MCP Server

bnerd can run as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, allowing AI clients to manage cloud infrastructure through structured tool calls.

Quick Start

bnerd mcp-server

This starts the MCP server over stdio transport in read-only mode (default).

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol is a standard for AI applications to interact with external tools. When running as an MCP server, bnerd exposes cloud management tools that AI clients (like Claude Desktop) can use to:

  • Query DNS zones, records, and domains
  • List compute resources (servers, volumes, networks)
  • View billing information
  • Manage Kubernetes clusters
  • Read and write files
  • Execute shell commands

Safety Modes

The server supports three safety modes that control which operations are available:

bnerd mcp-server --read-only        # Default: only read operations
bnerd mcp-server --non-destructive  # Read + create/update
bnerd mcp-server --allow-writes     # Full access including delete

See Safety Modes for details.
