{domain-id}/record.

Common questions

Is Exoscale MCP by usefulapi safe?

It passed 3 of 3 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 (1.22.3) reached the registry yesterday.

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: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, LickityClick

Exoscale MCP by usefulapi

Use Exoscale from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — instances, templates, security groups, IPs, volumes, SKS clusters, DNS, quotas and usage. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Exoscale credentials.

Live endpoint: https://exoscale.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/exoscale

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://exoscale.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http exoscale https://exoscale.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{

"mcpServers": { "exoscale": { "url": "https://exoscale.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Exoscale credentials.
