Spec Driven Development
MCP Server that facilitates spec-driven development workflows, not just Vibe Coding.
Description from the maker (original English)
Inspect servers, storage, networks, databases and billing, and start, stop or back up servers.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

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.
upcloud_get_accountThe calling account: username, remaining credits and resource limits (cores, memory, storage per tier, IPs, networks, managed services). A cheap way to confirm the token works. UpCloud: GET /1.3/account.
upcloud_list_zonesAvailable zones (data centres) with id (e.g. fi-hel1, de-fra1, us-chi1), description and whether they are public or private-cloud. Zone ids are used by every other resource. UpCloud: GET /1.3/zone.
upcloud_list_plansFixed-price server plans: name (e.g. 2xCPU-4GB), cores, memory, included storage size/tier and transfer, plus GPU model/amount for GPU plans. UpCloud: GET /1.3/plan.
upcloud_list_pricesThe price list per zone in the account's currency: per-hour prices for plans, cores, memory, storage tiers, backups, IPv4 addresses and traffic. UpCloud: GET /1.3/price.
upcloud_get_billing_summaryBilling summary for one month with per-resource details (servers, storages, managed databases, object storage, …: amount, hours, plan, zone, labels) and totals. Needs an account allowed to read billing. UpCloud: GET /1.3/account/billing/summary/{yearmonth}.
upcloud_list_serversCloud servers on the account (summary: uuid, title, hostname, zone, plan, cores, memory, state, tags, labels). Filter by state, a free-text search (name, title, uuid, zone, IP, hostname, tag or template), tags or labels. Use upcloud_get_server for IPs and disks. UpCloud: GET /1.3
upcloud_get_serverFull details of one server: state, plan, cores/memory, network interfaces and IP addresses, attached storage devices, firewall on/off, simple-backup schedule, labels, tags and remote-access settings. UpCloud: GET /1.3/server/{uuid}.
upcloud_list_storagesStorage devices: disks, backups, CD-ROM images and OS templates (uuid, title, type, tier, size GB, state, zone, labels). Narrow by `kind`: private (yours), public (UpCloud-provided), normal (disks), backup, cdrom, template or favorite. UpCloud: GET /1.3/storage[/{kind}].
upcloud_get_storageDetails of one storage: size, tier, state (e.g. online, backuping), encryption, the servers it is attached to, its backups and backup_rule. Poll this to follow a backup started with upcloud_create_storage_backup. UpCloud: GET /1.3/storage/{uuid}.
upcloud_list_ip_addressesEvery IP address on the account: address, family (IPv4/IPv6), access (public/utility/private), the server it is assigned to, zone, PTR record, floating flag and release policy. UpCloud: GET /1.3/ip_address.
upcloud_list_firewall_rulesThe firewall rules of one server in evaluation order (position, direction, action, family, protocol, address and port ranges, comment). Whether the firewall is enabled at all is the `firewall` field of upcloud_get_server. UpCloud: GET /1.3/server/{uuid}/firewall_rule.
upcloud_list_networksNetworks visible to the account — public, utility and private SDN networks — with their IP subnets, DHCP settings, routes, attached servers and peerings. Optionally only one zone. UpCloud: GET /1.3/network/.
upcloud_list_databasesManaged Database services (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Valkey, OpenSearch): uuid, title, type, plan, zone, state, component hosts/ports, backups and labels. Note the response can include connection URIs with credentials. UpCloud: GET /1.3/database.
upcloud_list_load_balancersManaged Load Balancer services with their frontends, backends and members, networks, plan, zone, configured status and operational state. UpCloud: GET /1.3/load-balancer.
upcloud_list_kubernetes_clustersManaged Kubernetes clusters: name, uuid, zone, plan, state, network/CIDR, control-plane IP filter, labels and node groups (plan, count, state). UpCloud: GET /1.3/kubernetes.
upcloud_list_object_storagesManaged Object Storage (S3-compatible) services: uuid, name, region, configured status and operational state, public/private endpoints, custom domains and labels. UpCloud: GET /1.3/object-storage-2.
upcloud_list_audit_logsSecurity audit trail of the account (up to 180 days): who did what to which resource, when, from which IP and via API or Hub. Filter by action, origin, resource type, time window or a keyword (UUID, username or IP). Returns total_count for paging. UpCloud: GET /1.3/audit-logs.
upcloud_start_serverStart a stopped server (billing for a started server resumes). Fails with 409 if it is not stopped. `async` returns immediately — poll upcloud_get_server for state=started. UpCloud: POST /1.3/server/{uuid}/start.
upcloud_stop_serverDISRUPTIVE: stop a running server — it goes offline until started again with upcloud_start_server. soft (default) sends an ACPI shutdown; with a timeout, a hard stop follows if it is still running. hard is like pulling the plug and can lose unsaved data. UpCloud: POST /1.3/server
upcloud_restart_serverDISRUPTIVE: stop and start a running server. soft (default) needs a timeout: after it, timeout_action=destroy hard-stops and restarts, ignore (API default) aborts and leaves the server running. hard power-cycles immediately. UpCloud: POST /1.3/server/{uuid}/restart.
upcloud_create_storage_backupTake an on-demand, point-in-time backup of a storage device. Additive (nothing is overwritten) but backups are billed per GB. Asynchronous: the storage goes to a backuping/maintenance state and back to online — poll upcloud_get_storage. UpCloud: POST /1.3/storage/{uuid}/backup.
upcloud_modify_serverChange a server's title, hostname and/or simple-backup schedule. Only these reversible fields are exposed — no resizing or plan change (billing) and no firewall toggle. simple_backup is `HHMM,daily|dailies|weeklies|monthlies` (UTC time) or `no` to disable. UpCloud: PUT /1.3/serve

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
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.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
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.

Use UpCloud from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — inspect servers, storage, networks, firewall rules, databases, Kubernetes, billing and the audit log, and start, stop, restart or back up servers. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own UpCloud credentials.
Live endpoint: https://upcloud.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/upcloud
https://upcloud.usefulapi.io/mcp.claude mcp add --transport http upcloud https://upcloud.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.{

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 UpCloud credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/upcloud/
On first connect you'll provide your UpCloud API token (Control Panel → Account → API tokens). They're validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.
