The publisher's own server: Ably MCP by usefulapi
Hosted Civo cloud server that lets an assistant inspect instances, Kubernetes clusters, networks, firewalls, volumes, databases and DNS, and make limited…
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.
Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.usefulapi%2Fcivo/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

}Use Civo from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — list instances, Kubernetes clusters, networks, databases and DNS, and reboot or tag instances. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Civo credentials.
Live endpoint: https://civo.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/civo
https://civo.usefulapi.io/mcp.claude mcp add --transport http civo https://civo.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 Civo credentials.
Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/civo/
On first connect you'll provide your Civo API key (Civo dashboard → Settings → Profile → Security), plus an optional default region. They're validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.
read tools are read-only; write tools mutate data (clients should confirm them); meta tools report usage, manage your subscription or send a feature request.
Each paid plan covers this server only. Ask your AI to run civo_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with civo_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with civo_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

List regions
List the Civo regions available to the account, with which one is the default, whether each is out of capacity, and the features each supports (IaaS, Kubernetes, object store, load balancers, GPU, databases). A cheap way to confirm the API key works. Civo: GET /v2/regions.
Takes no parameters.
Get account quota
The account's limits and current usage: instances, CPU cores, RAM, disk, volumes, snapshots, public IPs, networks, firewalls and rules, load balancers, object storage and databases. Answers 'can I launch another one?'. Civo: GET /v2/quota.
Takes no parameters.
List charges
List billable usage for a period: each resource's product code, label, region, time span and hours (size_gb for volumes). The range may be at most 31 days; defaults to the start of the current month until now. Civo: GET /v2/charges.
tofromList sizes
List the sizes (plans) that can be launched — instances, Kubernetes nodes and databases — with CPU cores, RAM, disk, transfer allowance and GPU. Civo: GET /v2/sizes.
regionList instances
List compute instances in a region, optionally filtered by tags. Paginated: returns {page, per_page, pages, items}. Passwords are redacted. Civo: GET /v2/instances.
pagetagsregionper_pageGet one instance
Fetch one instance: status, size, CPU/RAM/disk, public and private IPs, network, firewall, tags, attached volumes and source image. Passwords are redacted. Civo: GET /v2/instances/{id}.
regioninstance_idrequiredList Kubernetes clusters
List the Kubernetes (K3s/Talos) clusters in a region with status, version, node pools, API endpoint and installed applications. Paginated: {page, per_page, pages, items}. Kubeconfigs are redacted. Civo: GET /v2/kubernetes/clusters.
pageregionper_pageGet one Kubernetes cluster
Fetch one Kubernetes cluster: status, readiness, conditions, version and available upgrade, pools and their instances, network, firewall, CNI and installed marketplace apps. The kubeconfig is redacted. Civo: GET /v2/kubernetes/clusters/{id}.
regioncluster_idrequiredList networks
List the private networks in a region: label, CIDR, whether it is the default network, status and nameservers. Civo: GET /v2/networks.
regionList firewalls
List the firewalls in a region with their network, rule count and how many instances, clusters and load balancers use each. Civo: GET /v2/firewalls.
regionList a firewall's rules
List the rules of one firewall: protocol, port range, CIDRs, direction (ingress/egress), action (allow/deny) and label — the answer to 'what is exposed to the internet?'. Civo: GET /v2/firewalls/{id}/rules.
regionfirewall_idrequiredList load balancers
List the load balancers in a region: algorithm, backends (IP, protocol, source/target ports), public IP, state and the Kubernetes service each fronts. Civo: GET /v2/loadbalancers.
regionList volumes
List the block-storage volumes in a region: size, status, type, and the instance or cluster each is attached to (unattached volumes still bill). Civo: GET /v2/volumes.
regionList databases
List the managed databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL) in a region: software and version, size, nodes, IPs, port, network, firewall and status. Paginated: {page, per_page, pages, items}. Passwords are redacted. Civo: GET /v2/databases.
pageregionper_pageList DNS domains
List the domains whose DNS Civo hosts for the account. Civo: GET /v2/dns.
Takes no parameters.
List DNS records
List the records of one hosted domain (name, type, value, priority, TTL), optionally filtered by type or name. Civo: GET /v2/dns/{domain_id}/records.
nametypedomain_idrequiredReboot an instance
Reboot one instance. `soft` (default) asks the OS to restart cleanly; `hard` cuts power and boots it again, like pulling the plug — use only when soft does not work. Causes brief downtime. Civo: POST /v2/instances/{id}/soft_reboots or /hard_reboots.
typeregioninstance_idrequiredStop an instance
Power off one instance. Anything it serves goes offline until it is started again with civo_start_instance. A stopped instance is still billed. Civo: PUT /v2/instances/{id}/stop.
regioninstance_idrequiredStart an instance
Boot a stopped instance. Undoes civo_stop_instance. Civo: PUT /v2/instances/{id}/start.
regioninstance_idrequiredSet an instance's tags
REPLACE the full tag list of one instance (tags are used for filtering and by load-balancer instance pools, so changing them can move an instance in or out of a pool). Pass the complete desired list; an empty list clears all tags. Civo: PUT /v2/instances/{id}/tags.
tagsrequiredregioninstance_idrequiredAdd a firewall rule
Add one rule to a firewall — e.g. allow TCP 443 ingress from 0.0.0.0/0. This changes what is reachable on every instance, cluster and load balancer using the firewall, so prefer narrow CIDRs. Undo by deleting the rule in the Civo dashboard or CLI. Civo: POST /v2/firewalls/{id}/rules.
cidrlabelactionregionend_portprotocolrequireddirectionstart_portfirewall_idrequiredAdd a DNS record
Add one record to a Civo-hosted domain. Live DNS changes propagate to the world; undo by deleting the record in the Civo dashboard or CLI. Civo: POST /v2/dns/{domain_id}/records.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
