Overview

aliyun/alibaba-cloud-ops-mcp-server MCP server connects AI assistants to Alibaba Cloud APIs for managing ECS, RDS, OSS, VPC, OOS, and Cloud Monitor resources. It runs through uvx as a stdio MCP server and authenticates with Alibaba Cloud access-key environment variables. Tools cover instance operations, storage management, monitoring queries, local project analysis, and application deployment to ECS. Reach for it when an agent needs to inspect or change Alibaba Cloud resources or deploy an application to ECS.

Use cases

  • Inspect ECS regions, zones, instances, and account quotas
  • Start, stop, reboot, or create batches of ECS instances
  • Query Cloud Monitor CPU, memory, load, and disk metrics
  • Deploy packaged applications to ECS with OOS
  • List and manage OSS buckets and objects

Key features

  • ECS lifecycle and command operations
  • RDS instance lifecycle management
  • OSS bucket and object management
  • Cloud Monitor metric queries
  • OOS application deployment
  • Local project analysis and shell tools

How Alibaba Cloud Ops MCP Server works

What aliyun/alibaba-cloud-ops-mcp-server MCP server does

aliyun/alibaba-cloud-ops-mcp-server MCP server exposes Alibaba Cloud operations to MCP-compatible AI clients. It covers common ECS tasks such as listing instances, regions, zones, images, security groups, and account quotas, as well as creating, starting, stopping, rebooting, deleting, and modifying instances. It can also run commands across multiple ECS instances and replace their system disks.

The server includes operations for RDS instance lifecycle management, OSS bucket and object inspection, VPC and VSwitch discovery, and Cloud Monitor metrics. Monitoring tools return CPU usage, one-, five-, and fifteen-minute load averages, memory statistics, and disk capacity or utilization data for ECS instances.

Application workflows are also included. Local project tools can list directories, run shell commands, and analyze a project’s technology stack and deployment method. The deployment workflow packages an application locally, sends the artifact through OSS, and uses OOS to deploy it to selected ECS instances. Deployment status and the most recent deployment information can be queried afterward.

How it works

The aliyun/alibaba-cloud-ops-mcp-server MCP server uses Alibaba Cloud API operations for many read and storage functions, while OOS implements several batch lifecycle actions and application deployment tasks. An MCP client sends tool calls, and the server performs the corresponding Alibaba Cloud operation using the configured credentials.

For deployment, first analyze the project, then build an archive such as a TAR.GZ or ZIP file, and finally call the deployment tool with the deployment language and target ECS instance IDs. Application and application-group records are created when needed. If no ECS instance IDs are supplied, the deployment tool returns a creation guide link. Deployment details are saved locally, and the resulting service link is presented in Markdown.

The deployment tool can infer start and stop commands from the project files and deployment language. Manual commands are intended for cases where custom behavior is explicitly required. Node.js projects receive automatic dependency installation as part of the generated start process.

Setup and configuration

Install uv, then configure the server in an MCP client using the uvx command and the alibaba-cloud-ops-mcp-server@latest package. The standard configuration sets a 600-second timeout and supplies these environment variables:

  • ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID
  • ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET

Restart the MCP client after changing its configuration. The repository documents setup with VS Code and Cline, and also provides configuration links for Cursor and other marketplace clients. Credentials must have permission for the Alibaba Cloud products and operations the agent will call.

Tools and capabilities

Key capability groups include:

  • ECS discovery, lifecycle control, command execution, password reset, and system-disk replacement
  • RDS start, stop, restart, and instance listing operations
  • OSS bucket creation, deletion, listing, and object inspection
  • VPC and VSwitch discovery
  • ECS CPU, load, memory, and disk metrics through Cloud Monitor
  • OOS-based application deployment and deployment-status queries
  • Local directory listing, shell execution, and deployment-stack analysis

These capabilities place the aliyun/alibaba-cloud-ops-mcp-server MCP server in the ☁️ Cloud Platforms category and make it relevant to infrastructure inspection, routine operations, and ECS application delivery.

Limitations and notes

The server can perform mutating operations, including deleting OSS buckets or ECS instances, changing passwords, replacing system disks, and stopping or rebooting resources. Review requested actions and Alibaba Cloud permissions before allowing an agent to execute them.

OOS password resets restart the affected ECS instances. Application deployment requires a prepared build artifact, a recognized project type, and available target instances.

Frequently Asked Questions about Alibaba Cloud Ops MCP Server

aliyun/alibaba-cloud-ops-mcp-server is an MCP server that connects AI assistants to Alibaba Cloud APIs. Its main tools manage ECS, RDS, OSS, VPC, OOS deployments, and Cloud Monitor metrics, including instance lifecycle actions, bucket operations, monitoring queries, command execution, and application deployment to ECS.

Install `uv`, then configure an MCP client to run `uvx alibaba-cloud-ops-mcp-server@latest`. Add the Alibaba Cloud access-key environment variables to the client configuration and restart the client for the changes to take effect.

It requires `ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET`. The associated Alibaba Cloud identity also needs permission for the products and operations the agent will use.

Yes, Cursor is listed as a supported marketplace client. Its documented configuration runs the server with `uvx`, sets a 600-second timeout, and passes the Alibaba Cloud access-key variables.

Analyze the project, build a TAR.GZ or ZIP artifact, and call the OOS deployment tool with the deployment language and ECS instance IDs. The workflow can create application records, upload the artifact to OSS, deploy it, and expose deployment status for follow-up checks.
