Description

Alibaba Cloud MCP Server provides a bridge to Alibaba Cloud services, enabling AI assistants to manage cloud resources through natural language. Developed by Zheng Dayu at Alibaba, this implementation offers tools for managing ECS instances (start, stop, reboot, create, delete), viewing cloud resources (instances, regions, zones, images, security groups), monitoring system metrics (CPU, memory, disk usage), and configuring VPC networks. The server supports both API-based operations and more complex tasks through OOS (Operation Orchestration Service), making it particularly valuable for users who need to monitor and manage their Alibaba Cloud infrastructure without navigating the console interface.
