Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Flux Cloud every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

flux

flux_build_spec

Turns images, ports, resources and a term into a complete, correctly formatted v8 specification, with public ports auto-picked and data replication enabled. Returns the spec plus local validation errors and warnings.

flux_cancel_app

Ends an app early by updating its term so it expires within about an hour. The network then uninstalls it everywhere. With confirm=true this signs and pays the (usually minimal) update; without it, returns the plan.

flux_control_app

restart: restarts containers. redeploy: pulls the image again and recreates containers (hard=true also wipes data). remove: uninstalls from nodes; the registration stays and the network re-spawns it elsewhere, so use flux_cancel_app to stop paying. Scope is one node (nodeIp) or every node running the app (global). Requires the owner key.

flux_deploy_app

Validates the specification on a node, quotes it, and with confirm=true signs it with the Flux ID, broadcasts it and pays the quoted FLUX from the payment address. Without confirm it only returns the plan (price, balance, warnings) and spends nothing. Registers a new name or updates an existing app of the same owner. Then call flux_wait_for_app with the returned txid.

flux_generate_keys

Creates two fresh private keys (WIF): one for the Flux ID that will own apps, one for the address that pays. The response contains the secrets; store them in the MCP server environment as FLUX_ID_PRIVATE_KEY and FLUX_PAYMENT_PRIVATE_KEY, then restart the server. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere by this tool.

flux_get_app

Looks up any app on the network by name and returns its published specification, expiry, running instances, URLs and a reachability check: probes the shared domain (HTTP) and each instance port (TCP and HTTP) and explains what a 503 means, including when it is expected for non-web apps.

flux_get_app_logs

Fetches the last N log lines of an app from one of the nodes running it. Requires the owner key. The component is picked automatically when the app has one (private apps are decrypted with the owner key); otherwise the available names are listed.

flux_get_app_stats

CPU, memory and network stats of the containers of an app on one node. Requires the owner key.

flux_get_identity

Returns the Flux ID (app owner address), the payment address and its spendable FLUX balance with its USD value. Explains what to configure if keys are missing. Never returns private keys.

flux_get_network_info

Node counts by tier, current block height, FLUX/USD rate and the deployment payment address.

flux_get_pricing

Returns the current USD rate card, the live FLUX/USD rate, the pay-in-FLUX discount and instant USD estimates for a few reference sizes. Use flux_quote_app for the exact price of a specific app.

flux_list_my_apps

Lists every app registered by the owner (or a given Flux ID) with expiry and instance counts.

flux_quote_app

Returns the Flux Cloud price for registering the given specification, or for updating it if an app of that name already exists (the unused part of the current term is credited). Price is in USD with the FLUX amount at market rate.

flux_validate_spec

Runs the local rule checks, then asks a FluxOS node to verify the specification exactly as it would at registration (image reachable, architecture, ports, name availability). Returns the node-formatted spec on success.

flux_wait_for_app

Polls the network for up to timeoutSeconds (default 45 to fit hosts with a 60 s tool timeout, max 600). Returns payment confirmations, whether the spec was accepted, and the running instances with URLs. Safe to call repeatedly until done=true.

Flux Cloud — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Flux Cloud do?

It exposes 15 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: flux_build_spec, flux_cancel_app, flux_control_app, flux_deploy_app, flux_generate_keys, flux_get_app and 9 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Flux Cloud working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 255 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Flux Cloud?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Flux Cloud need an API key?

No. Flux Cloud completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 15 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Flux Cloud?

It answers our handshake in 255 ms on average, which is faster than 57% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

How many people use Flux Cloud?

The npm package @runonflux/flux-cloud-mcp was installed 132 times in the last week. Week over week that is -49%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Flux Cloud open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.runonflux.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
