Cloudstack MCP Server

CloudStack MCP Server for Claude Desktop integration. Exposed over MCP by the cloudstack mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

What it actually does

A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides complete CloudStack infrastructure management through natural language interactions with Claude Desktop. This implementation offers extensive coverage of CloudStack 4.20 APIs with 477+ MCP tools covering 735+ API methods across 32 categories.

The CloudStack MCP Server enables seamless cloud infrastructure management by bridging CloudStack APIs with Claude's natural language interface. Users can perform complex infrastructure operations using conversational commands, eliminating the need to learn CloudStack's API syntax or command-line tools.

Adding it to your client

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

• Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this server

Configuration

You will need 7 environment variables: CLOUDSTACK_CONFIG, CLOUDSTACK_PROD_API_URL, CLOUDSTACK_PROD_API_KEY, CLOUDSTACK_PROD_SECRET_KEY, CLOUDSTACK_DEV_API_URL, CLOUDSTACK_DEV_API_KEY, CLOUDSTACK_DEV_SECRET_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

• Node.js: Version 18.0 or higher - Claude Desktop: Latest version with MCP support - CloudStack Access: Valid API credentials with appropriate permissions

Caveats

• It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
• Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
• MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the cloudstack mcp server does with a few real requests.

When to reach for it

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Cloudstack's toolset — Prerequisites — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by mozg31337; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
