The Upsun Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server enables management of Upsun projects and environments through AI assistants such as Claude. It supports conversational commands to create, modify, and monitor infrastructure without using the terminal or console.

MCP projects

Key capabilities Anchor to this heading

Capability Description Use case
Natural Language Infrastructure Management Converts user instructions written in natural language to corresponding API operations. - “Show me all active environments in my project.”
- “Add Redis caching to my staging environment.”
CI/CD Integration Integrates with existing development workflows and interacts with CI/CD pipelines to trigger or respond to automated workflows. - Trigger deployments from the IDE.
- Monitor build progress from documentation tools or chat interfaces.
AI-Based Automation Supports AI-driven automation that adapts to real-world conditions by analyzing metrics, historical data, and usage patterns. - Resource allocation based on usage trends.
- Automated troubleshooting with suggested root causes.
- Adaptive backup scheduling.

Security Model Anchor to this heading

All MCP operations follow the existing Upsun security model. The MCP Server defaults to read-only operations for safety, with write operations available through explicit configuration.

To enable write operations, include the following header in your MCP configuration:

{
  "enable-write": "true"
}

Architecture Anchor to this heading

The Upsun MCP Server uses Streamable HTTP transport for communication and event streaming.

It uses HTTP POST for client-to-server messages with optional Server-Sent Events for streaming capabilities. This transport enables remote server communication and supports standard HTTP authentication methods including bearer tokens, API keys, and custom headers.
