Don’t Take Our Word For It
From cutting origin traffic to freeing developer hours, see what Cloudways MCP is doing for people like you.
The MCP has taken out a lot of the admin headache that we used to have, where you’d have a senior developer who should be working on something a lot more complex having to do some very basic setups. They’re now able to get onto it, so it’s massively improved our efficiency as an agency.
Sam Blackbourn
Marketing Director
Through the MCP I pulled server settings, Cloudflare details, and traffic analytics, and could show that origin egress was around 20 GB against roughly 147 GB total, meaning the Cloudflare edge was already serving the overwhelming majority of traffic and our image optimization was doing its job

Frequently Asked Questions
Which AI clients are supported?
Claude (Desktop and Code), Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, VS Code Copilot, Windsurf, Codex, Cline, and any other MCP-compatible client. Bridge clients like Claude Desktop require Node.js v24+
Do I need to know how to call API endpoints in code?
No. Describe what you want in plain language and your AI tool picks the right action automatically. All 250+ Cloudways API endpoints are covered without you ever touching them directly.
Do I need to pay for MCP?
No. MCP is available to all Cloudways customers at no extra charge.
What’s the difference between read and write operations?
Read operations access your resources and data and list them without making any changes. Write operations access your resources and apply the changes you requested in the prompt. Some write operations like DELETE are destructive and require extra caution.
What happens if I run a destructive action by mistake?
Destructive actions require confirmation before they execute and every action is audit-logged. Most operations are also reversible by restoring the last known good state through backup restore.
How do I fix a stale tool cache?
Your AI client caches the tool list on first connection and won't pick up new tools added after that automatically. To get the latest tools, toggle the Cloudways MCP server connection off and on in your client settings or fully restart the client.
What is the role of Access Token in Cloudways MCP operations?
MCP authentication works through a scoped Access Token. You control what each token can do, full access, read-only, or per-endpoint, and when it expires. Tokens are shown once at creation and can be revoked instantly from your Cloudways dashboard.
Won’t 250+ tools overload my AI client?
No. Your client sees just 65 tools and the rest load dynamically on demand through a meta-tool architecture. Your context window stays lean and every dynamic tool runs through the same validation, rate limits, and audit logging as a direct call.
Your Servers Are One Prompt Away.
