Magic Cloud Overview
The Magic Cloud MCP server exposes HTTP endpoints from a self-hosted Magic Cloud instance as tools for MCP-compatible agents. Install the MCP plugin, point an agent at the cloudlet URL, and let it invoke endpoints defined in the instance's modules folder. Magic Cloud supplies the database, API, authentication, role-based access control, jobs, and Hyperlambda runtime behind those endpoints. Reach for it when an agent needs to work with applications or data that must remain on your own hardware.
Primary Use Cases for Magic Cloud:
- Expose internal application APIs to an AI agent
- Query and update self-hosted database-backed applications
- Wrap OpenAPI services as agent-callable tools
- Build role-controlled agents for legacy database APIs
