The AlibabaCloud MCP Server enables seamless integration with Alibaba Cloud APIs, allowing AI assistants to manage cloud resources across various services through the Model Context Protocol:
ECS Management: Create, start, stop, reboot instances; run commands; reset passwords; replace system disks
RDS Management: Start, stop, reboot, and list RDS instances
OSS Management: List, create, delete buckets, and manage objects
CloudMonitor: Retrieve CPU, memory, and disk usage metrics for ECS instances
VPC & Switch Management: View VPCs and VSwitches
Security Groups: Describe and manage security groups
Resource Inventory: View details for available resources, regions, zones, account attributes, and images
Used for installing the uv package manager which is required to run the MCP server.
Supported platform for running the MCP server with installation via curl script.
